We also may automatically collect general anonymous information related to your use of our Web Site, such as the date and time you visit the Web Site, the last site your computer visited before arriving at our Web Site, and the pages you visit on the Web Site. In addition, we collect “cookie” information from your browser to identify your computer and provide us with a record of your visits to our Web Site. The technology used to gather “cookie” information is provided by the Internet browser you use, and may be turned off by using your browser preference buttons (collectively, the foregoing is referred to as “Usage Data”). This statistical information helps us to understand how our Web Site is used (e.g., which pages or sections are most popular and when are the peak activity times), which assists us in planning for future improvements to the Web Site.

Use of Personal Information

The personal information you provide us to register in one of our contests, is used to identify who you are and, if applicable, to provide you with information you requested to receive about CI’s services and promotions, updates to our Web Site and other Web Site features. We also may use this information to administer your participation in our contests, sweepstakes, surveys or other promotions offered through the Web Site, and to resolve customer service requests. We use the information you provide when ordering a product to process your order and confirm receipt. We may also use this information to contact you for customer service related issues. Cookie information is used to personalize the content and/or layout of the Web Site for each individual user. If you consent to receiving communications from CI or specifically identified third parties (“CI Hosts/Sponsors”), your registration information may be used by CI or such CI Hosts/Sponsors to contact you about products and services that may be of interest to you.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Except as expressly set out in this Privacy Policy, we will not sell, transfer or otherwise disclose any of your personal information to any third party.

Certain personal information may be disclosed to third parties solely for the purposes of processing or arranging delivery of your order, or processing your request. We may also disclose your personal information to third parties who administer or fulfill contests, promotions, and on-line activities on our behalf.

Demographic, profile and survey data are not shared anonymously with third parties, and will not be done so for any purpose other than for provision to each contest host and their sponsors.

Further, we must provide your personal information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid enquiry or order, or to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or as otherwise required by law. We may also disclose personal information to assist us in collecting a debt owed by you.

In addition, in the event that CI sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, CI may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of that transaction. In such circumstances, the third party will only use or disclose your personal information in accordance with the privacy policy of CI in effect at the time of the collection of your personal information or as you otherwise consent.

Third Party Links

The Web Site may include links to third party Web Sites. These linked sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We have no control over such sites and therefore have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations who operate such linked sites may collect, use or disclose and otherwise treat your personal information.

Security of Personal Information

We maintain your personal information in secure data storage to safeguard it from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. CI utilizes a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. All user contact information is contained behind a "firewall" and only accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access rights to production systems. Credit Card information is not collected by CI and therefore we etrust this to PayPal Inc. Paypal Inc encrypts it’s database, which is also located behind a firewall. All sensitive/credit information supplied by users is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and is not stored in CI’s databases. CI’s technology department conducts frequent site security audits. We will only keep your personal information for as long as it remains necessary or relevant for the purposes stated above or as otherwise required by law.

If you choose to modify your personal information, you may do so by visiting the “Update profile” section of the Web Site. You will be required to submit a valid user ID and password for authentication before you will be able to modify your file.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

If we modify our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on our Web Site so that our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personal information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an e-mail. Users will then have a choice as to whether or not to consent to the use of their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected or as users otherwise consent.

How to Contact Us/Withdraw Consent

If you would like to withdraw your consent for the collection, use and/or disclosure of your personal information, terminate your entry with the Web Site or update or correct any of your personal information we have in our possession, or if you have any inquiries or comments about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at privacy@cfgcanada.com or write to:
