responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
or password, and agree not to sell, transfer or assign your
Membership or any Membership rights. We reserve the right to
terminate your Membership at any time for any reason. You are
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password

webmaster@PEICanada.com.
PEICanada.com Privacy Policy
PEICanada.com is committed to protecting consumer privacy
online. We believe that greater protection of personal privacy on
the Web will not only protect consumers, but also increase
consumer confidence and ultimately their participation in online
activities. At PEICanada, we intend to give you as much
control as possible over your personal information.
The purpose of our policy is to inform you about the types of
information we gather about you when you visit our site(s), how
we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone,
and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability
to correct, the information.
Our Site(s) may contain links to other Web sites, including
Web sites directed to children. We have no control over the
privacy practices or the content of any of our business partners,
advertisers, sponsors or other sites to which we provide links
from our sites. You should check the applicable privacy policy of
the Web site sponsor when linking to other Web sites.
PEICanada.com strives to offer its visitors the many
advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive
and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable
Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone
number and other information) subject to the terms of this
privacy policy. Please note this policy applies only to
information collected by PEICanada.com online and does not
impact information collected or used by PEICanada.com or its
affiliates through other means.
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you
are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate
and the services provided. You can visit many pages on our site
without providing any information. Other pages may prompt you to
provide information, such as when you register for access to
portions of our site, sign up for membership, request certain
features (e.g., newsletters, news updates and other products) or
make a purchase. You may also provide information when you
participate in sweepstakes and contests, voting and polling
activities, photo galleries, message boards and other interactive
areas of our site.
Like most Web sites, PEICanada.com also collects
information automatically and through the use of electronic tools
that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may use "cookie"
technology. Among other things, the cookie may store your user
name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that
information each time you visit, or may control the number of
times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our
site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather
information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose
not to provide us with information, for example by setting your
browser to refuse to accept cookies, but doing so may inhibit
site functionality.
What we do with the information we
collect
We will use your information only as permitted by law.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. As one example, we may
combine information about your usage patterns with similar
information obtained from other users to learn which pages are
visited most or what features are most attractive. Aggregated
Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and
business partners, but cannot be used to contact you
individually.
We also collect information to enhance your visit and deliver
more individualized content and advertising.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
PEICanada.com to communicate with you regarding something you
have posted, our Terms of Service and privacy policy, products
and services offered by PEICanada.com and other Island Press
affiliates and partners, administration of sweepstakes and
contests, processing e-commerce transactions and other topics we
think you might find of interest. We reserve the right to share
this information with other Island Press business units and affiliates,
including for example our affiliated newspapers and entities in
which Island Press has an ownership interest (collectively,
"Affiliates"). This policy does not apply to any Affiliate's use
of such information.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
PEICanada.com may also be used for other purposes including
but not limited to site administration and troubleshooting.
Certain third parties who provide technical support for the
operation of our site (our Web hosting service and our newsletter
provider, for example) may access such information.
As we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy,
merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such
transactions, user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a
court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably
required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of
amounts you may owe to us, and/or whenever we deem it appropriate
or necessary to give such information to law enforcement
authorities. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior
to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and
advertisements
PEICanada.com expects its partners, advertisers and
third-party affiliates to respect the privacy of our users.
However, third parties, including our partners, advertisers,
affiliates and other content providers accessible through our
site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and
practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may
link to, or view as part of a frame on a PEICanada.com page,
certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third
party. Also, through PEICanada.com you may be introduced to,
or be able to access, information, Web sites, advertisements,
features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties.
PEICanada.com is not responsible for the actions or policies
of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy
policies of those third parties when providing information on a
feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or
other third parties may use cookies or other technology to
attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve
information about you. For example, some of our advertising may
be served by third parties and may include cookies that enable
the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before. Through features available on our site,
third parties may use cookies or other technology to gather
information. PEICanada.com does not control the use of this
technology or the resulting information and is not responsible
for any actions or policies of such third parties.
Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
Should you choose to voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information in public areas on our site, such as in message
boards, chat areas or in advertising or notices you post, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used
by third parties without our knowledge and may result in
unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties.
Such activities are beyond the control of PEICanada.com and
this policy.
Children
PEICanada3.com does not knowingly collect or solicit
Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under
the age of 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have
received any information from a child under the age of 13 in
violation of this policy, we will delete that information
immediately. If you believe PEICanada.com has any information
from or about anyone under the age of 13, please contact us at
webmaster@PEICanada.com. Children under the age of 13 are
specifically prohibited from registering as Members of
PEICanada.com.
