How We Share Your Information

Personally Identifiable Information: TheJ.ca will not rent or sell your personally identifiable information to others. TheJ.ca may share your personally identifiable information with third parties for the purpose of providing TheJ.ca services to you. If we do this, such third parties’ use of your information will be bound by this Privacy Policy. We may store personal information in locations outside the direct control of TheJ.ca (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers).

Any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose for posting to TheJ.ca, such as user content, becomes available to the public, as controlled by any applicable privacy or website customization settings. If you remove information that you posted to TheJ.ca, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or if other users have copied or saved that information.

Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, TheJ.ca will not disclose personal information to any third party unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) to enforce this policy, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our site; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of TheJ.ca, our users or others.

How We Protect Your Information

TheJ.ca cares about the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to TheJ.ca or guarantee that your information on the service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes to the functionality of third-party providers, such as social networks. TheJ.ca is not responsible for the functionality or security measures of any third party.

To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your account. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from TheJ.ca, at all times.

Compromise of Personal Information

In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, TheJ.ca will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Your Choices About Your Information

You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through TheJ.ca, in which case TheJ.ca may not be able to provide certain services to you. You can review and correct the information about you that TheJ.ca keeps on file by contacting us directly at Info@TheJ.ca.

Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, TheJ.ca does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register for TheJ.ca accounts. If you are under 13, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at Info@TheJ.ca.

Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including those that have a link on our website, is subject to that website’s own rules and policies.

It is our policy to provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on TheJ.ca, as determined by TheJ.ca in its sole discretion. We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Privacy Policy.
