This Privacy Policy applies to all of our activities, including our website located at https://www.stratadocuments.com/ (the "Site"), and the services available through this site (collectively the "Services")
By submitting your personal information to us, registering for an account with us, and/or using the Site and any of the Services, you consent to our collecting, using and disclosing your personal information as set out in this privacy policy, which we may revise from time to time. This Privacy Policy forms part of your Agreement with Section 36, and any capitalized terms not expressly defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement, a copy of which is located at: https://www.stratadocuments.com/privacy
"Personal information" means information about an identifiable individual. This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number. Personal information does not include any business contact information that is solely used to communicate with you in relation to your employment, business or profession, such as your name, position name or title, work address, work telephone number, work fax number or work electronic address. Personal information also does not include information that has been anonymized or aggregated in such a way that there is no serious possibility it can be used to identify an individual, whether on its own or in combination with other information.
We collect, use and disclose your personal information with your consent or as permitted or required by law, including all applicable provincial and federal privacy laws. How we obtain your consent (i.e. the form we use) will depend on the circumstances, as well as the sensitivity of the information collected. Subject to applicable laws, your consent may be express or implied, depending on the circumstances and the sensitivity of the personal information in question. If you choose to provide personal information to us, we assume that you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as outlined in this privacy statement. You are deemed to have consented to our collection, use or disclosure of your personal information, at the time the consent is deemed to be given, the purpose would be considered obvious to a reasonable person. In such circumstances, we will collect, use or disclose personal information without obtaining your written or verbal consent to do so. Typically, we will seek your consent at the time your personal information is collected. Where we want to use your personal information for a purpose not previously identified to you at the time of collection, we will seek your consent prior to our use of such information for this new purpose.
You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your personal information at any time by contacting us using the contact information below. However, before we implement the withdrawal of consent, we may require proof of your identity. In some cases, withdrawal of your consent may mean that we will no longer be able to provide certain services. If you provide personal information about another individual to us, it is your responsibility to obtain the consent of that individual to enable us to collect, use and disclose his or her information as described in this Privacy Policy.
a) Services. We collect the following information when you use the Services:
Account information: we collect contact and profile information in connection with the creation and management of your user account, such as your name, e-mail address and password, and your occupation.
User submitted information: we collect information that you submit through your use of the Services.
Usage data: we automatically collect usage data and other analytics to provide us with information about how the Services are being used and the different types of activities undertaken by users of the Services, such as the date, time, device and location of use, as well as sharing and commenting data. This information is occasionally aggregated and anonymized for service, usage and performance monitoring purposes.
b) Other Interactions. If you otherwise interact with us, whether in person, by phone or email, through social media or otherwise, including if you might be interested in acquiring our Services, sign-up to receive newsletters or other communications, or respond to surveys and questionnaires, we may collect information that you provide to us during these interactions. This information may include your name, e-mail address and other contact information.
c) Third party information. We do not collect payment card information. If you make an online payment using a payment card, such as a credit card or debit card, your payment is submitted through our online payment processing service provider and your payment card information is collected and processed by that service provider.
We may use any of the personal information collected for the following purposes:
We rely on third party services providers to perform a variety of services on our behalf, such as e-commerce providers, payment card processers, telephone and technical support providers, hosting, data storage and processing service providers, and research and analytics providers. We require our service providers to maintain the confidentiality of any of your personal information provided to them and to keep your personal information secure. We also require that they only use your personal information for the limited purposes for which it is provided. When our service providers no longer need your personal information for those limited purposes, we require that they destroy or return the personal information to the extent possible, except for information they are required to retain under applicable law. We do not authorize the service providers to disclose your personal information to unauthorized parties or to use your personal information for their direct marketing purposes. If you use the Services and indicate in your account profile that you are a licensed representative of a brokerage (your "Brokerage"), we may disclose the fact that you are a user of the Services to your Brokerage. Additionally, we may use and disclose your information when we believe such use or disclosure is permitted, necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside British Columbia and Canada; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities, including public and government authorities outside of British Columbia and Canada; (d) to enforce the terms of the Agreement; (e) to protect our operations or those of any of our Affiliates (as such term is defined in the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)); (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or those of our Affiliates, you or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain. In addition, we may transfer your personal information and other information to a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, brands, affiliates, subsidiaries or other assets.
If we otherwise intend to disclose your personal information to a third party, we will identify that third party and the purpose for the disclosure, and obtain your consent.
We will use, disclose or retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which that personal information was collected and as permitted or required by law.
