Personal Information<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the purposes of this Policy, \u201cpersonal information\u201d means any information about an individual that could be used to identify an individual.\u00a0 Examples of personal information include, for example, an individual\u2019s name, home address, telephone number, e-mail address, social insurance number, sex, income and family status. Applicable Privacy Laws for your region may contain more robust definitions (including exclusions). Please consult those for more information..<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">b. Non-Personal Information<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicable Privacy Laws may allow for some exceptions to what is considered personal information.\u00a0 \u201cNon-personal information\u201d is any type of information other than personal information, and is excluded from this Policy. For example, non-personal information would include reasonably available business information, or information that enables an individual to be contacted at a place of business, for example an employee\u2019s name, position or title, business telephone number, or business address. Non-personal information also includes information that is anonymous or not about an identifiable individual, such statistical information about web browsing (such as the domains used to access the Website, or the type and version of devices, browsers or operating systems being used to access the Service), or aggregate information that anonymizes the underlying data (like the number of visitors, what pages users visit, average time spent on the Website or on various parts of the Service). We will collect, use or disclose non-personal information in accordance with our ordinary business practices, but always in accordance with any applicable laws. This Policy, however, only covers our collection, use and disclosure of personal information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">c.

CASL regulates, and our policies generally apply to, each commercial electronic message (CEM) we send, which is an electronic message sent to an electronic address that, among its purposes, encourages participation in a commercial activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to adopting this Policy, and to provide transparency about our compliance, we have undertaken various initiatives in order to ensure we are compliant with CASL in various respects:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consent\u2014We do not send CEMs without your consent. This consent typically must be \u201cexplicit\u201d (or explicitly acknowledged by you), but in certain circumstances consent can be \u201cimplied\u201d and in others, messages are specifically exempt from consent requirements. We have modified or adopted our sign-up, registration and consent forms in order to ensure that the express consent obtained from you is in compliance with CASL.\u00a0 When we are collecting your electronic contact information, you will know what purposes we want to use it for.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Content\u2014We have adopted processes to ensure that our CEMs contain the prescribed content of CASL. On any CEM from us (usually in the footer), we will clearly:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify ourselves as the party sending the CEM, and whether we are sending the message on our own behalf or on behalf of someone else;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide you contact information where you can readily contact us; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set out a clear, working unsubscribe mechanism (or preference centre) that is easy to use, automatic, and at no cost to you (other than your own cost of connecting to the Internet).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clarity\u2014We have ensured that each constituent element of a CEM (including its header, its content, or any links or URLs in the CEM) conveys the appropriate information, whether viewed individually or taken as a whole, so that you always know what you are clicking on.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have received a CEM from us, and you believe that you should not have or you do not wish to receive them (even if we are allowed to send them), we will endeavour to respect your inbox preferences.\u00a0 Without limiting our legal rights or obligations, we try to ensure that all our messages contain useful identity information and unsubscribe or preferences links \u2014if you check the CEM itself, you will find clear instructions on how to stop receiving CEMs from us or manage your mail preferences.\u00a0 When you unsubscribe, it should happen very quickly \u2013 but as required by CASL we will make sure it occurs within 10 business days.\u00a0 If you have any questions or concerns about our unsubscribe methods, you may contact us at <\/span><a href=\"mailto:privacy@braceyourselfgames.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">privacy@braceyourselfgames.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>10. REMOVAL OF YOUR INFORMATION<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We keep your information only as long as we need it for legitimate business purposes and to meet any legal requirements. Personal information used to make a decision that directly affects an individual will be kept for at least one year after such a decision. We have retention standards that meet these parameters. We destroy your information when it is no longer needed or required to be kept, or we remove your personally identifiable information to render it anonymous.\u00a0 We also comply with Applicable Privacy Laws regarding the removal of your information.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>11.
