General Disclosure
This Site is hosted in Canada. If you are visiting this Site from outside of Canada, please note that by providing your information it is being transferred to, stored or processed in Canada, where our data center and servers are located and operated, except as indicated elsewhere in this Policy. The data protection and other laws of Canada and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country of residence. By using our Site, you understand that your information will be transferred to our data center and servers in Canada and to third parties with whom we may share your personal information. If you are visiting this Site from outside Canada and do not wish to allow the transfer of your personal information Canada, you should not use this Site and opt-out of the use of cookies.
We take your privacy and the protection of your personal information seriously. We will only store, process, and disclose your personal information where we have your consent or a legitimate interest and in accordance with applicable law. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it. We do our best to protect your privacy through the appropriate use of information security measures.
Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Personal Information
We collect and store your name, postal or zip code, email address, or mobile telephone number if you voluntarily supply this information to us when you subscribe to our email list. Your email address is stored on the email list server and can only be accessed by the site administrators, including those who help manage these lists. This information is used to provide you with access to Site content, and to allow us to contact you with updates (if you have indicated you would like to receive such updates via email, SMS, or social media platforms) and to let you know about campaign updates.
Your postal or zip code allows us to match you to your local constituency, so we can identify your local elected and non-elected government officials, and to facilitate contact.
Also, some information is collected automatically from you when you use the Site. For example, we collect and use data contained in log files which include: your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), the browser you used to access the Site, the time you visited the Site, and the pages you visited throughout the Site, such collection and use being a standard practice on almost every website. We use Google Analytics, a third-party provider, to obtain this data. We use this information to better understand how you and other visitors use the Site, and to improve the Site to better meet your needs. The amount of information that is sent by your web browser depends upon the browser and settings you use. Please refer to the instructions provided by your browser if you want to learn more about what information it sends to websites you visit, or how you may change or restrict this.
As previously mentioned, we use Google Analytics, a third-party provider, to obtain certain data. The information collected through Google Analytics is shared with Google and its partners who may combine it with other information you’ve provided to them or they’ve collected from your use of their services. This information will be stored in Google’s servers in the United States of America or Canada according to Google’s privacy practices and policies.
We may use cookies to help you manage your use of our Site, and to understand and save your preferences for future visits. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
We do not sell or transfer your personal information to any third parties. However, we may share personal information with our agents who assist us in operating this Site, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to strict non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements.
We may share your personal information with CABC’s successor-in-interest in the event of the sale, assignment, merger, or other transfer of all or a portion of CABC or its assets to such entity (including due to a sale in connection with a bankruptcy or dissolution). We will require any such purchaser, assignee, or other successor to honor the terms of this privacy statement.
We may disclose personal information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating any agreement with us, or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other Site users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose information in response to a subpoena, search warrant, in connection with judicial proceedings, or pursuant to court orders, legal process, or other law enforcement measures. We may disclose or access personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, to establish our legal rights or to defend against legal claims, and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.
Social Media
If you share material from the Site on social media, you are advised that we do not control how your personal information is collected, stored or used by such third-party social media platforms or websites, or to whom it is disclosed. You should review the privacy policies and settings on any social networking platform or website that you subscribe to so that you understand the information they may be collecting and sharing. If you do not want your social networking sites to share information about you, you must contact that particular social media platform website and determine whether it gives you the opportunity to opt-out of sharing such information. We are not responsible for how these third-party social media platforms or websites may use information collected from or about you.

Retention Of Personal Information
We may keep a record of your personal information, including correspondence or comments, in the applicable file specific to you. We will utilize, disclose, or retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and for legal or business requirements. When personal information is retained to make a decision about you, we will retain such information for the period required in order to comply with our internal compliance and data retention policies.
Security Safeguards
The security of the personal information you provide to us is very important to us. As such, we do our best to ensure your information remains secure, and we maintain technical and procedural safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information in question. The Site stores your information on Canadian servers.
However, you understand and acknowledge that there are inherent risks of providing information online, and that no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. Although we make every commercially reasonable effort to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Third-party Links
Please note that any links to third-party websites on this Site are not bound by this Privacy Policy. Any such third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies that may be different from our own. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. As such, if you wish to know more about their privacy policies, please visit their websites and review their privacy policies.
Response To “Do Not Track” Signals
Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because uniform standards for “Do Not Track” signals have not yet been adopted, the CABC does not process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) Compliance And Related Information
The U.S. federal Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (“COPPA”) regulates online collection of information from persons under the age of 13. It is our policy to refrain from knowingly collecting or maintaining personally identifiable data relating to any person under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not supply any personally identifiable data through the Site. If you are under the age of 18 and have already provided personally identifiable data through the Site, please have your parent or guardian contact us immediately at info@cabc.co so we can remove such information from our files.

Changes To The Privacy Policy
The CABC may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time as we add new features and services, as laws change, and as industry privacy and security best practices evolve. We display an effective date on this Privacy Policy at the top of this Privacy Policy so it will be easier for you to know when there has been a change. Changes will apply to information collected after the change is effective. Please check this Privacy Policy periodically for changes. Small changes or changes that do not significantly affect individual privacy interests may be made at any time and without prior notice. Your use of the Site constitutes acceptance of the provisions of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service, and your continued usage after such changes are posted constitutes acceptance of each revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy or any revised Privacy Policy, please exit the Site immediately.
Interpretation of this Privacy Policy
Any interpretation associated with this Privacy Policy will be made by us. This Privacy Policy includes examples but is not intended to be restricted in its application to such examples; therefore, where the word “including” is used, it shall mean “including without limitation.”
This Privacy Policy does not create or confer upon any individual any rights or impose upon the Canadian American Business Council any obligations outside of, or in addition to, any rights or obligations imposed by Canada’s federal and provincial privacy laws, or the United States of America’s federal and state privacy laws, as applicable.
