Privacy and Accuracy
You acknowledge and agree that the internet is not a secure medium, and neither the privacy of your communications, nor visits to this web site, can be ensured. The nature of internet communications means that your communications may be susceptible to data corruption, interception and delays.
Collection of Information
We do not collect personal information about you unless you specifically and knowingly provide such information to us. This would generally happen in the case where you have entered your name in one of our contest promotions, subscribed to our newsletter or disclosed personally identifiable information on bulletin boards or in the chat areas of our web sites. In these cases, your personal information may include your name, address, phone number, age, and e-mail address.
Non-personal information about your visiting habits may also be automatically collected through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are computer files that are placed in your hard drive to remember any preferences that you may have when surfing the web. They can also tell us how often particular pages are visited.
Use of Information
If you have entered and won one of our contests, your name and city of residence may be published by us and/or our sponsors.
You agree and consent that your personal and non-personal information also may be used to generate statistics and aggregate reports for internal use by CHUM Limited and its affiliates, subsidiaries, licensees, successors, assigns, suppliers and advertisers. These statistics and reports will contain only aggregated and no personally identifiable information. Your identity is kept strictly anonymous.
You also agree that when you voluntarily disclose information on the bulletin boards or in the Forum and chat areas of our web sites, your personal and other information disclosed in your communication shall become public information and can be collected and used by outside parties. Such activities are beyond the control of CHUM Limited.
Other than as indicated above, we do not currently sell, rent, share or otherwise make available your personal information to any outside parties; however, we may decide to do so in the future. If this were to happen, CHUM Limited would announce such a plan and ask for your consent to “opt-in”. If you wanted to share your personal information, you would have to respond. If you do not respond, by default, we will assume that you do not want to be involved and your information will not be sold, rented, shared with or otherwise made available to outside parties.
We will not knowingly keep any personal information collected of visitors to our web sites who we know are under the age of 13, unless we obtain parental or legal guardian consent. Such information will never be sold, rented, shared or otherwise made available to outside parties without parental or legal guardian consent unless we are required to do so by court, governmental or other legal order.
We encourage and support the efforts of parents and legal guardians of children under the age of 13 to monitor their children’s internet usage and to caution them against providing personal information to any web site over the web without permission.
Your privacy is important to us as a visitor to any of the CHUM Limited web sites. It is our wish to provide you with a secure and highly satisfactory experience each time you visit our web sites.
