Last Updated November, 2018

This Privacy Policy outlines the privacy practices of Build.ca concerning the collection, use, retention, disclosure and security of personal information obtained with respect to its customers, (sometimes hereinafter referred to as "you" or "your") in Canada in connection with our business and has been developed to comply with Canada's private sector privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA"), the Personal Information Protection Act (Alberta), the Personal Information Protection Act (British Columbia) and An act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Québec).

Protecting individual privacy is important, and Build.ca is committed to maintaining personal information that it obtains secure and confidential.

Collection of Personal Information

Build.ca and its representatives may collect personal information in a number of circumstances in connection with our business and we may collect or receive personal information through a number of other sources, including:
- when you request a quote, order, purchase, return or exchange any of our products or services;
- when you correspond with us, including electronically, to contact one of our representatives, provide us with questions or comments or participate in any promotion or survey which we may make available from time to time;
- when you visit or use the Build.ca website, which may involve the collection of: (a) visitor data provided voluntarily by site users; and (b) site data that is collected automatically by our systems to provide us with information about site use and for research analysis purposes; and
- other ongoing transactions or interactions with Build.ca.

Use of Personal Information

Personal information will be used only for those purposes to which the affected individual has consented. Subject to certain exceptions detailed below, as permitted or required by applicable privacy laws.
developing and maintaining our relationship with you, including with respect to the promotion or offering of additional products and services that might benefit or be of interest to you, processing orders, providing ongoing service and arranging delivery of products or services;
monitoring, detecting and preventing fraudulent and suspicious transactions, including meeting risk management and fraud monitoring requirements;
otherwise meeting legal and regulatory requirements;
generally managing and administering our business; and
as otherwise consented to by an individual consent or as permitted or required by law.

In some circumstances, Build.ca may use and disclose personal information without the affected individual's consent, including where: we have reasonable grounds to believe the information could be useful when investigating a contravention of a federal, provincial or foreign law and the information is used for that investigation; an emergency exists that threatens an individual's life, health or security; or knowledge and consent would compromise the availability or accuracy of the information, which is relevant to the detection, suppression or prevention of fraud, the investigation of a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the law;

Disclosure and Transfer of Personal Information

Personal information will be accessible by those Build.ca employees, officers and directors that need to know the information for the purposes of their work, including as identified below. We may otherwise disclose personal information as set out below, with the affected individual's consent or as permitted or required by law.

Services and Transactions: We may disclose personal information as necessary in connection with the transactions, products and services you have requested. Service Providers: We may use agents and service providers (including computer technology and financial service providers such as credit card issuers and those of our affiliates acting in such capacities) to collect, use, and/or process personal information on our behalf, and personal information may be transferred to those entities for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Internal Processes: We may disclose personal information as reasonably necessary to meet insurance, audit, processing and regulatory requirements. PIPEDA permits Build.ca to disclose personal information to third parties, without the affected individual's knowledge and consent, to: a lawyer representing Build.ca; comply with a subpoena, a warrant or an order made by a court or other body with appropriate jurisdiction; a law enforcement agency in the process of a civil or criminal investigation; or a government agency or department requesting the information. PIPEDA also permits Build.ca to transfer personal information to a third party without the affected individual's knowledge or consent if the transfer is simply for processing purposes and the third party only uses the information for the purposes for which it was transferred.

Build.ca will ensure, by contractual or other means, that third parties to who personal information is disclosed or transferred protects the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and uses it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed or transferred.

Once consent is obtained from the individual to use their information for those purposes, Build.ca has the implied consent of the affected individual to collect or receive any supplementary information that is necessary to fulfil the same purposes. Express consent will also be obtained if, or when, a new use is identified.

Personal information will be retained in customer files for as long as the file is active and for such periods of time as may be required for reasonable business purposes and as prescribed by applicable laws and regulations.
