Privacy

Ottawa Services is committed to protecting your privacy. You can visit most pages on our site without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request, and this privacy statement explains data collection and use in those situations. This privacy statement only applies to Ottawa Services ; it does not apply to other online or offline sites, products or services. Please read the complete Ottawa Services privacy statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are registering before entering a contest, ordering e-mail newsletters, joining a limited-access premium site, signing up for an event or training, or when purchasing and/or registering Ottawa Services products. Personal information collected by Ottawa Services often is limited to e-mail address, language, country or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.
For example: If you choose a service or transaction that requires payment, such as making a purchase in the Shopping Cart area of the Web site, we will request personal information necessary for billing and/or shipping, such as: name, address, telephone number, and credit card number.
When you buy a new product, we may ask you to register your purchase electronically. We keep this registration information on file with any information you've already given us on previous visits to our Web site.
Ottawa Services also collects certain information about your computer hardware and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser type, operating system, domain name, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of Ottawa Services.
Ottawa Services also collects information about which pages our customers visit within Ottawa Services. This site visitation data is identified only by a unique ID number, and it is never linked with personal information
Use of your Personal Information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:
To ensure our site is relevant to your needs.
To deliver services, such as newsletters, that you request.
To alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new services from Ottawa Services, if you so request.

We will merge site-visitation data with anonymous demographic information for research purposes, and we may use this information in aggregate to provide more relevant content. In some limited-entry sections of Ottawa Services, with your approval, we will combine site-visitation data with your personal information in order to provide you with personalized content. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Control of your Personal Information

When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, Ottawa Services will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.
Ottawa Services may send out periodic e-mails informing you of product or service you requested, or confirming you requested a product or service. You will not be able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are considered an essential part of the service you have chosen.
Access to your Personal Information

Ottawa Services will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current.
If you register on Ottawa Services, you can review and edit your personal information at the My Account. You will be asked to enter your Username and password before viewing your personal information.
At the My Account you can view and edit personal information you have already given us at Ottawa Services.
Security of your Personal Information

Ottawa Services is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide in computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit sensitive information (such as a credit card number) over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Protection of Children's Personal Information

Ottawa Services is a general audience site and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
Use of Cookies

When someone visits the site, a cookie is placed on the customer's machine (if the customer accepts cookies) or is read if the customer has visited the site previously. One use of cookies is to assist in the collection of the site visitation statistics described above.
