Last Updated: May 2014
This is the Node Corp. (“Node”, “we” or “us”) website (the “Site”). Likewise, Node will protect your privacy through compliance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes the type of information we may collect from you or that you may provide to us when you visit our website. Your use of this website indicates your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use this website or any services available on or through this website.
Personal Information
This Node Privacy Policy is intended to comply with the requirements of the Canadian federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) or similar provincial legislation (collectively, “Privacy Laws”). Node may collect, use and disclose information about you that is regulated by one or more Privacy Laws (“Personal Information”). We will only collect Personal Information from you directly and not from third party sources. Personal Information may include your name, postal address, email address, company name and telephone number.
We may collect Personal Information from you if you request information from us, order goods or services from us, or sign up to join any email list that we offer. The Personal Information we collect may be used to improve our Site, to notify you of updates to our Site or any products or services we offer, to respond to visitor inquiries, to carry out our obligations and enforce our rights, and to fulfill any other purpose for which you provide your Personal Information to us.
If you supply us with your postal or email address, we will use it only to send you the information you request at the time you provide your address to us. Your Personal Information will not be sold or provided to third parties. We will seek to obtain written or active email consent from you if we intend to use your Personal Information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection.
Non-Personal Information
In some cases, we may collect information about your online access to our Site by automated means, such as cookies and web beacons. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a user’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the user’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server. Information we collect using automated means may include, for example, your IP address, the domain name of the website or the advertisement which referred you to our Site (for example, google.com, if you connected to our Site from a Google search), information on actions you take on our website, dates and times of your visits to our website, and whether marketing emails have been received and read. This information is used solely for internal review of the use of our Site and services and is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes.
Information We Share
In order to improve our business, we may buy or sell a company, or one or more of the companies in our corporate family may merge with or be acquired by another company. If we sell a business, we may transfer some or all of your Personal Information as a part of the sale. In the event we transfer any of your Personal Information in connection with such a sale, we will post a notice on our Site and we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the purchaser treats your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and honors your opt-out requests, if any.
We may transfer your Personal Information to our contractors, service providers and other third parties we use to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep Personal Information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. We may also use or disclose your Personal Information without your consent when we are permitted by Canadian law to do so or when we believe it is necessary and appropriate to comply with applicable laws, court orders, subpoenas or other legal requirements. Lastly, we may use or disclose your Personal Information to protect the rights, property or safety of Node, our employees, customers, website visitors, or others, such as in the course of an investigation into potentially fraudulent or other illegal activities or where a contract between us and a third party is being breached.
Other than as set forth above, we will not share or sell your Personal Information to any outside organization without your written or electronically-indicated consent.
