Privacy Statement

Property Management Institute of Canada (“we” or “us”) respects the privacy of the users of our website and the confidentiality of the information shared with us. The intent of this privacy statement is to disclose the privacy practices of pmic.ca website (the “Site”).

We are committed to providing you with notice and choice about the use and any onward transfer of your information, as well as access to your information. Security, data integrity, and the enforcement of this privacy statement are also very important to us. We will not use or share your personal information obtained through the Site in ways incompatible with this privacy statement.

What information does the Site collect?

We will ask you for information which may include your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and fax number in order to respond to your request for information or for the purchase of one of our products or services. We may also use the information to contact you for feedback; to notify you about updates to the Site; or to contact you for marketing purposes. For example, you may receive periodic mailings and/or telephone calls from us with information on new products and services or upcoming events. If you do not wish to receive mailings or calls, you may update your profile by selecting the “opt out” option, which will prevent future communications originating from the Site.

We do not collect or store credit card information — and we will never ask you for such information — as we use a secure third-party vendor to process the payment of registration fees.

Like many websites, the Site may also collect information about visitors and the manner in which visitors utilize and navigate the Site. The Site may track the pages you visit, the URL that you visited before you came to the Site, the URL to which you next go, and your IP address. This information helps us to design and improve the Site to better suit our visitors’ needs. We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer the Site. Your IP address also may be used to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information. Be advised that the collection of this data is in no way connected to you as an individual. Rather, it is used as a broad reporting tool to measure unique users not identifiable users.

Does the Site use cookies?

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to a user’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes while visiting a site. Like most websites, we may use cookies on certain pages of the Site. Cookies make using the Internet easier by, among other things, saving your passwords and preferences for you. We may also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and for web traffic analysis and Site navigation. You are free to not accept the cookies by referring to your browser’s “help” feature, but certain features of the Site may not function as intended or may be slowed if you decline to accept cookies.

To whom do we disclose information?

The information that we collect is generally used for internal purposes such as fulfilling your requests for information, customer support/responding to your inquiries, compiling usage statistics regarding the Site, and analyzing visitor preferences regarding our products and services. We may share the information collected on the Site with outside parties to the extent necessary to fulfill your requests for information or to provide our products and services to you. In addition, we may share your information with outside parties with whom we have a business relationship.

We will divulge personal information to law enforcement agencies or other governmental agencies when required to do so or when we in good faith believe it is necessary in order to comply with legal obligations. We will, however, ask all governmental officials to provide us with acceptable reasons that we believe, in our sole discretion, support disclosure of personal information. We may monitor e-mail correspondence and telephone calls to track reported problems and to ensure quality assurance. Similarly, we monitor web traffic in the aggregate for the purposes of evaluating marketing campaigns and content improvement.

In addition, in the event that this Site or substantially all of our assets are acquired or reorganized, user information will of course be one of the transferred assets; provided that the transferee agrees to comply with the provisions of this privacy statement. We are the sole owner of any and all information collected through the use of the Site.

How can you access or correct your information?
