Privacy Policy

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) tells you how we collect information from you on the WHATISCAINZ website (the “Website”), how we use it and with whom we share it. This Privacy Policy describes the principles that govern our information practices and other privacy aspects of the Website. In this Privacy Policy, we refer to information that specifically identifies you or can be used to contact you as “personally identifiable information.” This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by WHATISCAINZ via the Website and does not apply to information collected or obtained by WHATISCAINZ by any other means.

Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to the Website. By using the Website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information to the Website or send information via the Website, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Passive Information Collection

Such information is not combined with personally identifiable information collected elsewhere on the Website unless you have consented.
