Health & Safety Watch Inc. Privacy Policy
(Last Updated on April 23, 2012))
Health & Safety Watch respects the privacy of all of its users and is committed
to protecting such privacy in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy
Policy explains Health & Safety Watch Inc. and its affiliate Intelligent Health
Solutions Inc., (collectively, "Health & Safety Watch") treatment of your personally
identifiable information collected in connection with your activities on or related
to all Health & Safety Watch websites and applications referencing this Privacy Policy (the "Health
& Safety Watch Sites") and all services made available on the Health & Safety Watch
Sites (collectively, unless noted otherwise, the "Health & Safety Watch Services").
This Privacy Policy also explains how you can ask questions and make suggestions
about our privacy practices and review and update your personal information.
We urge you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and to check back periodically
as this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Please note that this Privacy
Policy does not apply to the practices of companies or websites which are not owned
or controlled by Health & Safety Watch including, without limitation, those whose
URLs appear on any Health & Safety Watch Site or those whose links are provided
on any Health & Safety Watch Site. You should check the Privacy Policies on any
other site you go to before giving any information about yourself or downloading
anything from that site.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
In the course of operating the Health & Safety Watch Services, we may collect two
types of information about our users: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
"Personal Information" is personally identifiable information, such as your name,
address, email address, birth date and gender. Personal Information is collected
by us when you choose to provide it to us when registering for a Health & Safety
Watch Service, such as when you choose to subscribe to a Health & Safety Watch Service,
enter a Health & Safety Watch promotion or choose to receive a Health & Safety Watch
email. In addition, if you choose to contact any of our customer service representatives,
we may keep a record of that correspondence so that we may fully address the subject
matter. We may also receive Personal Information from our business partners and
other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm to us that you have
permitted them to share such information.
Business contact information such as the name, title, business address, email address
or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization
is not considered Personal Information.
"Non-Personal Information" is information of an anonymous nature, such as your Internet
Protocol Address (IP Address), the domain you may have used to access a Health &
Safety Watch Service, the type and version of browser or operating system you may
be using, and the website you may have come from and visit next. Aggregate information,
such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation
of our users), number of visitors and average time spent on a Health & Safety Watch
Service, is also considered Non-Personal Information. This may also be known as
“anonymous” or “aggregated” information.
Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating
the Health & Safety Watch Services. For example, our Web servers may automatically
collect Non- Personal Information which is provided through your browser or stored
on a Cookie (as defined herein) or through a Web Beacon (as defined herein) when
you choose to visit a Health & Safety Watch Service. Non-Personal Information is
used by Health & Safety Watch as described in this Privacy Policy.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information may be used by us for the following purposes:
a. Providing you with the Health & Safety Watch Services and information you have
requested from us, including your use of the Health & Safety Watch Sites. We may
from time to time use your Personal Information to contact you about changes, enhancements
or similar notices related to the Health & Safety Watch Services;
b. If you indicated that you were interested in receiving offers or information
from Health & Safety Watch or certain of our selected sponsors or advertisers, Health
& Safety Watch may send you email materials and other mailings about products and
services that we feel may be of interest to you. If at any time you would like to
end your subscription to any such email materials, follow the directions posted
at the bottom of the email material;
c. Health & Safety Watch may also use Personal Information if it has reasonable
grounds to believe the information could be useful when investigating a contravention
of a federal, provincial or foreign law or in order to protect or defend a legal
interest.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will not sell or rent your Personal Information to anyone.
We will only disclose your Personal Information to third parties:
a. Where you have specifically given us your consent to disclose your Personal Information
for a designated purpose;
b. Who are acting on our behalf as our agents, suppliers or service providers, solely
to enable us to more efficiently provide you with the Health & Safety Watch Services.
Such entities act under strict contractual controls, requiring them to maintain
the confidentiality of all such Personal Information and to use such information
solely for purposes related to the provision of the Health & Safety Watch Services;
c. As may be set out in the Terms and Conditions applicable to a Health & Safety
Watch Service, to facilitate the provision of such Health & Safety Watch Service,
such as fulfilling legal requirements;
d. As required by law, including by an order of any court, institution or body with
jurisdiction or authority to compel the production of information, or in order to
protect or defend a legal interest; or
e. In connection with a Health & Safety Watch corporate re-organization, merger
or amalgamation with another entity, or a sale of all or a substantial portion of
the assets of Health & Safety Watch provided that the Personal Information disclosed
continues to be used for the purposes permitted by this Privacy Policy by the entity
acquiring the information.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES AND ADVERTISEMENTS
A Health & Safety Watch Service may contain links to other websites and services.
While we try to link only to sites and services that share our high standards and
respect for privacy, please understand that we are not responsible for the content
of, or the privacy practices employed by, other companies or websites. This Privacy
Policy applies only to the Health & Safety Watch Services referencing this Privacy
Policy.
The majority of the advertisements which are displayed in connection with the Health
& Safety Watch Services are served through reputable third party advertisement serving
partner(s), in accordance with their policies as described on their own website.
SECURITY
The security of your Personal Information is important to us. Health & Safety Watch
takes technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to protect
Personal Information that you provide to us. We instruct our employees with access
to your Personal Information that it is to be used only in adherence with the principles
set forth in this Privacy Policy and the laws applicable to each specific business.
You can help protect the security of your Personal Information as well. For instance,
never give out your password, since this is what is used to access your account
or registration information. Also remember to log out of your account and close
your browser window when you finish using a Health & Safety Watch Service or surfing
the Web, so that other people using the same computer won't have access to your
information.
Due to the insecure nature of e-mail communication and the Internet, we encourage
you not to use any Health & Safety Watch Site as a means of communication with Health
& Safety Watch or others (i) regarding questions or issues of a medical nature personal
to yourself or to anyone else you have identified or who is identifiable; (ii) to
relate any personal or medical information about yourself (iii) or for inquiries
regarding any services other than those of Health & Safety Watch. E-mail communications
regarding such matters will not be responded to and will be discarded unread.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY?
Health & Safety Watch may from time to time change this Privacy Policy as new Health
& Safety Watch Services are added or old ones changed. Changes will be effective
when notice of such change is posted at a Health & Safety Watch Site. Please check
this Privacy Policy regularly for updates.
ACCESSING AND CHANGING ACCOUNT / REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Upon request, Health & Safety Watch will provide you with the means to review, update,
edit or delete any account or registration information you may have provided to
us.
If you are unsure whether we have a record containing any of your Personal Information
and would like to confirm whether or not we do, please send an e-mail indicating
all e-mail addresses that you may have given us.
If you decide at any time that you do not want to receive any e-mail materials to
which you have subscribed, you may choose to unsubscribe to these e-mails by following
the instructions at the end of the message.
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS?
If you have questions, comments or suggestions about this Privacy Policy or Health
& Safety Watch's privacy practices that were not answered here, send us an e-mail
info@healthandsafetywatch.com.
Health & Safety Watch USE OF NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating
the Health & Safety Watch Services. For example, our Web servers may automatically
collect Non- Personal Information which is provided through your browser or stored
on a Cookie or through a Web Beacon when you choose to visit a Health & Safety Watch
Service. In addition, during your visit to our site, we may record choices you have
made and use this to provide more customized content or advertising. The data does
not identify you and is not retained after your visit. This is sometimes called
"clickstream" data. If we do market research studies or polls in any area that will
only be reported in aggregate, this will be indicated.
In addition to Health & Safety Watch's practices related to IP Addresses, Cookies
or Web Beacons or Clickstream Data, Non-Personal Information is used generally by
Health & Safety Watch to monitor and improve the operation of the Health & Safety
Watch Services, to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics
and behaviour of our users, to measure user demographics and interests regarding
specific Health & Safety Watch Services, to describe our services to third parties
such as prospective sponsors, collaborators and advertisers and to analyze how and
where best to use our resources. No Personal Information will be disclosed during
these activities.
Health & Safety Watch may also use Non-Personal Information to inform our collaborators,
sponsors and advertisers as to the performance of a particular sponsorship or advertisement.
In such case we may disclose to those third-party sponsors and advertisers the overall
aggregate demographics available regarding, for example who participated in a contest
or who saw and "clicked" on an advertisement. No Personal Information will be disclosed
to these sponsors and advertisers as part of this process; only information in an
anonymous, aggregate form will be disclosed.
IP ADDRESSES
An IP Address is the unique number which is assigned to every direct Internet access
point. Many IP Addresses can generally be associated with certain Internet service
providers or large organizations. IP Addresses do not contain any Personal Information.
When you, through your browser, request a web page or similar Internet information
from another computer on the Internet, your browser automatically provides that
computer with an IP address to which it will send the requested information.
Health & Safety Watch and IP Addresses:
a. Whenever you request a Health & Safety Watch Service web page or certain other
similar Health & Safety Watch content, your browser automatically provides our computers
with your IP Address, to which our computers will send the requested information.
Each such request is logged by our computers with information including the IP Address
of the computer that requested the page and is stored by our computers as needed
for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy;
b. Health & Safety Watch may use your IP Address to display more appropriate and
relevant content and advertising, such as content and advertising based on your
geographic area. Aggregate information derived from IP Addresses may be reported
by Health & Safety Watch to its advertisers and partners. For example, Health &
Safety Watch may report to its advertisers the estimated total number of users accessing
a particular Health & Safety Watch Site from a specific city;
c. Health & Safety Watch may use your IP Address to facilitate the diagnoses and
remedy of a technical problem reported by you or our technical team.
MOBILE DEVICE LOCATION INFORMATION
Health & Safety Watch obtains your consent (an opt-in) before using information
from pinpointing technology such as GPS and cell tower information. This information
enables Health & Safety Watch Services to establish the approximate location of
your mobile device. Location information is only used to improve the relevance of
the information provided by Health & Safety Watch Services. Personal mobile device
location information is not stored, shared, or used for any other purposes by Health
& Safety Watch.
COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS
A “Cookie” is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is
transferred (through your browser) from a web site to the hard drive of your computer.
The Cookie identifies your browser and will NOT let a web site know any personal
information about you, such as your name and address. Since Cookies are only text
files, they cannot run on your computer, search your computer for other information
or transmit any information to anyone. Health & Safety Watch may use Cookies to:
a. Monitor website usage and improve the operation and performance of the Health
& Safety Watch Services and to make our Health & Safety Watch Services easier and
more convenient to use. For example, Cookies help us remember who you are through
your browser settings so that we can offer and provide more personalized services
(e.g. language preference). Cookies also allow us to save passwords and preferences
for you so that you will not have to re-enter them the next time you visit a Health
& Safety Watch Service;
b. Measure aggregate user traffic and demographic statistics related to the Health
& Safety Watch Services and advertisements (e.g. number of users, average time spent,
average age and similar statistics). This information helps us to better understand
when to update, change or offer new services and provides us with details as to
the performance of third party advertisements and content. This information may
be reported, in aggregate form only, to our current and prospective sponsors, advertisers
and business partners. No Personal Information will be disclosed in such reports;
c. Displaying advertisements. Health & Safety Watch and third party advertising
providers used by Health & Safety Watch may use Cookies when serving advertisements.
Cookies are used on many major web sites. Most browsers are initially set up to
accept Cookies.
If you prefer, you can reset your browser either to notify you when you have received
a Cookie, or to refuse to accept Cookies. You should understand that while Health
& Safety Watch does not require you to use Cookies, certain Health & Safety Watch
Services may not function properly if you set your browser to not accept Cookies.
Certain Health & Safety Watch Services may contain electronic images known as “Web
Beacons” -- sometimes called single-pixel gifs -- that allow Health & Safety Watch
to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services.
Web Beacons are not used to access your Personal Information; they are a technique
used to compile aggregated statistics about Health & Safety Watch Service usage.
Web Beacons collect only a limited set of information including a Cookie number,
time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web Beacon
resides. Certain Health & Safety Watch Service web pages may also contain Web Beacons
placed there by our advertising partners to help Health & Safety Watch determine
the effectiveness of our Internet advertising campaigns.
