We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone. We use the information we collect from you to respond to your requests, communicate with you, and customize your use of our Website or Services. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization without your knowledge and consent, other than as described in this Privacy Policy or as necessary to fulfill your request. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may use, process, transfer, and store any data about individuals and customers in an anonymous (or pseudonymous) and aggregated manner. We may combine personal information with other information collected online and offline, including information from third party sources. We may share anonymized data with third parties for business development purposes. We may also use your personal information in other ways with consent or as permitted by applicable law.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email to specifically answer your requests or notify you of changes to this Privacy Policy.
3. When Do We Share Your Personal Information There are some circumstances where we may share your personal information with a third party. For example:
• We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.
• We reserve the right to disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, enforce our Terms of Use, respond to claims, or to protect the rights, property or safety of PathToCareer, its affiliates, its customers, service providers, or the public.
• We may share personal information with our affiliates or any business partners or agents acting on our behalf or with our financial, insurance, legal, accounting or other advisors that provide professional services to us.
• Your personal information may be disclosed to a company or individual employed or engaged by us to perform functions on our behalf such as data processing or document retention. Any such disclosure of your personal information is made on a strictly confidential basis, and the information is to be used only for the purpose for which it was shared. We ensure that the company or individual adheres to this Privacy Policy.
• We may share, disclose or transfer personal information to a buyer, investor, new affiliate, or other successor in the event that PathToCareer or any affiliate, portion, group or business unit thereof, undergoes a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, consolidation, reorganization, divestiture, liquidation or dissolution (including bankruptcy), or a sale or other transfer of all or a portion of any assets of PathToCareer or any affiliates or during steps in contemplation of such activities (e.g., negotiations and due diligence).

• We may disclose your personal information with your consent.
4. Transferring Your Personal Information We may transfer personal information that we collect or that you provide as described in this Privacy Policy to contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business (such as analytics and search engine providers that assist us with the improvement and optimization of Services offered) and who are contractually obligated to keep personal information confidential. We may process, store, and transfer your personal information in and to a foreign country, with different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as Canadian law. In these circumstances, the governments, courts, law enforcement, or regulatory agencies of that country may be able to obtain access to your personal information through the laws of the foreign country.

6. Data Security The security of your personal information is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website. WE DO NOT WARRANT OR REPRESENT THAT PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU WILL BE PROTECTED AGAINST, LOSS, MISUSE, OR ALTERATION BY THIRD PARTIES.
7. Our use of cookies and log files 3 We use browser tracking cookies (or “cookies”), which are small text files that are placed on the hard disk of a computer by a website. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a website or web server that issued the cookie to you. We also use browser “log files” which record certain information when you visit a website, including your IP address. To improve your experience on our Website and Services, we use cookies and log files to: recognize you when you return to our Website and Services; keep track of activity on our Website and Services and remember what items you have clicked on or viewed; study how you navigate through our Website and Services and which website you request in site searches so that we can improve the design, content and function of our Website and Services; and customize the message, content and delivery of online banner advertisements and e-mails that reflect how you navigate to and through our Website based on your online behavior. We call this “Browsing Data”. We may hire third-party service providers to assist us in the collection and analysis of this Browsing Data collected through cookies, but none of your personal information is disclosed to these third party service providers. You have the ability to accept or decline our use of cookies. You can refuse cookies by turning them off or blocking them in your Internet browser. If you decide to turn off or block cookies, our Website or Services might not function correctly.
8. Personal Information used by Third Party Websites From time to time, we may include links to third party websites which are not controlled or maintained by us. We are not responsible for personal information submitted by you to third party websites or the personal information collected by third party websites. You should review the privacy policies of third party websites or contact the third party website’s operator if you have questions or concerns.
9. Tracking We will not respond to web browser “do not track” signals. If you would like additional information about online tracking and various opt-out mechanisms, please see https://youradchoices.com/. Because we link to social media sites, and from time to time may include third-party advertisements, other parties may collect your personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit this Website. In addition, we use Google AdWords, so we are advertising the Website online through a form of tracking called remarketing. Third-party vendors, including Google, show our ads on various sites across the Internet, and use cookies to serve you ads based on your past visits to this Website. You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please note that not all tracking will stop even if you delete cookies.
10. Age of Majority The Website and Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 16 (provided that, if User is located in a state in which 16 is under the age of majority, then User represents he/she has the legal consent of a legal guardian to enter this Agreement). User also certifies that User is legally permitted to use the Service and takes full responsibility for the selection and use of the Service. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Service is revoked in such jurisdictions. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a minor without verification of parental consent, we will delete such personal information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a minor, please contact us as set forth below.
11. Accessing and Correction Your Personal Information By law you have the right to request access to and to correct the personal information that we hold about you. 4 If you want to review, verify, correct or withdraw consent to the use of your personal information you may also send us an email at contact@pathtocareer.com to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and your right to access, and to provide you with the personal information that we hold about you or make your requested changes. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, erased, or made your personal information anonymous in accordance with our record retention obligations and practices.
