3. WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE DISCLOSED TO ANYONE?

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in the following situations:

Unless described in this Policy, we do not share, sell, rent or trade any of your information with third parties for their promotional purposes. We have contracts in place with our data processors. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will not share your personal information with any organization apart from us.

6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose in this policy will require us to store your personal information for longer than 2 years past the termination of your user account.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of physical, electronic, and administrative measures.

The security of your personal information is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure, all to a commercially reasonable standard, including the use of encryption. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services or Apps is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.

We may process, store, and transfer your personal information in and to other countries with different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as Canadian law. In these circumstances, the governments, courts, law enforcement, or regulatory agencies of that country may be able to obtain access to your personal information. Whenever we engage a third party, we require that its privacy and security standards comply with this policy and applicable Canadian laws.

8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

Our website, Apps, and Services are not intended for children under 18 years of age. No one under age 18 may provide any personal information via our website, Apps, or Services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you are under 18, do not use or provide any information on our website, Apps, or Services. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us at info@diversified-metals.ca.

9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

10. DATA BREACH

A breach of security safeguards includes an actual or reasonably suspected loss or theft of personal information, and unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of personal information. Generally, a breach must be reported if the breach creates a real risk of significant harm to an individual. Breaches must be reported to the applicable government authority as soon as feasible after we determine that the breach has occurred. We will determine the process for notifying affected individuals in compliance with applicable legislation, including whether indirect notification (via public communication or similar manner) is required.

11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy policy.

12. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS POLICY?

In Short: Yes, we will update this policy as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
