Note to Residents of the European Union: In order to comply with the requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for European users, this Privacy Policy outlines the legal basis on which ETC processes your personal data (also referred to as personal information herein) and provides other information required by the GDPR. ETC processes personal data when it has a lawful basis to do so in accordance with the GDPR. Generally, this means that ETC processes personal data only where it has consent, where necessary to provide the individual with information, products, or services, or where necessary to comply with ETC’s legal obligations. ETC may also process personal data where otherwise allowed by the GDPR for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy (for example, to communicate with individuals and to respond to their requests). Please see below for further information.

 

Why does ETC collect personal information?
ETC may collect personal information for the following purposes:

  • To better understand how ETC may improve its products and services, to develop and conduct its business and operations, and for other internal business purposes;
  • To provide individuals with information on current and future products and services or other developments with respect to ETC and its affiliates and partners (in accordance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation – see below); and
  • To comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements or to protect ETC’s legal rights and property;

(collectively, the “Authorized Purposes”).

The type of information that ETC may collect from individuals includes, for example, name, email address, address, phone number, location, and other information individuals choose to provide.

ETC may collect personal information for other purposes where it has a legal duty or right to do so, or where ETC has a good faith belief that it is necessary to protect the property or rights of ETC.

ETC does not collect personal information for any other purposes, unless it has the consent of the individual to whom it relates.

 

How does ETC collect personal information?
ETC only collects personal information about an individual with the individual’s knowledge and consent. Generally, this means that ETC collects personal information directly from the individual to whom it relates, whether via ETC’s website, e-mail, telephone, fax, or in person. Occasionally, ETC may collect personal information from third party sources, but only with the knowledge and consent of the individual, or where otherwise authorized by law.

Visitors to ETC’s website should also be aware that anonymous technical information may be collected by ETC as a result of a visit to ETC’s website. For example, this information may include the visitor’s IP address, geolocation, browser type, operating system, domain name, access times and referring website addresses. ETC uses this anonymous technical information for purposes such as diagnosing problems with ETC’s servers, improving the operation and content of ETC’s website, and compiling aggregate and statistical information.

ETC will not attempt to link or match such anonymous technical information with any personally-identifiable information unless ETC has an individual’s consent, ETC (or its service providers) have detected or reasonably suspect any unlawful use of ETC’s services or a security breach, or ETC has a legal duty or right to do so.

ETC may use “cookies” on its website. “Cookies” are small text files placed on computers that can collect and store a variety of information. Permanent cookies are stored indefinitely on a user’s hard drive unless manually deleted, while temporary cookies are automatically deleted from the user’s browser upon logging out of a website.

In some cases, ETC may share personal information with third party service providers providing products or services to or performing functions on ETC’s behalf, including, for example, vendors that provide information technology services or provide analytics or assessment services to ETC, and app developers whose products ETC may resell.

ETC does not otherwise use or disclose personal information unless ETC has an individual’s consent, ETC has a good faith belief that disclosure of the information is necessary to protect the rights or property of ETC, or ETC has a legal duty or right to do so.

 

ETC does not rent, sell or trade customer lists or other personal information.   

Consent – Is there a choice?
Individuals provide their consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by ETC when they provide their information to ETC or use its products or services.

Individuals can deny or withdraw their consent to ETC’s collection, use and disclosure of their personal information at any time upon reasonable notice, subject to any legal or contractual requirements. However, if consent is denied or withdrawn, ETC may not be able to provide certain products or services.

ETC and its affiliates may use personal information to inform individuals of current and/or new products or services or other developments that ETC or its affiliates or partners believe will be of interest to individuals, in accordance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation.
