Application

This Policy is a summary of our privacy practices and policies governing the Services, the Website and the App, and is applicable to visitors to this Website and licensees and users of the App. More detailed information about our privacy practices and policies not set out in this Policy may be generally available from us on request. We may from time to time revise this Policy to reflect changes in our procedures regarding personal information and post the revised version of the Policy on this Website. Upon posting, the revised Policy will come into effect.

This Policy is subject to the terms and conditions of any agreement or contract you may have entered into, or may enter into in the future, with MowSnowPros.

Terminology

Personal information means information about an identifiable individual. This does not include information of an aggregate or anonymous nature where a specific individual or individuals cannot be identified, nor does it include business contact information used to contact an individual in their capacity as an employee or official of an organization.

Privacy and this Website

While you should be aware that most web servers do collect some information about visitors, such as the browser and version you are using, your operating system, and your “IP” or Internet address, which may identify your Internet Service Provider or computer but not the person using it, simply visiting our Website does not result in our collecting any personal information from you.  

The Website may use “cookies” in order to collect information about use of the Website by you and others to monitor and analyze usage trends and preferences in order to update, enhance and improve the Website and its features and functionality.  

Unless you choose to provide us with personal information, our use of cookies does not identify you and you remain anonymous.  You may configure your browser to reject or limit the use of cookies, but that may affect your browsing experience.

While we make reasonable efforts to maintain the security of personal information in our custody or control, please be advised that the Internet and email are inherently insecure media, and we accept no liability for the security or privacy of personal information in transit over the Internet.

It is generally our policy to collect, use and disclose personal information only with consent, but we reserve our right to do so without consent where required to or permitted to by law, such as, for example, in course of an investigation or in relation to a legal proceeding.  We reserve our rights under all applicable exemptions or exceptions under privacy legislation we are subject to.
