3. Online Advertising

We may use Google AdWords Remarketing to advertise experienceboarding.ca across the Internet. AdWords remarketing will display relevant ads tailored to you based on what parts of the Site you have viewed by placing a cookie on your machine. This cookie does not in anyway identify you or give anyone access to your computer. The cookie is used to say "This person visited this page, so show them ads relating to that page."

5. Information submited to schools when you request information

This is intended only to provide generalized, relevant information for our clients, and is provided by users with their consent. If you submit information, you can have it removed by submitting a request to Our Kids Publications at [email protected].

6. Information Use and Disclosure

(a) Internal Use. We use your personal information to provide you with customer service. We may internally use your personal information to improve the Sites' content and layout, to improve outreach and for our own marketing efforts (including marketing our services and resources to you), and to determine general marketplace information about visitors to the Site.

(b) Communications with You: We will use your personal information to communicate with you about the Site. We may send you a service-related announcement on the rare occasions when it is necessary.

DATA SECURITY

All data is stored securely on our servers, using appropriate measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of data used by our system.

When Our Kids Publications sends you emails, we may use tracking, cookies or a web beacon or these may be part of third party software we employ in bulk emailing. These only allow us to determine the number of people who open our emails and where traffic moves within our site. When you click on a link in an email, we may record this single response.

All of these identifiers collect very limited information that helps us with our marketing initiatives and is likely to include no more than the time and date of a page being viewed and the name and location (url) of the page on which the Web Beacon resides.

If you are concerned about this, you can disable identifiers by disabling HTML images or refusing HTML (use Text only) emails via your email software.

While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee complete security. 100% complete security does not presently exist anywhere online or offline. If you have submitted data that is controlled by Our Kids, be assured that we take reasonable measures to comply with GDPR stipulations concerning the reporting of data breaches, especially those concerning submitted personal information.

OPT OUT/CORRECTIONS

Upon your request, we will (a) correct or update your personal information and/or (b) stop sending emails to your email address. If you have submitted personal information to experienceboarding.ca you can request that we delete it. You can make these requests by telephoning, or emailing your request to Our Kids Publications at [email protected].

OFFLINE COLLECTION, USE & DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

As you might expect from us, the majority of information that we collect is obtained through the Site, and this Privacy Policy applies only to that online collection of personal information. We also may collect information offline, where we also try to treat offline collection, uses, and disclosures consistently with our relevant online practices.

UPDATES TO THIS POLICY

If we change or update this Privacy Policy, we will post changes and updates on the Site so that you will always be aware of what information we collect, use and disclose.
