What personally identifiable information is collected from you?

The MutualBargains.ca collects information in several ways from different parts of our web site.

Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, we ask for your name and email address. The system will also ask for your street address, city, state/province, zip/postal code, country, telephone number, and the URL of your web site, although only fields that are marked with an asterisk (*) on the registration field are required. This information is used solely to assist you in navigating the system by automatically filling in certain forms (such as the ad posting form) with your information so that you don't have to continually re-enter it. Once you register you are no longer anonymous to MutualBargains.ca - you have a username and are able to take full advantage of the many offerings of the MutualBargains.ca.

In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you place ads or take advantage of the other features of the MutualBargains.ca. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence. Every page within the MutualBargains.ca includes a link to this Privacy Policy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What cookies are and how they are used?

As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, the MutualBargains.ca may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Several features of the MutualBargains.ca require that you accept cookies in order to work properly. (See "What choices are available to you regarding collection, use, and distribution of your information" for more information on cookies.)

Generally, we use cookies for the following purposes:

(1) To identify and label all "new" ads since your last visit to the site.

(2) Optionally to permanently save your password on your computer so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site.

(3) To enable you to "checklist" ads that you want to mark for future retrieval and viewing.

Advertising networks that serve ads onto the MutualBargains.ca may also use their own cookies.

The MutualBargains.ca may also collect IP addresses for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How your information is used

The primary goal of the MutualBargains.ca in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience and to assist your navigation throughout the MutualBargains.ca.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who is collecting your information?

When you are asked for personal information on the MutualBargains.ca, you are sharing that information with the MutualBargains.ca alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. However, some activities will, by their very nature, result in your personal information being revealed to other users of the MutualBargains.ca. For example, when you enter personal information on the ad posting form, this information will generally be included in your ad, unless specifically stated otherwise.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With whom your information may be shared

As a general rule, MutualBargains.ca will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. Please see the Terms of Service or Use Agreements for each of our products and services for more detailed information about how your personal information may be shared.

MutualBargains.ca may disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating the Terms of Service of the MutualBargains.ca or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights or property of the MutualBargains.ca, other users of the MutualBargains.ca, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. MutualBargains.ca may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What choices are available to you regarding collection, use, and distribution of your information?

If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use most of the MutualBargains.ca, but you will not be able to access areas or use features that require registration.

You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those services of the MutualBargains.ca that require registration in order to participate. These services include the identification of new ads that have been posted since your last visit, auto-filling of the logon form, and the Checklist feature. You can still use most of the features of the MutualBargains.ca even if you do not accept cookies.

The MutualBargains.ca does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We will notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if your data will be shared with a third party and you will always have the option of not permitting the transfer. If you do not wish to allow your data to be shared, you can choose not to use a particular service.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How you can access, update or delete your information?

We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may edit or delete your user profile at any time by clicking on the "My Profile" link or graphic provided by the system once you are logged in. Once you have logged onto the system during a given session, wherever you go on the MutualBargains.ca, your information will stay with you until or unless you click on the "Logoff" link, which is accessible from within the "My Profile" screen.

If you are a previously registered user and you have lost or forgotten your password, you may obtain it by email by using our "Forgot Password" feature. Click the button on any login page to request that your password be emailed to you. We cannot provide your password by any other means.

Your MutualBargains.ca account can be deleted, but doing so will result in not being able to access any of the features of the program that require user registration.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The kind of security precautions that are in place to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information

Other than the administrator of the MutualBargains.ca or other authorized personnel of the MutualBargains.ca, you are the only person who has access to your personal information. Your user registration is password-protected to prevent unauthorized access.

We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. MutualBargains.ca will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. As an extra security precaution, you may want to logoff once you have completed a session in the MutualBargains.ca. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, MutualBargains.ca cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How MutualBargains.ca protects children's privacy

MutualBargains.ca is a general audience web site. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. MutualBargains.ca does not share personal information about users under the age of 13 with third parties and we do not sell or rent personal information about any of our users, regardless of age. In addition, MutualBargains.ca will not send any direct email offers to users who indicate they are under the age of 13.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What else you should know about your online privacy

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example in ads that you post or through email - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
