Effective Date: October 20, 2020.
P. Eng. Application Consulting (collectively, “us” or “we”) understand that your privacy is important to you. We are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your data, which is any information that is capable of identifying you as a person. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle and protect your data in connection with our business activities, like client services, and on websites, applications, and communications that post a link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, “the Sites”), in our capacity as data controllers.
Information we collect
We collect personal data in the course of our business activities, including in connection with some client services. We also collect personal data on certain areas of the Sites when you register for consulting services. The personal data collected varies and may include information that you provide, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, and background information required to retrieve your application.
We may also automatically collect information about the devices you use to interact with our Sites. The information we automatically collect may include IP address, device identifier, web browser, and browsing information collected through cookies, web beacons, pixels, clear gifs, and other similar technologies (collectively “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies”) on our Sites. We may also automatically collect information about how you use the Sites, such as what you have searched for and viewed on the Sites. The information automatically collected may be associated with a unique identifier as well as with any other personal data you have provided.
We may also collect personal data about you from third parties. This includes demographic, professional, and other information that is publicly available online, including information you choose to make public through social media platforms and other public online forums. We may combine this data with the existing information we have about you or use it independently, for our benchmarking and data analytics activities. We will always seek to confirm that the third party has provided transparent information about its use of this data, including its disclosure to third parties like us, in compliance with applicable law.
Use of information
We use your data to fulfill your requests for consulting services, evaluate and improve our services, analyze the Sites’ performance and functioning, prevent fraud, enforce our terms of use, comply with all applicable laws, enforce our agreements and accomplish other purposes you may initiate or request. In some situations, the collection of personal data may be required for the operation of the Sites, or we may use it in the course of our business activities, including in connection with some client services, for example, to provide certain services or products such as our benchmarking products. We may combine and/or analyze personal data to evaluate and offer content and services most relevant to you. We may keep any of your data on file and use it to contact you.
We may use first and third party Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies, including web beacons, to manage our Sites and our services and collect analytics about how you use them. The information provided throughout this Privacy Policy about cookies also applies to these other tracking technologies.
Our Sites do not track you by collecting personal data about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Accordingly, we do not alter our data collection and use practices in response to “do not track” signals transmitted from web browsers.
The legal basis by which we process your data
Our processing of your data for the purposes mentioned above is based:
· in part, on our legitimate interests in promoting and protecting our business, building and maintaining relationships, and providing our services;
· in part, on your consent, for business purposes that support web operations such as understanding and enhancing the quality of your experience on our websites;
· in part, to comply with the law, when certain information is necessary to satisfy our legal or regulatory obligations.
Link to third party sites
We may provide links to third-party websites or information as a service to our users. If you use these links, you will leave the Sites. Such links do not constitute or imply an endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by us of the third party, the third party website, or the information contained therein, and we shall not be responsible or liable for your use thereof. Such use shall be subject to the terms of use and privacy policies applicable to those sites.
Security
We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security to protect personal data from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Only authorized personnel and third-party service providers are provided access to personal data, and these employees and service providers are required to treat this information as confidential. Despite these precautions, however, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your data.
Data retention
We retain personal data, as necessary, for the duration of the relevant business relationship. We may also retain personal data for longer than the duration of the business relationship should we need to retain it to protect ourselves against legal claims, use it for analysis or historical record-keeping, or comply with our information management policies and schedules. If you request that we delete your data, we will make reasonable attempts to delete all instances of the information in their entirety. For requests for access, corrections, or deletion, please refer to the “Your Rights” section of this Privacy Policy.
Children
The Sites are not designed for or directed at children 16 years of age or younger, and We do not intentionally collect or maintain personal data about anyone under this age.
Your rights
Where granted by applicable law, you may have the right to request access to the personal data that we have collected about you to review, modify, or request the deletion of the data. You may also have the right to request a copy of the personal data that we have collected about you and to have any inaccuracies in that data corrected. In certain circumstances, you may also request that we cease processing your data.
If you would like to request to access, review, or correct the personal data we have collected about you or to discuss how we process your data, please contact us at info@PEngApplication.ca. We will make reasonable attempts to promptly investigate, comply with, or otherwise respond to your requests as may be required by applicable law. Different laws may prevent us from providing access to your data or otherwise fully complying with your request depending upon the circumstances and the request, such for example, where producing your information may reveal the identity of someone else. We reserve the right to charge an appropriate fee for complying with your request where allowed by applicable law, and/or deny your requests where they may be manifestly unfounded, and/or excessive, or otherwise objectionable or unwarranted under applicable law.
Also, and where granted by local law, you have the legal right to complain about a competent data protection authority.
Consent; Changes to Privacy Policy
By using the Sites, you consent to the collection, use, and storage of your data by us in the manner described in this Privacy Policy and elsewhere on the Sites. We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will alert you to any such changes by updating this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy that increases our rights to use personal data that we have previously collected about you, we will obtain your consent either through an email to your registered email address or by prominently posting information about the changes on our Sites.
