  • to facilitate your movements throughout our website;
  • to be able to selectively send you communications that may be of interest to you, either electronically or otherwise;

Consent

IFPO requires the consent of individuals to collect, use or disclose personal information. Unless required by law or otherwise authorized by the Act, IFPO will not use or disclose personal information already collected for other purposes unless we obtain the consent of the individual to whom it belongs. Generally, we will seek consent to use and disclose personal information at the same time as we collect the information.

IFPO will affirmatively ask you to join our mailing lists using the forms provided on this website or other means expressly sanctioned by us.

Subject to contractual or legal arrangements, you may withdraw or refuse consent provided that we are given reasonable notice. We will inform you of the consequences of withdrawing your consent, if any.

IFPO strives to only send e-mails to those who want to receive it. If you would not like to receive future e-mails from IFPO, reply to any email with UNSUBSCRIBE as the subject.

Collection

IFPO will only collect personal information for the purposes we have identified above and that are reasonable in the circumstances. IFPO will only collect personal information through methods that are lawful, will not collect information indiscriminately and will not try to collect personal information directly from the individual concerned unless authorized by that individual to collect it from a third party, or otherwise, as permitted by the Act.

Depending on how you have configured your browser, when you access our website, a small file - a "cookie" - may be created by our server and stored on your computer. The cookie contains a unique session identification number and is used to:

  • keep track of your online order;
  • ensure that you see the correct products and pricing applicable to the area in which you are located;
  • personalize your experience by alerting you to features and information that might interest you;

A cookie cannot be used to access or otherwise compromise the data on your hard drive. If you arrive the IFPO website with your browser configured to disable cookies, you will not be identified until you register and sign-in. Please be advised that cookies may be required to complete certain functions on this website, such as making purchases or placing orders on the online store.

Aggregate Information

IFPO collects certain aggregate information, such as tracking the Internet address of the domains from which you visit our site and analyzing this data for trends and statistics, tracking your IP address (the number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you are using the Web), and tracking your browser type.

IFPO uses this aggregate information to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer the IFPO website, and to gather broad demographic information. None of this information is connected with your personal information. IFPO may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information provided during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of clients).

Use of IP Addresses

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We may collect IP addresses for the purpose of system administration, to report aggregated information to IFPO advertisers, and to audit the use of the IFPO website. When clients request pages from the IFPO website, our servers log the requesting clients' IP addresses. We normally will not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that clients' sessions will be logged, but client identity remains anonymous. IFPO can and will use IP addresses to identify a client when is necessary to enforce compliance with IFPO rules or terms of service, or to protect our service, website, or any person; or where it is otherwise authorized or required by law.

Use, Disclosure and Retention

IFPO only uses or discloses personal information for the purpose(s) for which it was collected.

IFPO may disclose the personal information to:

  • A person who, in our reasonable judgment, is seeking the information as an agent of the individual;
  • A company or individual engaged by us to perform functions on our behalf, such as research or data processing;
  • A credit reporting agency;
  • A public authority, or agent of a public authority, if in our reasonable judgement it appears that there is imminent danger to life or property which could be avoided or minimized by disclosure of the information; or
  • Where you consent to such disclosure or it is required or authorized by law.

IFPO may use and disclose employee personal information for a variety of purposes related to commencing, managing or terminating the employment relationship.

IFPO retains personal information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes stated above, as required for legal or business purposes; or as required by law. Subsequently, IFPO will destroy, erase, or make anonymous such information. However, IFPO will retain for at least one year personal information that has been used to make a decision about a client, customer or employee.

Accuracy of Personal Information

IFPO will make reasonable efforts to ensure that personal information in our control is accurate and complete. You may request corrections to your personal information. If your request for a correction is rejected by us, IFPO will make a notation of such request and rejection on your file or personal information.

Safeguarding Personal Information

IFPO will protect personal information in our control against risks of loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, modification or destruction by security safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity and format of the information.

Access

Upon reasonable written notice from you, IFPO will, within 30 days, or such longer period in the event we obtain an extension, provide access to all your personal information in IFPO's possession and tell you what information is being used for and to whom it has been disclosed.

We reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for providing access to personal information.

If IFPO refuses your request for access, we will notify you in writing, documenting the reasons for refusal, the relevant provision of the Act on which we rely and resources for redress available to you.

Complaints

If you have complaints about how your personal information is being handled by us, you may file a written complaint with our designated representative at the contact address listed above. Such complaint must clearly state the nature of the dispute and contain all necessary contact information for you.

IFPO will acknowledge receipt of a complaint, investigate such complaint and notify you of the outcome of the complaint, including any relevant steps taken.

Links to Other Sites

IFPO is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of websites to which our website provides links and our privacy policy does not apply to those websites. Other websites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information. Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online (for example, via message boards or chat lines), that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While IFPO strives to protect clients' personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online. You disclose such information at your own risk.

Our Commitment to Children's Privacy

Protecting children's privacy is especially important to IFPO. It is our policy to comply with applicable laws. We recommend that children ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to us or to anyone else online.

Revisions to this Policy

To ensure that this Policy is up to date and complies with the Act, we reserve the right to make changes.
