Privacy Policy

Introduction

The Peak is owned by The Peak Media Collective Inc. This policy governs The Peak's use of personal information.

What is personal information?

Personal information is information that can be linked to an individual. For example, if you contact us by email, we consider your email to be personal information, even if it does not include your name. 

How we collect your information

Most of the personal information we have about you will be collected directly from you in order to maintain our relationship. For example, you may be asked for your name and email in order to receive our newsletter. We also use third party services, for example to provide us with some details about visitors to our website.

Third Party Services

We use third party services to communicate with you, facilitate financial transactions, conduct advertising, and maintain our website. When we engage a third-party service, we do so on the understanding that any personal information collected by that party will only be stored, used and disclosed in compliance with the applicable privacy law(s).

How we use and keep your information 

We use personal information collected from you when you sign up to our newsletter, respond to surveys and promotional offers and use our website in order to:

  • Communicate with you via email;
  • Personalize your experience by showing you content that will be most interesting to you; 
  • Improve our website and content selection; and,
  • Undertake marketing and promotions.

We will not use your information for any additional purposes without your explicit consent. Your information may be stored on and communicated to servers outside of Canada (and, for Quebec residents, outside of Quebec).

Disclosure

We will not sell your personal information, but we may disclose limited information to third party platforms for advertising and promotional purposes.

We will not otherwise disclose your information unless we first ask for your consent, if we are legally required to do so, or in exceptional circumstances where there is a serious threat to security. 

Cookies 

Cookies are small files that are placed on your computer when you visit a website such as ours and that help us to recognize repeat visitors and track interactions on our website. We use cookies to personalize your experience and to develop and promote our content. For example, we use cookies to compile aggregate, non-personal information about how many people are visiting our site and which pages they viewed. You can choose to disable cookies at any time.  

Security

We use password-protected, restricted access services to keep your data secure. Employees and contractors who have access to your personal information are trained on how to keep this information secure. When you interact with our website, your traffic is encrypted, protecting it from third party surveillance.

Accuracy and access to your personal information 

To access personal information about you stored in our database, or to correct this information you can make a written request by emailing [email protected]

You can unsubscribe from communications from us at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any of our emails. You can request that your data be deleted from our database by emailing [email protected].
