Policy Overview
eBrandon.ca is privately owned and operated by Sobkow Technologies Inc of Brandon, Manitoba.
We are very concerned about the protection of
online privacy for all our website visitors. This
policy is intended to provide an overview of our
philosophy and procedures concerning this issue.
This policy applies to the website www.ebrandon.ca.
Information we collect
As part of the features of this website we do
collect personally identifiable information voluntarily submitted
by a visitor in connection with registration or
other activity. With the permission of a visitor
who is 18 years of age or over, such personally
identifiable information submitted in connection
with a registration or other activity on our website
may be used for marketing and promotional purposes.
Sobkow Technologies may also grant to certain
third parties access to our database as necessary
in connection with services provided by such third
parties to the eBrandon.ca, but such disclosures
are subject to non-disclosure commitments by the
third parties. Information gathered online is
used by Sobkow Technologies, for internal marketing
analysis and to improve our products, services
and websites.
We use "cookie" technology (where our
servers deposit special codes on a visitor's computer)
to track user participation. We do not automatically
extract personally identifiable information in
this process. The "cookie" technology
will only be used to track non-personal information
such as type of browser, operating system, and
domain names to customize the website for each
visitor and to improve the visitor's online experience.
In some instances, when contact information has
been provided by the visitor, we will
send notices to visitors, usually in the form
of an e-mail. These notices, sent periodically,
will announce website upgrades, new product information,
promotions and other similar admins that may be
of interest to the visitor. Our mailers and other
notices tell the visitor how to "opt-out"
so that he or she can stop the notices at any
time. Cookie technology is also used to remember information specific to yourself in association with classified ad submissions ONLY when you indicate that you would like the site to remember your contact information for future use. This information is used for no other purpose other than your own computer remembering your information for future use by yourself.
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.
We have integrated the Twitter widget of the company Twitter Inc. in the News section of this website. When you visit the news section you automatically load the Widget for display, and Twitter receives certain information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the address of the website where the Widget is integrated, and places a cookie that recognizes your browser. In connection with the cookie, Twitter can theoretically recognize which pages you have visited across various websites, provided that the Widget has been implemented there. On Twitter’s own account, Twitter uses the data to tailor content for you based on your visits to third-party websites, and may give suggestions for people to follow on Twitter, if you have a Twitter account.
If at any time you wish to have your member account removed, please login to that account, click on the "Profile Settings" link in the left-hand column of your profile page and initiate remove from the link titled "Click for account removal form" under the subsequent settings tab. Should you have any difficulty with this process do not hesitate to send a request through the contact us page.
We track and store user IP addresses each time a forum message, photo, video, classified ad, classified ad web form submission or private message are posted/sent. Combined with information from your internet provider, this information may personally identify you. This information will only be used in the event of a dispute between yourself and eBrandon or another third party in which the law is perceived to have been violated.
Information (e-mail address) submitted as part of replies to classified ads is logged and is used only in the event of a legal dispute or in an emergency situation where those that have responded to an ad may need to be notified critical information relating to that ad.
Your e-mail address is stored in our database for each classified ad you submit. This address is only used as a means for eBrandon to relay responses to your ad from your potential buyer to yourself. That address is never directly given to another user. It is internally used to link all ads you've posted on the "View all ads from this seller" page.
Sobkow Technologies also collect personally identifiable
data, such as names, addresses, e-mail addresses,
and the like, when voluntarily submitted by a
visitor as part of our various special feature
and contest sections. In the case of online promotions
and other activities, we do not condition a child's
participation on the child's disclosing more personal
information than is reasonably necessary to participate
in the activity.
You always have the right to request that contact
information regarding you or your child be deleted
from our database. To request deletion of your
or your child's contact information in our database,
please contact us using the information at the
bottom of this page for more information.
We reserve the right to change this policy at
any time by modifying this policy so all of our
web customers are aware of our online privacy
policy. Any questions or additional information
