Privacy Policy

Resources For Canadian Business Owners Inc. is the owner of this website.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines our practices for handling personal information.

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site.

Your access to and control over information

You may request to view, change, correct, or delete any data we have about you and your organization.

If you have an account on this site or have left comments on a blog, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data that we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data, specifically the Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates – latitude, longitude, and altitude – stored as metadata within the image file’s Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) data. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Cookies

If you visit our login page or register, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles (blogs) on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, PDFs, and zip files. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited other websites.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email sent for the password reset.

How long is your data retained?

If you leave a comment on a blog, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except that you cannot change your username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Updates to this Policy

If we make significant changes to our data handling practices, we will post a notice on our website and make reasonable efforts to notify our clients, such as through an administrative email or other notice. If the change involves using your personally identifiable information, the notice will contain instructions on how to opt out of such use.

This privacy policy will be governed by the laws of Canada and the Province of Ontario. If you have any questions about our privacy policy or believe we are not adhering to it, please contact us immediately by telephone or email.
