privacy policy

This privacy statement is applicable to Leonbrown.ca and all of its affiliates.
Leonbrown.ca does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. Leonbrown.ca's policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. Leonbrown.ca does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals except when such individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis. For example, such personally identifiable information may be gathered from a contest or sweepstakes registration, the purchase of products or services offered on the site, the registration process for subscription sites or services and in connection with content submissions, community postings (e.g., chat and bulletin boards), suggestions, voting/polling activities and transactional areas. Personally identifiable information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection but may be shared with the applicable online partner collecting such personally identifiable information. At such points of collection, the user may have the opportunity to indicate whether he or she would like to "opt out" of receiving promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services and offerings from Leonbrown.ca and/or any third parties.
Further, notwithstanding any opt out of promotional information by the user, Leonbrown.ca reserves the right to contact a subscriber regarding account status, changes to the subscriber agreement and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected. Leonbrown.ca may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Leonbrown.ca's rights or property, other users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Leonbrown.ca may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. Leonbrown.ca reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners. Leonbrown.ca will provide only aggregated data from these analyses to third parties. Also, users should be aware that Leonbrown.ca might sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based services through Leonbrown.ca site. Leonbrown.ca is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties and users should check the applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally identifiable information.
Users should be aware that when you are on Leonbrown.ca site you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from Leonbrown.ca site that take you outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement, the "click" takes you off Leonbrown.ca site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use a logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information. Always be aware of where you end up. Additionally, users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g., user name, e-mail address) on bulletin boards or in the chat areas of Leonbrown.ca's site, if any, that information, along with any substantive information disclosed in the user's communication, can be collected and correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Leonbrown.ca.
Users also should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of Leon A Brown Ltd. Software’s internet servers or through the use of "cookies." Cookies are small text files a web site can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use of the site and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising. Cookies are not programs that come onto a user's system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. Users should be aware that Leonbrown.ca cannot or does not control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for Leonbrown.ca. If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information and ordering on the ecommerce shopping cart) available on Leonbrown.ca's site. Leonbrown.ca will use reasonable efforts to allow users to update/correct personal information previously submitted which the user states is erroneous to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or security interests. Also, upon a user's request, Leonbrown.ca will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally delete the user and his or her personal information from its database; however, it may be impossible to delete a user's entry without some residual information because of backups and records of deletions. The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers, utilizing encryption software. Only those employees who need access to your information in order to do their jobs are allowed access, each having signed compressive nondisclosure agreements, which provides explicit legal confidentiality protections.
