Ways To Sustain

At WaysToSustain we are committed to maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality and security of your personal information.  We have developed this Website Privacy Policy to describe our privacy policies and practices and to describe how we collect, use and disclose the personal information of those individuals who visit our website.    

The terms of this Privacy Policy apply to all personal information collected by WaysToSustain on its Website.  We have created this Privacy Policy pursuant to the Personal Information Protection Act (Alberta) 2003, c.P-6.5.  Your home jurisdiction may have privacy laws that are more or less protective that the province of Alberta, Canada.  However, you should be aware that Privacy legislation and an individual's right to privacy will differ from one jurisdiction to another.  

This Privacy Policy has a limited scope and application.  Consequently, the rights and obligations contained in this Privacy Policy may not be available to all individuals or in all jurisdictions.  If you are unsure if or how this Privacy Policy applies to you, please contact our Privacy Officer for more information.  

Personal Information

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, personal information is any information about an identifiable individual, (other than the person's business title or business contact information) when used or disclosed for the purpose of business communications.  We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in any manner differing from those disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

You can visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself, including your e-mail address.  Our web server may collect information related to your visit to our website, including the IP address and domain used to access our website, the type and version of your browser, the website you came from to access our website, the page you entered and exited at, any website page that is viewed by that IP address and what country you are from. We use this information to monitor our website's performance (such as number of visits, average time spent, page views, etc.), to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use, and to continually upgrade and improve the content and services provided on our Website.

Please be advised that when you voluntarily disclose information on any forum or comment on our Website, any personal or other information disclosed in your communication shall become public information and can be collected and used by other parties.  We cannot control the use of such information by third parties.

Cookies

When you visit the Website, we place a "cookie" on the hard drive of your computer to track your visit.  A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your hard drive through your web browser that can only be read by the website that placed the cookie on your hard drive.  The cookie acts as an identification card and allows our Website to identify you and to record your passwords and preferences.  The cookie allows us to track your visit to the website so that we can better understand your use of our website so that we can customize and tailor the website to better meet your needs.   

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies.  However, on most web browsers you may change this setting to have your web browser either: (1) notify you prior to a website placing a cookie on your hard drive so that you can decide whether or not to accept the cookie; or (2) automatically prevent the placing of a cookie on your hard drive.  It should be noted that if cookies are not accepted, you will not be able to log into the Website and hold an account, which means you will not have the ability to do such things as review music and register a band.  

In some cases, our third party service providers may use cookies on our Website.  We have no access to or control over these cookies.  This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by WaysToSustain only, and does not cover the use of cookies by third parties.

Links to other Websites

Our Website may contain links to other websites that may be subject to less stringent privacy standards.  We cannot assume any responsibility for the privacy practices, policies or actions of the third parties that operate these websites.  WaysToSustain is not responsible for how such third parties collect, use or disclose your personal information.  You should review the privacy policies of these websites before providing them with personal information.

Protection of Personal Information

WaysToSustain endeavors to maintain physical, technical and procedural safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information in question.  These safeguards are designed to prevent your personal information from loss and unauthorized access, copying, use, modification or disclosure.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while this Website strives to protect your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Revisions to this Privacy Policy

WaysToSustain from time to time, may make changes to this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in its legal or regulatory obligations or in the manner in which we deal with your personal information.  We will post any revised version of this Privacy Policy on our Website http://www.waystosustain.com/privacy-policy.html and we encourage you to refer back to it on a regular basis.  This Privacy Policy was last updated on October 9, 2009.

Interpretation of this Privacy Policy

Any interpretation associated with this Privacy Policy will be made by our Privacy Officer.  This Privacy Policy includes examples but is not intended to be restricted in its application to such examples, therefore where the word 'including' is used, it shall mean 'including without limitation'.

This Privacy Policy does not create or confer upon any individual any rights, or impose upon WaysToSustain any rights or obligations outside of, or in addition to, any rights or obligations imposed by Canada's federal and provincial privacy laws, as applicable. Should there be, in a specific case, any inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and Canada's federal and provincial privacy laws, as applicable, this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted, in respect of that case, to give effect to, and comply with, such privacy laws.
