When you access and use the website, EVENTSMTL may collect certain data regarding your use of the website, such as the features used, sections visited, or any other data identifying the operating system of the device you are using. This data cannot be used to personally identify you. We may use performance tools provided by third parties, such as Google Analytics, to collect non-personal information, such as the web browser you are using, the type of operating system you use, and the domain name from which you were directed to the website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect aggregated statistical data to analyze how visitors use a website. These cookies are used to store non-identifiable data. If you do not wish to provide information to Google Analytics, you can opt-out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information on Google Analytics and how this third party handles and manages your personal information, you can review the privacy policy available at http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
Additionally, when you visit the website, we may place a data file on your device, such as a cookie, pixel tags (very small images), or a similar file. These files allow us to store certain information regarding your use of the website, including the date of your last visit, the pages you visited, and the files you downloaded. This enables us to customize the website to better cater to the interests and preferences of our users. These files may also be used by EVENTSMTL for targeted marketing purposes to show you content or advertisements we believe may be of interest to you based on your browsing behavior on the website. You have the option to disable these cookies in the future if you wish by adjusting your browser settings.
EVENTSMTL may also collect certain personal information about you, such as your full name, postal address, email address, phone number, and credit card information, which you voluntarily provide when using features of the website, such as submitting requests, orders, and quote inquiries, signing up for one of our initiatives, or providing information regarding issues with the website or services or products offered by EVENTSMTL.
4. HOW INFORMATION IS STORED AND SHARED
EVENTSMTL stores personal information for a reasonable period to allow you proper access to the website, to fully respond to your requests and/or process your orders, or to fulfill the stated purposes, or as required by law, whichever is longer. After this period, we ensure that personal information is anonymized or destroyed to protect it from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Only authorized and relevant personnel can access the data when required for the performance of their duties related to service provision, and in accordance with the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, subject to the following paragraph.
We never disclose your personal information to anyone outside of EVENTSMTL without your consent, except to the following third parties and only if they have implemented appropriate security measures to ensure at least the same level of security as we do:
- Our service providers whose services have been retained to perform certain functions on our behalf (e.g., data processing and storage, sending communications, payment processing, delivery, etc.). In such cases, we take the necessary measures to ensure that these third parties only have access to the information necessary to perform the agreed services, that they process your information solely for the purposes we have specified, and that they implement personal information protection measures in compliance with applicable laws, providing the same conditions and level of protection as described in this Privacy Policy.
- Any entity resulting from a merger, corporate reorganization, or change of control of EVENTSMTL, in whole or in part, provided that the parties have signed an agreement stipulating that the collection, use, and disclosure of information are limited to the purposes of the business transaction.
- Any public authority if required by law, or to defend our rights, or otherwise in accordance with the law. If EVENTSMTL is required to disclose information or provide a copy of such information to a government agency in accordance with the law or a court order, EVENTSMTL will attempt to give you prior notice to the extent permitted by law.
5. HYPERLINKS AND THIRD PARTIES
The website may contain sharing or posting options, or links to third-party websites or platforms. By using or activating these links or features, you leave the website, and your browsing becomes subject to the terms of use and privacy policy of those third parties. We have no control over these third-party platforms, and the fact that they are listed on the website does not make us in any way responsible for them.
6. SECURITY
All data is stored on servers that meet high security standards and are protected against improper use and unauthorized access. We strive to maintain the necessary physical, administrative, and technical security measures at our offices and data storage centers. Information is only accessible to individuals (employees or agents) who need access to the information to perform their duties.
EVENTSMTL uses reasonable means to protect the personal information you have provided when using the website. Specifically, EVENTSMTL implements technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from loss or theft, as well as from unauthorized access and disclosure, both internally and externally to our organization. However, no security mechanism is perfect, and you should be aware that there is always a risk of a security breach. EVENTSMTL disclaims any liability for the disclosure of such information about you unless caused by negligence on the part of EVENTSMTL. It should be noted that, to reduce the risk of a security breach, no credit card information is stored on the servers used to host the website.
All data collected in connection with your use of the website is generally stored on servers located in Canada. However, the data may be processed by third-party service providers of EVENTSMTL located outside of Canada to allow them to perform work on behalf of EVENTSMTL. In such cases, EVENTSMTL takes reasonable steps to ensure that these third parties are bound by appropriate safeguards.
7. YOUR RIGHTS
You have the right to know the purpose for which EVENTSMTL collects and processes your personal information, as well as the right to access, update, and correct it. You may withdraw your consent to the use and storage of your personal information by EVENTSMTL at any time. However, in such a case, you may no longer be able to use certain features of the website.
