Information Gathered through the Barrhaven Auto Centre Sites Barrhaven Auto Centre will track the domains from which people visit the Barrhaven Auto Centre Sites in order to gain aggregate data that may be analyzed for trends and statistics. Subject to the provisions of this Privacy Statement, Barrhaven Auto Centre may use accumulated aggregate data for several purposes including, but not limited to, marketing analysis, evaluation of Barrhaven Auto Centre's services, and business planning. Currently, Barrhaven Auto Centre uses personal information as a basis for notifications to users, and in order to implement the Terms and Conditions of Use governing the Barrhaven Auto Centre Sites (the "Terms"). Generally, the usernames, e-mail addresses, and any additional information that a user may choose to post are publicly available on the Barrhaven Auto Centre Sites. When users voluntarily and publicly disclose personal information that may contain Registration Data, as defined in the Terms, or otherwise post personal information in conjunction with content subject to a license, such personal information necessarily will be disclosed subject to the terms of the applicable license. An example of such a disclosure includes, but is not limited to, a user's disclosure of personal information as part of a message posted to a public message forum, or a publicly-released software application. Barrhaven Auto Centre may conduct surveys or other studies of its user base and usage for marketing and planning purposes. Participation in such surveys is at the user's option, but Barrhaven Auto Centre does reserve the right to conduct mandatory surveys in the future. With respect to information collected from such surveys or studies, and in the event that responses are to be publicly disclosed, users will be notified at the time they take the survey and Barrhaven Auto Centre will disclose only aggregate information regarding its users and not personal information identifying any specific individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases where surveys allow users to submit written comments, and where Barrhaven Auto Centre advises users of the possibility of such disclosure at the time they take the survey, Barrhaven Auto Centre reserves the right to disclose text information provided by any user through such a survey, provided that no personal information identifying that user is disclosed. Circumstances under which Barrhaven Auto Centre would publicly disclose aggregate information include, but are not limited to, sharing survey results with the site population, providing data to Barrhaven Auto Centre advertisers on user preferences and/or demographics, business planning, and publicizing overall usage data in press communications. Cookies Barrhaven Auto Centre employs "cookies" to provide users with tailored information. A "cookie" is an element of data that a Web site, when visited by a user, sends to that user's browser which, in turn, may store that element on the user's hard drive or memory. Barrhaven Auto Centre uses cookies to better serve users of our Barrhaven Auto Centre Sites; any cookies sent by Barrhaven Auto Centre will be marked so that they will be accessible only by Barrhaven Auto Centre Sites subject to this Privacy Statement. However, at his or her option and at his or her sole expense and responsibility, any user may block or delete our cookies from his or her hard drive. However, by disabling cookies, certain site features and functionality may no longer work properly, or at all. Other Notification In order to implement or enforce the Terms, Barrhaven Auto Centre may use user-provided e-mail addresses to contact users on an individual basis. At no time, unless such disclosure is required by law, a governmental agency, or specifically authorized by the user, will Barrhaven Auto Centre disclose individual user personal information to unrelated third parties that is not publicly available.

Choice "Opt-in" e-mails: Users may "opt-in" to receive site notifications, newsletters, or other information via e-mail. Users may remove themselves from such services at their discretion. Any e-mail sent to an "opt-in" list will include directions for how a user may remove himself or herself from the list, or a URL where the user may find such directions. Profile Display In some cases, users' personal information may be publicly available through a user's profile display. In such cases, users have the option to opt out of publicly displaying their personal information, including e-mail addresses. Users may also enlist this technique when posing comments on certain Barrhaven Auto Centre Sites. In cases where site profiles allow users to display optional information publicly, such entry and display is at the user's discretion and may be changed at any time by the user. E-mail Display In some cases, users may have the opportunity to use an Barrhaven Auto Centre Site to send electronic mail to another user or e-mail list. In such cases, a user's valid e-mail address and real name will be included with such messages. In order to prevent abuse, users may not opt-out of such a display, but may choose to refrain from using such Barrhaven Auto Centre Site to transmit an e-mail message.

When technically feasible, users are permitted to update their personal information directly through Barrhaven Auto Centre. When such updating service is not technically feasible, Barrhaven Auto Centre will make reasonable efforts to assist users in updating their personal information. Security To secure site integrity, Barrhaven Auto Centre employs measures, including but not limited to security audits, use of encryption tools and software, and other reasonable security measures and procedures. Internal access to users' private and nonpublic personal information is restricted to site administrators and individuals on a need-to-know basis. Enforcement In the event that Barrhaven Auto Centre becomes aware that site security is compromised or nonpublic user information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including but not limited to external security attacks, Barrhaven Auto Centre shall take reasonable measures which it deems appropriate, including but not limited to internal investigation and reporting, and notification to and cooperation with law enforcement authorities, notwithstanding other provisions of this Privacy Statement. If Barrhaven Auto Centre becomes aware that a user's personal information provided to Barrhaven Auto Centre has been disclosed in a manner not in accordance with this Privacy Statement, Barrhaven Auto Centre shall make reasonable efforts to notify the affected user, as soon as reasonably possible and as permitted by law, of what information has been disclosed, to the extent that Barrhaven Auto Centre knows this information. No Guarantees For Factors Beyond Barrhaven Auto Centre's Control While this Privacy Statement expresses Barrhaven Auto Centre's standards for maintenance of private data, it is not in a position to guarantee that the standards will always be met. There may be factors beyond Barrhaven Auto Centre's control (e.g., "script kiddies", "crackers and other malcontents") that may result in disclosure of data. As a consequence, Barrhaven Auto Centre disclaims any warranties or representations relating to maintenance or nondisclosure of private information. |
