What This Privacy Policy Covers
This policy covers how SURPLUS treats personal information that SURPLUS
collects and receives when you use the www.surplusfurniture.ca/// web site. Personal
information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your
name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly
available.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that SURPLUS does
not own or control, or to people that SURPLUS does not employ.
Information Collection and Use
How is my information used?
SURPLUS collects personal information when you fill in forms on the
www.surplusfurniture.ca/// web site and when you correspond with SURPLUS by email.
SURPLUS uses information for the following general purposes: fulfilling your
requests for products and services, improving our services, contacting you, conducting
research, and providing anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.
What personally identifiable information is collected
from me?
SURPLUS collects information in several ways from different
parts of our web site, currently www.surplusfurniture.ca///. This information
may include, but is not limited to: company name, name, address, email address,
or phone number. Wherever SURPLUS collects personal information, we make an
effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.
Who is collecting my information?
When you are on the SURPLUS site and are asked for personal information,
you are sharing that information with SURPLUS alone, unless specifically stated
otherwise. If data is being collected and/or maintained by any company other
than SURPLUS, you will be notified prior to the time of the data collection or
transfer.
How do I access, update or delete my information?
You can request the individual information that SURPLUS has collected
about you, correct factual inaccuracies in your information, remove personal
information from SURPLUS's databases, and/or update your personal information
by contacting us at the telephone number that appears on our web site.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
SURPLUS does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you
with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services
you've requested, or to have information that we believe might be of interest
provided to you, or when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or
exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We believe it is
necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action
regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential
threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of SURPLUS's terms
of use, or as otherwise required by law.
Cookies, IP Addresses, and Log Files
SURPLUS may place Internet cookies on your hard drive. Internet cookies
are small files that may be placed on your hard disk for record-keeping purposes.
While on our web site, usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally
identifiable information. Cookies are used to (a) remind us of who you are in
order to deliver you better service; (b) estimate our audience size by determining
repeat usage of the web site; and (c) measure certain traffic patterns for use
as a research tool to understand how our users' habits are similar or different
from one another. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie,
giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. By not accepting
cookies, some web pages may not display properly or you may not be permitted
to access certain information.
SURPLUS also collects IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer) to
track a user's session while the user remains anonymous. We use your IP address
to analyze trends, administer the site and help determine problems with the
servers. We do not link your IP addresses to anything personally identifiable
to you.
SURPLUS automatically receives and records information on our server logs from
your browser.
Privacy at Other Sites
The SURPLUS web site contains links to other sites in the form of text
links or images. SURPLUS is not responsible for the privacy practices or the
content of these sites. We recommend that you review the privacy statements of
each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This
Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by this web site. Please
be careful and responsible online. If you post personal information online that
is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other
parties in return. While we strive to protect your information, SURPLUS cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information through the transmission process
and you do so at your own risk.
Confidentiality and Security
We limit access to personal information about you to SURPLUS employees
who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to
provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
SURPLUS may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. As always, if you
do not agree with any changes to our privacy policy, you have the option of requesting
that we delete your personally identifiable information from our databases. This
policy can be updated on an as-needed basis and without prior notice. If we decide
to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on our web site.
