PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy (the “Policy“) is intended to inform you about our privacy practices. We want you to know how and for what purposes we collect your data and information and how it is stored and used.

SIDING TOOLS INDUSTRIES takes all reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and security of information obtained from users via the Site and to prevent unauthorized access to and use of such information. To this end, SIDING TOOLS INDUSTRIES regularly reviews its security measures.

DATA COLLECTED BY AUTOMATIC MEANS

Several technologies may be used on our Site to improve its efficiency and usability as well as for marketing or statistical purposes. These technologies may involve the automatic collection and storage of data by us or by third parties on our behalf. Generally, this data does not contain personal details about the user. These technologies include, but are not limited to, cookies, Adobe Flash cookies, web beacons (also known as “pixel tags” and “clear GIFs”), tracking links or similar technologies and web metrics.

Data collected may include, but is not limited to :

  • the visitor’s IP address;
  • the date and time of the visit
  • the referring URL (the site from which the visitor came)
  • the pages visited on our Site;
  • information about the browser used (browser type and version, operating system, etc.).

We might also use cookies to identify a user’s account holder and to place items in a virtual shopping cart during a purchase. The cookies we typically use in these cases are “session cookies”, which are automatically destroyed when you close your browser. You can manage your browsing preferences directly in your web browser at any time. By default, browsers allow the use of cookies, but this feature can also be disabled. However, some services may not be available. You can also manually delete cookies after they have been used, using your web browser.

Web beacons, tracking links or similar technologies, and cookies are used primarily for statistical analysis. These technologies can also be used to track traffic patterns on Web sites, or whether an e-mail was received and opened, and whether a response was made.

Cybermetrics, on the other hand, is a method of collecting and evaluating the behavior of visitors to websites or (mobile) applications. It involves the analysis of traffic patterns to determine, for example, how often certain parts of a website or (mobile) application are visited or what information and services are of most interest to our visitors. To do this, we primarily use clickstream data and the other techniques described above. The web metrics services used on our Site and (mobile) applications are provided by Google Analytics or others.

This means that when you visit our Site, a Google Analytics cookie is placed on your computer or mobile device, unless your browser setting does not allow such cookies, as noted above. In addition, when you visit our Site, the cyber metrics described above – including “clickstream data,” data provided by “web beacons and tracking links,” and information stored in Google Analytics cookies – will be sent to Google Analytics to be analyzed for SIDING TOOLS INDUSTRIES.

Google Analytics acts as an agent of SIDING TOOLS INDUSTRIES, which means that SIDING TOOLS INDUSTRIES only determines the purposes for which the data is used and that Google Analytics may not disclose the information to third parties (unless required to do so by law or by a court order). In terms of privacy, this means that SIDING TOOLS INDUSTRIES is the “controller” and Google Analytics is the “data processor”.

If you do not want information about your visits to our Site to be collected and evaluated by Google Analytics, you can opt out. This means that Google Analytics will either anonymize the information it collects (but will continue to collect it) or stop collecting information about your visit, depending on the type of objection you choose. Opting out requires you to agree to have a cookie placed on your computer by Google Analytics. You can request to opt-out by clicking on the link provided in the privacy policy section of the Google Analytics website (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

For more information about Google Analytics and its privacy policy, please see the policy text at : http://www.google.com/intl/fr/policies/privacy/.

GEOLOCATION SERVICES

On our Site, we offer location-based services, including through Google Maps.

If you use these (mobile) applications, they may receive information about your current location (similar to GPS signals sent by mobile devices) or other information that can be used to estimate your location. You can allow the geolocation service to be enabled and, at any time, you can opt out of the application’s use of the geolocation service.

For more information about Google Maps and its privacy policy, please see the policy text at Google: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

RETARGETING TECHNOLOGIES

Our Site may use Internet advertising retargeting technologies. This allows our visitors, who are already interested in our products, to view our ads on partner websites. We believe that displaying a personalized advertisement based on interests is more valuable than an advertisement that has no connection to the individual.

We also work with companies that use tracking technologies. These companies deliver ads on our behalf across the Internet. These companies may collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits to our Site and your interaction with all of our communications, including advertising.

Ad retargeting technologies analyze your cookies and display ads based on your Internet behavior. This technology does not record any of your personal information.

You can disable Google’s use of cookies by accessing the Ads Preference Manager. You can also opt out of the use of cookies by a third-party vendor by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page and the DoubleClick opt-out page.

USE AND RETENTION

Data collected through our Site and any other information otherwise submitted to SIDING TOOLS INDUSTRIES may be used to improve the content of our Site, for marketing research purposes, for statistical purposes, to improve our services or to provide you with information of interest.

We only use the data for the purposes for which it was collected. Your consent will be required for the use of your personal information for marketing purposes other than those mentioned above. You may object to any use of your data, request its removal or modification.

SIDING TOOLS INDUSTRIES will keep the data for a reasonable period of time either to achieve the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law, after which time it will be destroyed or we will ensure that it is anonymous.
