At TrakMaps, the protection of your personal information has always been a top priority. TrakMaps' Policy regarding the collection, use and disclosure, if any, of personal information can be broken down into the 10 principles covered in Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA"). See Privacy-Policy-Personal-Information for a list of the types of personal information which we collect from you subject to this Policy when you do business with us.

1. Accountability

• TrakMaps is responsible for personal information under its control.
• We have designated a Privacy Officer who is accountable for our compliance with this Policy and all applicable privacy laws.
• All TrakMaps employees are responsible for day-to-day compliance.
• When we use trusted third parties to act on our behalf by performing such functions as fulfilling orders, delivering packages, processing credit card payments or providing customer service, contractual or other appropriate means are used to ensure compliance by such third parties with this Policy and all applicable privacy laws.
• Our website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible or the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by TrakMaps. Please review the Terms of Use for more information.

2. Identifying Purposes

• Unless the purpose is self-evident due to the nature of the transaction in question, TrakMaps will identify the purposes for which personal information is collected at or before the time the information is collected.

• Consent can be express or, in some circumstances, implied, and given in writing, by using or not using a check-off box, electronically, orally (in person or by telephone), or by your conduct, such as use of a product or service.
• In determining the type of consent to obtain, TrakMaps will consider all relevant factors, including the sensitivity of the information and your reasonable expectations.
• You may withdraw your consent at any time, on reasonable notice, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. TrakMaps will inform you of the implications of doing so. See Technology & Security.
  
  Children's Privacy

In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from an individual under the age of sixteen, we will remove that information as quickly as possible.

6. Accuracy

• We will keep your personal information as accurate, complete and up-to-date as necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.

Security and Online Ordering

We have adopted physical and technological processes and procedures to keep your personal information safe and secure. The personal information you provide when you establish an on-line account or place an online order is secured using Secure Socket Layers ("SSL") encryption technology. We use this SSL technology to prevent such information from being intercepted and read as it is transmitted over the Internet to our own servers. Only when it reaches the TrakMaps servers is your information decrypted and then stored on restricted access computers located at restricted access sites. We reveal only a portion of your credit card number when confirming an order. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and your computer.
