During a User’s visit to the SLCAN Website or any other SLCAN Program, the User’s Internet Protocol address (“IP Address”) may be obtained by Us or by Our servers (or any third party servers that We engage) or cookies or other types of small temporary text files may be placed on the User’s computer processor or in the browser directory of the User’s hard drive (collectively “Cookies”). Like many other websites, the User’s IP Address or Cookies may be used during Your visit to any SLCAN Program in order to improve your individual experience as a User of that SLCAN Program or to generally improve or enhance the overall functionality of the SLCAN Website or other SLCAN Program. While most websites automatically accept Cookies for these purposes, You may be able to instruct your browser to stop accepting Cookies or prompt You before accepting a Cookie from the sites you visit, including the SLCAN Website. For purposes of this Policy, all of the foregoing described IP Address and Cookies are collectively defined as the “Unique Identifiers.”

4.1 In the event a User has provided SLCAN with Personal Information such as that discussed above, and thereafter a User does not want to continue to directly receive further notices, information or material from SLCAN regarding SLCAN Activities, the User must send an email message to sustainablelabscanada.ca, sustainablelabscanada.com, slcan.ca or slcan.com stating that the User no longer wants to receive these communications directly from SLCAN (“Opt Out”). Once SLCAN has received that User’s request to Opt Out, SLCAN will use commercially reasonable efforts, in a commercially reasonable time period, to try to carry out such User’s request to Opt Out; provided, however, SLCAN will not have any obligation to retrieve, and cannot prevent the further use by others of, such User’s personal identifiable information which may have been shared up to that time with other parties (such as with SLCAN Contractors, Industry Partners or Outside Professionals as defined above).

​4.2 If a User elect to Opt Out, and provided such User has properly delivered its Opt Out request to SLCAN in accordance with this Privacy Policy, such User will no longer receive emails directly from SLCAN after a commercially reasonable time from the date such User sent its Opt Out notice to SLCAN. However, SLCAN does not have any obligations under, or liability arising out of, this Privacy Policy with regard to: (a) a User’s decision to share its personal information with, our use of, any other internet websites, forums, or programs that the User may have linked to via the SLCAN Website or other SLCAN Programs which are not under SLCAN’s direct control and ownership; and (b) any other communications sent to a User by any party other than directly from SLCAN. Accordingly, after sending your Opt Out to SLCAN, you may need to contact these other entities directly regarding their use of Your personal information.

Each User confirms and agrees that by the User’s act of using any of the SLCAN Programs, including without limitation uploading any of the User’s personal information or any other content via any SLCAN Program, the User: (a) unconditionally agrees to all of the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy; and (b)further agrees that no provision of this Privacy Policy shall limit, condition, alter, or amend, in any way whatsoever, any rights that User may have separately granted to SLCAN pursuant to any other agreement that the User may have separately entered into with the SLCAN.

Users are solely responsible for correcting, updating, or modifying any and all of the User’s personal information as it appears in, and as otherwise stored or contained in, any SLCAN Program. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, User acknowledges and agrees that SLCAN has no duty to correct, update, modify or eliminate any of the User’s personal information as it appears in, is stored, or is otherwise contained in, the SLCAN Website or in any other SLCAN Program.

The SLCAN Website or other SLCAN Programs may now or in the future provide links or other access to Internet websites, forums or other programs which are not under SLCAN’s sole control and not solely owned by SLCAN (collectively referred to as “Third Party Sites”). If a User clicks on a link to, or otherwise gains access to, any such Third-Party Site, the User will be transported to one of these Third-Party Sites. THIS PRIVACY POLICY ONLY APPLIES TO THE SLCAN WEBSITE AND THE OTHER SLCAN PROGRAMS OWNED BY SLCAN. THEREFORE, THIS PRIVACY POLICY: (A) DOES NOT DESCRIBE THE PRIVACY POLICIES OF ANY OF THESE THIRD-PARTY SITES; AND (B) DOES NOT GOVERN THE COLLECTION OR USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION BY THE THIRD-PARTY SITES. SLCAN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIVACY PRACTICES OF ANY OF THESE THIRD-PARTY SITES. IF A USER CLICKS ON A LINK TO, OR IS SENT TO A LINK OF, OR OTHERWISE GAINS ACCESS TO, A THIRD PARTY SITE, THE USER SHOULD REVIEW THE PRIVACY STATEMENTS OR POLICIES OF SUCH THIRD PARTY SITES (IF ANY) TO DETERMINE THAT PARTICULAR THIRD PARTY SITES’ PRACTICES WITH REGARD TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, EACH USER AGREES THAT IF THE USER USES ANY THIRD PARTY SITES IN ANY WAY, THE USER IS AWARE THAT ANY OF THE USER’S PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT THE USER PROVIDES TO THAT THIRD PARTY SITE MIGHT BE READ, COLLECTED, SHARED, DISTRIBUTED, OR OTHERWISE USED BY OTHER USERS OF THAT THIRD PARTY SITE OR BY ANY OTHER THIRD PARTIES, AND COULD BE USED TO SEND THE USER UNSOLICITED MESSAGES. SLCAN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT THE USER ELECTS TO SUBMIT IN, OR OTHERWISE MAKE AVAILABLE TO, THESE THIRD-PARTY SITES.

Any link to any Third-Party Site from the SLCAN Website or any other SLCAN Program does not imply any endorsement of the privacy practices of such Third-Party Site by the SLCAN, and no such Third-Party Site is authorized to make any representation or warranty on our behalf.

Some browsers have a “DO NOT TRACK” feature that lets website users inform websites or other applications that they do not want to have their online activities tracked. These “do not track” features may also give website users other choices regarding the collection of their personal identifiable information. However, these “do not track” features and “do not track’ signals are not yet uniform. Accordingly, each User of the SLCAN Website or any other SLCAN Program is hereby notified that the SLCAN Website and the other SLCAN Programs are not currently set up to respond to any of the User’s “do not track” features or “do not track” signals.

This Privacy Policy may be changed from time to time and at any time by SLCAN. SLCAN reserves the right to change it without notice to a User. YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT YOU ARE BOUND BY THE VERSION OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY THAT IS IN EFFECT AT THE TIME YOU FIRST USE THE SLCAN WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER SLCAN PROGRAM. THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY MAY BE DIFFERENT THE NEXT TIME YOU USE THE SLCAN WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER SLCAN PROGRAM. ANY USE OF THE SLCAN WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER SLCAN PROGRAM BY YOU AFTER SUCH AMENDMENT(S) SHALL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE BY THE USER OF THE AMENDMENT(S) FOR USE OF ALL SLCAN PROGRAMS. EACH USER SHOULD REGULARLY REVIEW AND PRINT THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE USER’S RECORDS.

If a User believes that SLCAN is not complying with the policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, or if the User has any questions relating to this Privacy Policy, then the User should write to INFO AT slcan.ca.
