At MarketLinc, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information that you share with us. We've adopted the Canadian Standards Association's "Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information" as the basis of our own MarketLinc Privacy Code. The CSA Model Code sets the principles for collection, protection, and use/disclosure of our customers' and prospects' personal information. The CSA Model Code also forms the basis for the "Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act", the Canadian Federal Government's privacy legislation which came into effect January 1, 2001.

The following is a brief summary of our privacy policy. This text is set forth so that you understand why and how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information.

Collection and Use of Personal Information
MarketLinc will not collect, use or disclose your personal information without your consent. When personal information is collected, we will inform you, at the point of collection, of our reasons for the collection. Personal information is defined as any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, email address, physical address, other contact information, title, birth date, gender, occupation, industry, personal interests, or other information needed to provide you with a service on request.

MarketLinc uses information for several general purposes:
     • to understand your needs and preferences in order to serve you better
     • to establish and maintain a relationship with you and to provide ongoing service
     • to assist with the development and enhancement of services we provide
     • to market our services
     • to ensure you are kept informed (via e-newsletters, and other means) regarding new developments and enhancements of our services

When you browse our Web site, you do so anonymously, unless you previously indicated that you wish MarketLinc to remember your login and password.

Disclosure and Security of Personal Information
Your personal information is never shared outside MarketLinc. Inside MarketLinc, data is stored in controlled servers with limited access. We will however disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, to enforce our Terms of Use, or in urgent circumstances, to protect personal safety, the public or our Web site.

We will strive to keep your personal information current and accurate, and will honor any request you make for access to your personal information.

Protection of Children's Personal Information
MarketLinc.com is a general audience site - we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Use of Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of MarketLinc's Web site use cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our site information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.

If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our Web site, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookies when your browser alerts you to their presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full advantage of MarketLinc's Web site should you do so. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use/navigate through many parts of our site, except those pages that require a login and password.

Third Party Sites
MarketLinc's Web site may contain links to other sites. MarketLinc does not share your personal information with those sites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

MarketLinc will amend this policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes we will post a notice on this site.
