Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

This privacy policy describes the privacy practices of Navarik Corp. (Navarik or "we") with respect to information we collect from visitors (Users)of our the Navarik.com corporate website (Site).

When you request additional information or register for services, Navarik will ask you to provide basic contact information. Our Site uses common Internet technologies, such as cookies and Web beacons, to keep track of interactions with the Company's Web sites and emails. Navarik uses information collected to provide you with the services you request. Navarik may use information collected to improve our Site and services.

"Personal Information" is information about you that is personally identifiable to you like your name, address, e-mail address, or phone number, as well as other non-public information that is associated with the foregoing.

"Anonymous Information" means information that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Information; Anonymous Information does not permit the identification of individual persons.

On your first visit to our Site, a "cookie" may be sent to your computer from the Navarik server. A cookie is a file that stores a personal preference file so that the originating server recognizes you as a unique user. It cannot tell us that you are "Person A" from "Location A". We use cookies to track whether a user has visited and registered with our Site previously, and particularly in the case of needing to register to download Site Content, to prevent the user from having to re-register every time they wish to download an individual item. While this activity depends on the use of a "cookie," visitors to a Navarik web site always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Note that all modern browsers, version 4 and above of both Netscape Navigator and MS Explorer have cookies turned on as a default. However, note that some parts of Navarik web site may not function properly if you refuse a cookie. A cookie can only be read by the organization that sets it.

Information Sharing

This policy statement will inform you of the methods we use to collect information from you and what we do with it. There are cases where Navarik may ask you for personal information, such as your name or address. We do this only when you register for events or services, or to download materials that require registration. Navarik needs to collect this information to ensure your satisfaction in browsing our web site, tracking or verifying compliance with Navarik policies as well as federal, provincial and local laws and/or for editorial and feedback solicitation purposes.

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not trade, rent, or share your personal information with third parties, unless you ask or authorize us to do so.

We may provide your personal information to third party service providers who work on behalf of or with us to provide some aspects of our services and to help us communicate with you. However, these service providers do not have any independent right to use or share this information (except pursuant to a legal requirement such as a subpoena or warrant).

Although we currently do not have a parent company, any subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control (collectively, "Affiliates"), we may in the future. We may share some or all of your personal information with these Affiliates, in which case we will require our Affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy.

If our company or our assets are acquired by another company, that company will possess the personal information collected by us and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose your personal information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on us; or (b) to protect or defend the rights, property, or safety of Navarik or any third party.

We may create Anonymous Information records from Personal Information by excluding information (such as your email address) that makes the Personal Information personally identifiable to you. We may use and disclose this Anonymous Information at our discretion.

Links to other sites

Users should be aware that when you are on our Site, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from Navarik's pages that take you outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a link in a news item, the "click" takes you off the Navarik web site. This includes links from partners that may use Navarik's logos as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information. While Navarik strives to protect its user's personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online and you do so at your own risk.

Navarik's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond Navarik's control and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation. We reserve the right at our discretion to make changes to this policy at any time.

Please check this page periodically for changes.
