1. Information we collect

We collect different categories of personal information about you from different sources, including information you provide us directly, usage information about your visits to our Sites and information provided by third parties.

Information Provided By You or Third Parties

We collect information you provide to us directly when you use our Sites. This includes:

Account Information: To create an account, we collect your username, email address and/or telephone number, and password. For some Sites you may be required to provide additional information such as your date of birth, gender, age or other personal information. We collect additional information that you choose to add to your account or public user profile, such as a profile picture or information about your hobbies, interests, activities or property (such as the type of vehicle you own). Your username is public, and other account information may be public depending on how your account profile is configured.
Transactional information: We may collect your name, contact information, and payment card information when you purchase a product or service through our Site (such as a subscription or classified advertisement). Payments are processed by third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe and Braintree), so please refer to the applicable processor’s terms and privacy policy for more information about how payment information is processed and stored.
Third-Party Networks: If you use a third-party network (including a social media account) to create an account on our Site, to log in to our Site, or if you otherwise interact with a third-party network through our Site (such as by using a plug-in), we will receive personal information from the third party network, such as your username, email address, gender, public profile information and any other information that you have agreed to share with us, whether explicitly or through your privacy settings. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party networks for information about their practices.
The content you submit: Our Site may offer public forums or communication platforms that allow you to communicate with other users, post information, content, images, photos, or videos, post your opinions on surveys, or submit reviews or ratings (collectively, your “Content”). Your Content will be associated with your public user profile. Your Content and public user profile are public, unencrypted, and non-confidential. This means that it can be read and used by others, including advertisers. We are not responsible for the information you choose to submit in these public areas. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information in public areas of our Site. We strongly recommend against sharing any personal sensitive information that could directly or indirectly be traced to any individual, including yourself.
Other information: We may collect personal information with your consent, where required or permitted by law, or when you choose to provide other information directly to us. For example, we may collect information when you fill out a form, participate in a survey, poll, contest, or promotion, apply for a job, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you use or access our Sites, we may also automatically collect information about you. This includes:

Geographic Location: We collect geographical location information if the Site you are using is location-enabled and your device transmits location data and/or your IP address. This enables us to provide location-specific information to you.
Usage Data: We may log information when you access and use our Sites. This may include your IP address, user-agent string, browser type, operating system, referral URLs, device information (e.g., device IDs), pages visited, links clicked, the requested URL, hardware settings, and search terms. See Cookies, tracking technologies, and interest-based advertising below.
Information collected from cookies and similar technologies: We, our service providers, and third-party advertising partners also collect information about users of the Sites automatically using cookies and other tracking technologies. See Cookies, tracking technologies, and interest-based advertising below.

3. Cookies, tracking technologies, and interest-based advertising

We, our service providers, and third-party advertising partners use technologies that automatically collect information about Site visitors and their visits to the Sites, including as described below.

We automatically collect information about how you access, navigate and leave our Site, including the website you came from before visiting our Site, what browser type and operating system you are using, the internet protocol (IP) address you are accessing the Site from, your mobile device ID or Advertising ID if you visit our Site from a mobile device, the pages of our Site that you are navigating through, the date and time of your visit, how long you spend on our Site or certain pages of our Site, and what website you go to after visiting our Site. This information may be used to determine how many visitors visit our Site or certain areas of our Site, how long they remain on our Site, whether they use the hyperlinks we provide or respond to advertising and to tailor our advertisements to you. We may share this information with partners who referred you to our Site, and with advertising partners, who may use the information to optimize the traffic they send to us and for delivering targeted ads to you when you visit other websites.

We, our service providers, and third-party advertising partners collect information about Site visitors using cookies and other tracking technologies (including browser cookies, pixels, and Adobe Flash). We use these technologies to remember your preferences and facilitate your navigation of our Site. We and our service providers and third-party advertising partners also use these technologies to track your activities on our Site and other websites, including the websites and web pages that you visited, the ads or content that you clicked on, any items you may have purchased and the search terms you used, in order to deliver tailored advertising to you. We may also share a unique identifier linked to you (such as a hashed or encrypted version of your email address or telephone number) with advertising partners so that you may be served with tailored advertising on our websites or other third-party websites. However, you may opt out of network advertising programs that track your activities across multiple websites to deliver personalized advertising content to you by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada Opt-Out Page, Your Online Choices from the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, NAI Opt-Out Page, and the Ad Choices Opt-Out Page.

If you would prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers will allow you to: (i) change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) set your browser to automatically reject any cookies. You may also set your e-mail options to prevent the automatic downloading of images that may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether you have accessed our e-mail and performed certain functions with it. See Your Choices below for information about your choices about how we use and share your information.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our Site visitors use the Site, as well as certain features of Google Analytics Display Advertising to advertise online, sell advertising, and develop content. You can opt out of your usage data being included in our reports from Google Analytics and customize Google’s Display Network ads. Please visit Google’s Ad Settings and Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Please visit How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps for a description of how Google uses information sent by our browser and for ways you can control the information sent to Google.

Most modern web browsers provide the option to send a “do not track” signal to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. At this time, there is no generally accepted standard for how a website should respond to this signal, and we do not take any action in response to this signal. Our third-party partners, such as web analytics companies and third-party ad networks, collect information about your online activities over time and across the Sites and other online properties. These third parties may not change their tracking practices in response to “do not track” settings in your web browser and we do not obligate these parties to honor “do not track” settings.

4. How we share your information

We may share information we collect about you in the following circumstances.

Advertising partners

We share information with our third-party advertising partners as described in the Cookies, tracking technologies, and interest-based advertising section above.

Service Providers

We may use service providers (including affiliates acting in this capacity) to provide services to us or to you on our behalf. For example, our service providers may host our Site, analyze data collected from our Site, provide customer service on our behalf, administer our promotions, facilitate and process transactions and payments, provide marketing or promotional assistance, distribute emails and other communications, post our advertisements (including online through targeted advertising campaigns), and collect your feedback on our Site and advertisements. We share your personal information with our service providers solely for the purposes of providing services to you and to us. They are not permitted to use your personal information for other purposes. Some of our service providers are located outside of Canada, including in the United States. While your personal information is located outside of Canada, it will be subject to legal requirements applicable to our service providers, for example, lawful requirements to disclose personal information to national security agencies or government authorities in certain circumstances. For EU residents, see Users from the European Union section below.

Aggregate or de-identified information

We may use your personal information to create aggregate statistics and de-identified data. We may use, share and sell this information for any purpose.

With your consent

We may share your personal information with third parties with your consent. For example, if you provide us with your contact information, such as an e-mail address, for the purposes of signing up for information, newsletters, contests, or marketing offers from a third party, or for receiving business offers or service quotes from a third party, we may share your personal information for that purpose. Once shared, your personal information will be subject to the privacy policy of that third party.

Business Transactions

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in connection with the proposed or actual financing, securitization, insuring, merger, sale, assignment, or another disposal of all or part of timezone365 or our business or assets. These third parties may use the information for the purposes of evaluating and/or completing the proposed transaction and thereafter as a successor of our interests.

Other

We may disclose your personal information in other circumstances where permitted or required by law or another legal process. For example, we may disclose your personal information: (a) to collect a debt owed to us; (b) as necessary to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or other legal processes; (c) if the disclosure is requested by an investigatory body, law enforcement official or governmental authority which has lawful authority to request the disclosure of the information in respect of an investigation or other legal process; or (d) if we have reasonable grounds to believe that the information relates to a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or to protect the personal safety of our users or defend our rights or property.

5. How we store and protect personal information

The security of your information is important to us. While we have implemented safeguards to protect the information we collect, no website or internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot and do not guarantee the security of your personal information. We urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe, such as choosing a strong password and keeping it private, as well as logging out of your user account, and closing your web browser when you have finished using a Site on a shared or unsecured device.

We maintain personal information on our servers (or those of our service providers). Certain accounts you create on our Sites are password protected. If you create an account on the Site, you are responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your account password, and you shall be responsible for any activity that occurs using your account credentials, whether or not you authorized such activity. Please notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security. In identified parts of our Sites, we use SSL encryption in an effort to protect data transmissions. Our policy is to limit access to sensitive personal information to employees, representatives, and service providers who require access in connection with their job or service responsibilities.

If you correspond with us by email, text message, or using web forms like a “contact us” feature on the Sites, you should be aware that your transmission might not be secure or considered confidential. A third party could view the information you send in transit by such means or we could disclose the information you send in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We will have no liability for disclosure of your information, including due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission.

6. Links to external content

Our Site may link or direct you to other websites, services, or external content provided by third parties. We do not exercise any control over these third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third-party websites or services. We recommend that you read the privacy policy for any third-party website that you visit or service that you use.

7. Children

Our Sites are not directed to and we do not knowingly request or collect personal information from children – persons under 13 years of age, or another age if required by applicable law – without prior verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personal information about a child without verifiable parental consent, we will delete this information from our records or, if that is not reasonable, we will take reasonable available steps to de-identify the information.

8. Accessing or correcting your personal information

We encourage you to keep your personal information accurate and up to date. If you have an account with us, you can access and correct certain of the information in your account or public user profile by logging in to your account or profile and making the necessary edits.

You may request access to or correction of your personal information in our custody or control by contacting us as set out below. We may take reasonable steps to authenticate your identity before providing you with access to your personal information or making corrections. Please also note that in some cases we may not be able to provide you with the personal information you have requested (for example, if the information is subject to solicitor-client privilege or contains personal information of others that cannot be severed).
