Thank you for visiting our web site.
This web site belongs to and is operated by Absolute Draining And Plumbing Inc (“Absolute”). Absolute is committed to protecting and safeguarding your privacy on the Internet. This Privacy Policy outlines the information Absolute may be collecting from visitors and how we will use and protect that information.
1. Consent to this Privacy Policy
By using our web site in any way, such as browsing or interacting, you signify
that you agree with the terms of our current Privacy Policy as posted here. If you do not agree
with this Privacy Policy, you should not use this web site.
Absolute reserves the right to change
or remove this Privacy Policy at our discretion. We encourage you to visit this area frequently
to stay informed. To make this policy easy to find, we make it available on our home page and
at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
2. What Information Is Collected
We collect two types of information about visitors:
Personally Identifiable Information: Personally identifiable information
is any information which can be used to identify an individual, such as a name,
address, telephone number, social security number, billing and shipping information,
credit card information or e-mail address.
When you visit our web site, we will not collect any personally identifiable information
about you unless you provide it to us voluntarily (e.g., asking questions, requsting a plumbing or drain service,
submiting an employment request).
You can visit our web sites without
telling us who you are or revealing personally identifiable information about yourself.
If you otherwise do not agree with any term in this Policy, please do not provide any personally
identifiable information on this site.
Aggregate and Statistical Data: Absolute may collect certain non-personally identifiable aggregate data
called web log information (such as your web browser, operating system, pages visited, etc.)
and use cookies or web beacons when you visit some of our web pages. For instance, when you visit
one of our web sites, our webserver will automatically recognize some non-personal information,
including but not limited to the date and time you visited our site, the pages you visited, the referrer
(the website you came from), the type of browser you are using (e.g., Firefox, Internet Explorer),
the type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows XP or Mac OS) and the domain name and address
of your internet provider (e.g., Rogers). We also may collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address.
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. The IP address
data that we collect does not contain any personally identifiable information about you and is used
to administer our site, to determine the numbers of different visitors to the site and to gather
broad demographic data. We do not use cookies to retrieve information that is unrelated to your visit
to or your interaction with this web site.
3. Use of Information
Personally Identifiable Information:
We collect, maintain and use personally identifiable information you have voluntarily submitted to our
web site for the following purposes:
- providing services and support to users;
- improving the web site, including tailoring it to users preferences;
- responding to your questions, inquiries, comments and instructions;
- maintaining the security and integrity of our systems.
Aggregate and Statistical Data: Absolute uses web log information (such as your web browser, operating system,
pages visited, etc.) to help us design our web site, to identify popular features, and for other managerial
purposes. However, such information may also be used if necessary to help identify any person attempting to
break into or damage our web site. We may share such information, possibly along with personally identifiable
information, with law enforcement agencies if we believe that we have evidence of a violation of computer
security or other laws.
4. Data Sharing and Storage
Absolute will not give or sell your personally identifiable information to any business, other
than the business to which you submitted your information (or a purchaser of such business)
without your consent unless required by law or disclosed to you at the time when the information
is collected. However, Absolute may use unaffiliated companies such as agents or contractors to help
it maintain and operate its web site or for other reasons related to the operation of its business,
and those companies may receive your personally identifiable information for that purpose.
These companies are restricted from using this data in any way other than to provide services for Absolute.
Finally, please note that we will release your personal information if required to do so by law,
search warrant, subpoena, court order or upon request of government authorities.
Your personally identifiable information will be stored for a reasonable amount of time in Absolute databases
located in Canada.
5. Security
Absolute is committed to keeping secure the data you provide us and will take reasonable precautions to protect
your personal information from loss, misuse or alteration. Agents or contractors of Absolute who have access
to your personal information in connection with providing services for Absolute are required to keep the
information confidential and are not permitted to use this information for any other purpose than to carry out
the services they are performing for Absolute.
Please be aware, however, that any email or other transmission you send through the Internet cannot be
completely protected against unauthorized interception.
6. Children
Absolute has no intention of collecting any personal information from individuals under 13 years of age,
and users under age 13 should not submit any personal information to us. Where appropriate, Absolute will
specifically instruct children not to submit such information on our web sites or advertisements.
If a child has provided us with personal information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact
us using information listed in Section 7 of this Privacy Policy if they would like this information
deleted from our records. We will use reasonable effort to delete the child’s information from our databases.
