Your Folks- Privacy statement
J. T. Recherches inc., operator
of this Website (the site ),
recognizes
the confidentiality of information that may be disclosed by its members in
registering or making purchases from our Website and we are firmly committed to protecting your
privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this
Website.
Overview
The personal, private information
that is provided to J. T. Recherches, Inc. by individual members is not provided to unrelated third parties, except to
our payment server and in rare cases involving possible violations of
our use policies, legal statutes, or other laws. We do
collect some data, always with your knowledge and consent, that is used
to fulfill orders.
Information passed to our payment server is only for
payment processing purposes and the organization operating that server has a
commitment not to use it for any other purpose.
Demographic information collected through on-site user surveys may
be used in aggregate statistical form to attract potential sponsors.
Consent
Unless
permitted by law, no personal information is collected, without first obtaining your consent to the
collection, use and dissemination of that information. However, we may seek consent
to use and disclose personal information after it has
been collected in those cases where we wish to
use the information for a new or different purpose where you have not
already consented to such a use of your personal information.
By providing
personal information on this Website, you agree and consent that we may collect, use
and disclose your personal information in accordance with this policy. In
addition, where appropriate, specific authorizations or consents
may be obtained from time to time.
In most cases, and
subject to legal and contractual restrictions, you are free to refuse or
withdraw your consent at any time, upon reasonable advance notice. Note that in certain
circumstances, products
or services can only be offered or provided if you provide personal information.
Consequently, if you choose not provide us with any required personal
information, we may not be able to offer or provide the
products
or services requested
.
Some of
the specifics of our Privacy Policy are best described in
the answers to the following questions:
Does Your Folks ask for personal information?
Yes. Your Folks asks for some personal information when you sign-up as
a member, or when you make
a purchase (for example, buying a subscription). We may ask for
similar information at other times, such as when you enter contests
or other promotions sponsored by Your Folks and/or our many partners.
When you use your credit card for
a payment, you give yourself your credit card number to our payment
server: so, Your Folks has no knowledge of that information.
How does Your Folks use my personal
information?
Our goal is to provide you with the
most personalized, relevant, user-friendly Web experience possible. The primary
use of all your personal information is to efficiently provide you
with relevant information or services.
Your Folks will also use registration information to let you know about
new features or other offers of interest from Your Folks, or to address customer
service needs and requests.
Your Folks does not sell, rent or otherwise
distribute personal information you provide us.
Will Your Folks
disclose any of my personal information to
third parties?
Your Folks will not disclose any of your personal
information, except with your knowledge and consent, or as described in this
policy or as may be required by law, or to protect the rights or property of
Your Folks.
Other circumstances where limited
personal information may be disclosed are specifically described when the data is collected,
or in the rules of contests or other promotions. So,
in all cases you control what, if any, information you disclose.
Your Folks reserves the right
to disclose aggregated user statistics, such as « 50 % of our members are women» or
« 50 % of our members attend college», in order to describe our services
to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties.
Additionally,
if you click away from Your Folks to visit the site of
any third party advertiser or sponsor, you may be asked for your
credit card or other personal information in order to purchase or
use products and services offered. These companies have their own privacy and
data collection practices. Your Folks has no responsibility or liability
for these independent policies. You should therefore review their
privacy policies carefully if you have concerns about how your information may
be used.
Where does Your Folks keep my information?
Currently, Your Folks holds personal information
in the province of Quebec, in Canada, where our hosting and storage facilities are located.
Will Your
Folks use my information for direct mailings?
Your Folks will send electronic mail
to you, for the purpose of informing you of changes or additions to
Your Folks, or of any related products and services.
May I refuse to provide personal information to
Your Folks?
Visitors may sign-up as Your Folks members by providing only their email
address and selecting a username and a password. To get more services, they must
also give information necessary to the payment process.
How does Your Folks protect my information?
Your Folks and its internet service provider
endeavour to maintain appropriate physical, procedural and technical security with
respect to its offices and information storage facilities, so as to prevent
any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of personal
information. This also applies to our disposal or destruction of
personal information
.
Your Folks further protects personal information by restricting
access to it to those of our personnel who have a need to
know that information in order that we may provide our products or
services.
May I access and review my
personal information held by Your Folks?
Your Folks permits the reasonable right of access and review of your personal
information held by us by allowing you to access account information via the
"My Account" section of
our site as well as on every purchase.
Does Your Folks use "IP Addresses" ?
We do not use your IP address and we do not keep
it anywhere.
Cookies and Your Folks
Contrary
to popular myth, cookies do not extract private or personal information from
your computer’s memory. Their only use by Your Folks is to allow
you a continuous workflow during a session with Your Folks. They
are destroyed as soon as that session is over.
Contests and Promotions
Your Folks may occasionally run contests or other special promotions in
which we ask members or visitors for contact information (like an
email address) or demographic information (like a zip code, age, or
income level). We use this data to send you promotional material about
our company or our partners. Your contact information is also used to
contact you when necessary and may be shared with other companies
for promotional purposes, but only with your prior permission
and under the terms and conditions specified when you take part in the
promotion.
