What is Personal Information?

Personal information is recorded information about an identifiable individual, such as a name, address, birth date, personal email address or a personal telephone number. Personal information does not include certain types of “contact” information which enable individuals at a place of business to be contacted, such as an individual’s business position or title, name, business telephone number, business address, business email or business fax number.

In particular, during your use of the website, you may be asked to voluntarily provide personal information (such as your personal name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, fax number, login and password information, and credit card information). You can choose not to provide certain requested personal information, but then you may not be able to use certain services provided by CTgaragiste or access or use certain features of our website.

CTgaragiste will use your personal information for the original purpose it was collected or for a use consistent with that purpose unless you consent to another purpose, or as otherwise authorized by the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act or other applicable law.

Digital Markers (including Cookies)

A digital marker is created by a website visitor’s internet browser in order to maintain certain pieces of information for the website to reference during the same or subsequent visits. Examples of digital markers are “cookies” or HTML5 Web storage. Among other things, digital markers can allow a website to recognize a previous visit each time the visitor accesses the website, and track what information is viewed on a website.

CTgaragiste uses sessional and persistent digital markers on some portions of its website. Digital markers are created when you visit our website. Sessional markers exist only while you remain on our website, while persistent markers continue to exist after you have left our website.

During your visit, your internet browser exchanges data with CTgaragiste’s web server. However, the digital markers used by us do not allow us to identify individuals unless a visitor specifically informs us of their identity (for example, by sending us correspondence through the website).

We may use the website information generated through the use of digital markers, and share it with other organizations with whom we have a commercial relationship, to measure the use and to improve the functionality and content of our websites.

You may adjust your browser settings to reject digital markers, including cookies, if you so choose. However, if you refuse to accept cookies, you may not be able to use some of the features available on our websites.

Web Analytics

CTgaragiste utilizes web analytics tools, including Google Analytics, to gain insights into how its website is used with a view to measuring business performance and improving customers’ online experience. Web analytics tags are applied to CTgaragiste web pages to capture a limited amount of data which are used for aggregate reporting purposes.

The information captured by web analytics tools, including Google Analytics, includes the internet protocol address of the computer, device or network being used, domain name, type of computer or device, operating system, browser type, the origin of a referral to CTgaragiste’s website (called a traffic source; e.g., Google.com), users and number of sessions (called unique visitors and volume of visits), city/region/country of origin, pages viewed, session flow, products purchased, revenue generated and content downloaded. None of the information collected is personally identifiable by CTgaragiste or Google Analytics; however, this information could be processed outside Canada in any country where Google operates servers.

Analytics tools work by using cookies. As set out above, you may adjust your browser settings to reject digital markers, including cookies, if you so choose.
