Tekclick Website Privacy Details
It is important to protect your privacy in the online
world, and to insist that the Web sites you deal with
respect your privacy.
The technology that enables the Internet is constantly
changing, but the good news is that standards for privacy
continue to rise. Tekclick is committed
to upholding and defending your privacy rights, whether
online or offline, and helping organizations that are
subject to federal privacy laws in Canada respect your
privacy rights and honour their obligations to you.
The following summarizes our privacy policy and
information practices for this Web site. It is intended to
provide you with a complete and accurate basis for making
informed decisions when choosing to communicate with Tekclick via
this site.
During a visit to our Web site, your privacy is
respected. We do not collect personal information about you
unless you choose to send us an e-mail or submit a website
form where you submit information in which you voluntarily
provide your name and contact information. The nature of the
Internet is such that it passively and automatically
collects certain information about a user's traffic
patterns, linked to their Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
These are unique Internet "addresses" assigned to all Web
users by their Internet Service Providers (ISP). IP
addresses are automatically logged by Web servers. While the
IP address does not identify an individual on its face, it
may with the cooperation of the ISP be used to locate and
identify an individual using the Web. The IP address is
considered personal information because it is an identifying
number, and IP addresses are therefore protected by most
privacy legislation. The privacy issues surrounding IP
addresses are explained further below.
Visitors' personal information received via e-mail is
provided only to our Office personnel, who require the
information to respond to inquiries. We do not use this
information for any other purpose. We protect all personal
information in our custody with strong security safeguards,
including strict access controls.
Server logs: Our servers automatically log information
about visits to our Web site in the normal course of
establishing and maintaining Web connections. Server logs
record statistical information, such as visitors' IP
addresses, type of operating systems, time and duration of
visit, Web pages requested, and identify categories of
visitors by items such as domains and browser types. These
statistics are reported in aggregate form to our Web and
communications staff, and are used to improve our Web site
and ensure that it provides the optimal Web experience for
visitors.
Cookies: Our site makes use of "per-session" cookies.
Cookies are small text files offered to your computer by Web
servers in order to keep track of your browser as you
navigate the site. Unlike "persistent" cookies, which are
stored on your hard drive and can last for years, even
decades, "per-session" cookies are stored only in your
browser's temporary (cache) memory and are deleted when you
shut down your browser.
Here is how our session cookies work: Each time you visit
our site, our Web server offers your browser a temporary
session cookie containing only a randomly generated
alphanumeric string. As you navigate the site, this unique
alphanumeric text string is read back to our Web server,
allowing us to generate an anonymous "click trail" profile
of your visit. From the aggregated information on unique
visits, we learn how visitors interact with our site, how we
can improve our site design and content, and how to improve
visitors' experiences.
NOTE: Visiting our Web site with cookies disabled will
have no significant impact on your browsing experience. You
can set your browser to detect and reject cookies. Please
consult your browser's Help Menu for instructions.
Other sites to which we provide links may be governed by
different policies. Tekclick does not assume responsibility for
the information practices of these other Web sites, and we
strongly encourage all Web visitors to review the privacy
policies and statements of all externally linked sites.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Tekclick may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to
reflect company and customer feedback or changes to privacy
legislation. You are welcome to revisit this Privacy Policy
at any time.
