At NitroTek Internet
Services Inc. (www.nitrotek.com), the privacy and protection of your
personal information is very important to us. That's why we've created
this privacy policy which gives you control over how your personal
information is collected, used or given out. It's
the best way we can demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy.
Our privacy policy fully
complies with the Canadian government's new
privacy legislation, the "Personal
Information Protection and
Electronic Documents Act" and
incorporates the protections of the
Canadian Standards Association's "Model Code for the Protection of
Personal Information".
1. We
Give
Our Customers Control Of How Information About Them Is Used.
NitroTek
obtains your express or implied consent before we collect or use your
personal information, or disclose it to others (except
as required by law or for our protection). You can withdraw your
consent for us to use your personal information whenever you want,
subject to
legal or contractual requirements and reasonable notice. You can update
or change your personal information at any time.
2. Why
Do
We Need Your Personal Information?
While you
can visit the NitroTek web site without registering or providing any
personal information, it is necessary for us to collect a minimum
amount of data to be able to provide our clients with a satisfactory
level of service. We require this data for the following uses:
- Establishing
and maintaining a commercial relationship with you by
building your NitroTek.com account
- Providing
you with ongoing service
- Responding
to your inquiries
- Fulfilling
and tracking your orders
- Basic
E-mail communications with you - confirmation of orders, notification
of changes, etc.
- To comply
with legal requirements
In order
for you to maximize your experience with NitroTek, when you complete
your Registration you will automatically and periodically receive
e-mail notifications from us. You do not have to receive such mailings
in order to become or remain a registered user and you may also
unsubscribe at any time by sending an email to
info@NitroTek.com .
3. How
Do
We Use Your Information?
When you
register with our site, we ask for your name, phone, fax, company name
and e-mail address. We use this to contact you when necessary. We may
also use information from your account based on your site visits to
generate statistics and aggregate reports for internal use
only. No information will ever be shown to affiliates, subsidiaries,
licensees,
successors, and partners. These statistics and aggregate reports will
not contain any personally identifiable information and your identity
will be kept anonymous. Certain confidential information, such as
passwords, is not disclosed in any of these reports.
4.
With
Whom Does NitroTek.com Share Your Information?
When you
purchase a product or service from NitroTek, certain information you
give is provided to the banking merchant to complete the transaction.
We will not disclose your personal information to third parties, except
to the extent necessary to provide you with a requested service, under
circumstances required by law.
You will not be contacted directly by any third party as a result of
your relationship with NitroTek unless you have given us permission to
do so. We will not share your information with any of our
business partners.
5. Security
of Your Personal Information.
Our site
has stringent security measures in place to protect
the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
Always remember to log out of your NitroTek account and close your
browser window when your transactions are complete. This helps keep
your account safe.
While we strive to protect your personal information, no data
transmission over the Internet is guaranteed to be 100% secure. Thus,
NitroTek cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
during transmission to or from our site, and you submit information to
us at
your own risk. However, we do our best to ensure the highest level of
security on our systems. Your username
and password will normally be passed to you by e-mail. If you
wish to have your username and password passed to you be a method other
than e-mail, inform us before that information is sent
to you by e-mail.
6.

them turned on. You may still visit our site if you have cookies turned
off.

NitroTek
keeps your personal information only so long as we need it for the
products and services you're using, to offer you products and services
when you are a customer and for a reasonable time thereafter, or to
meet legal requirements. We destroy your personal information when it
is no longer needed, or we remove your name and all personal
identifiers from the information.
