This Privacy Policy applies to Bowmanville Professional Building Ltd. (“Company”). It sets out our policy on gathering and using the information on this website and other websites (collectively “Sites”). The Company is committed to providing safe websites for visitors of all ages and has implemented this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The Company complies with Canadian Federal and Provincial privacy laws and regulations, including the Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act.
There may be links from our Sites to other websites; note that this Privacy Policy applies only to our Sites and not websites of other companies or organizations to which our Sites may be linked. You must check on any linked sites for the privacy policy that applies solely to that site and make any necessary inquiries regarding that privacy policy with the operator of the linked site. These links to third-party websites are provided as a convenience and are for informational purposes only. The Company does not endorse and is not responsible for these linked websites.
Although you are not required to register to access our Sites, you may be asked to provide us with personal information when you visit certain sections of our Sites. Your use of our Sites signifies your acknowledgement and consent to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not continue to use our Sites. Your continued use of the Sites signifies your acceptance of these terms and any changes in effect at the time of use.
Collection of personal information
Personal Information is information about you that identifies you as an individual, for example, your name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number.
We may collect the information you voluntarily provide us through responses to surveys, search functions, questionnaires, feedback, Tell Your Story forms, comments, and the like. On some of our Sites, we offer health assessment tools that ask you to provide self-assessment information. We may also ask you to provide additional information, such as your email address if you want to obtain other services or information, participate in a contest or resolve complaints or concerns.
How does Company use information gathered about online visitors?
Before forwarding us any personal information, please be advised that any information gathered on our Sites may be used in the aggregate for research and development relating to our Sites and for future site development and, if you ask us to, to send you promotional materials. In particular, we may use information gathered about you for the following purposes: to monitor interest in our range of products and to assist us in tailoring the content of our Sites to your needs by collecting information about your preferences through tracking of patterns of page views on our Sites; to create a profile relating to you to show you the content that might be of interest to you and to display the content according to your preferences; and, in circumstances where you have indicated that you wish to receive additional information, to send you information about us and promotional material about our products together with details of any offers we may have available from time to time.
Promotional and informational offers
With the permission of an online visitor, information submitted at the time of registration or submission may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by the Company, provided notice of this fact is made available online. If visitors object to such use for any reason, they may prevent that use, either by email request or by modifying the registration information provided. The Company uses reasonable efforts to maintain visitors’ information in a secure environment. If you have submitted personal information and want to change it or opt out, please get in touch with us as described below.
Disclosure of information
The Company will not disclose personal information that you provide on its Sites to any third parties other than to a Company agent except i) by the terms of this Privacy Policy, or ii) to comply with legal requirements such as a law, regulation, warrant, subpoena or court order, and iii) if you are reporting an adverse event/side effect, in which case the Company may be required to disclose such information to bodies such as but not limited to, Canadian and international regulatory authorities. Please note that any of these disclosures may involve the storage or processing of personal information outside of Canada and may therefore be subject to different privacy laws than those applicable in Canada, including laws that require the disclosure of personal information to governmental authorities under circumstances that are different than those that apply in Canada.

Cookies are small data files downloaded onto your computer when you visit a particular website. You can disable cookies by turning them off in your browser; however, some areas of the Sites may not function properly if you do so.
