PRIVACY POLICY

DAWCO owns and operates this website and respects the privacy of all visitors to its website. All personal information provided will be used by our company only and will not be shared with any outside entity unless prior permission has been obtained. Your personal information will not be sold, distributed or published in any way whatsoever.

WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED?

Information collected online is generally classified as either anonymous or personally identifiable.

Examples of anonymous information would include statistics (e.g., 3,000 people visited our website in the last month), because they cannot be linked to an identifiable individual and do not necessarily provide information such as name, address or date of birth.

Examples of personally identifiable information would include your name, email address and phone number. DAWCO will only collect this personally identifiable information to ensure efficient communications with you and to make it easier for you to use the website. You alone decide what personal information you choose to disclose.

Each time you visit a website, certain information, such as the URL of the page or the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the computer you are using may be collected by the Webmaster. This is also true of the DAWCO website.

To access our site and use certain features and services available on the site, we may assign cookies to your Internet browser. A cookie is a small text file that contains a unique identification number stored on your computer. This unique identification number automatically identifies your browser to our servers. When you agree to provide personally identifiable information, we may assign cookies that personally identify you to our servers. For more information, see our cookie policy here.

WHO COLLECTS THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE?

The data is collected by DAWCO. As explained above, some sections of the website collect anonymous data. Meanwhile, other sections require you to register or log in before accessing a specific field. If you choose to visit these sections, personally identifiable information that specifically identifies you will automatically be stored. Again, as mentioned before, your personal information will not be sold, distributed or published in any way whatsoever.

WHAT DOES DAWCO DO WITH THE ANONYMOUS INFORMATION?

DAWCO strives to improve its communication with all stakeholders. Thus, the anonymous information we collect helps us to improve the content of our website and ensure that this content is always useful to users.

WHAT DOES DAWCO DO WITH THE PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION?

Users always have the option not to provide personally identifiable information. Such a choice may prevent access to specific features of the website. If users choose to provide personally identifiable information, DAWCO will use it to improve website access, content and layout. DAWCO might also use this information to correct technical problems or resolve disputes.

WHAT KIND INFORMATION WILL DAWCO DISTRIBUTE?

DAWCO will not release personally identifiable information. This information will not be sold, distributed or published in any way whatsoever. When using the website, you will be required to choose a user name and a password. It is your responsibility to protect the confidentially of both. If you allow another person to access DAWCO’s website with your username and password, you accept responsibility for all activity undertaken in your name. In such a case, DAWCO cannot guarantee that the personally identifiable information you submit will remain confidential. In any case, you always have the option of changing your password. Despite using the latest hardware and software designed to protect your privacy, DAWCO cannot guarantee that the personally identifiable information you submit will remain confidential. If you have any questions, please contact us.

When required by law, DAWCO may be required to release personally identifiable information to third parties such as law enforcement agencies, pursuant to subpoenas or other court orders. When asked to do so, DAWCO may also share personally identifiable information in connection with investigations regarding allegations of fraud or other unlawful activities, as well as violations of DAWCO’s terms and conditions. In such cases, DAWCO has no obligation to notify the user.

RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION  

DAWCO retains your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with applicable retention periods. Your personal information is kept in Quebec. It is possible, however, that the communication of your personal information to certain suppliers may result in the transfer of such information outside Quebec. In such cases, DAWCO will first validate the privacy laws and practices applicable in the jurisdictions concerned and will apply the necessary safeguards to ensure adequate protection of your personal information.  

When your personal information is no longer required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, DAWCO will destroy it using a process that maintains its confidentiality.  

OTHER ASPECTS OF THE PRIVACY POLICY

DAWCO reserves the right to use personally identifiable information for any lawful purpose, including but not limited to recruitment, marketing, and analysis.

DAWCO may send alerts or confirmations to users of its website. DAWCO retains this right to inform users of changes that may affect their use of the website.

DAWCO’s website provides links to other websites. DAWCO is not responsible for the privacy of other sites.
