1. Information We Collect

We collect information to deliver the products and services you request from us and to help improve your shopping experience. We collect information from you in a variety of ways when you interact with our Website.a. INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE

We receive, and may store, any information you provide to us through our Website. For example, we collect information that you provide when you create an account, place an order, register with us, submit materials to our Website, send us an email, call us, sign up for our email offers or enter a sweepstakes, if any exists. This information may include:

  • your name;
  • your mailing address;

  • your billing address;

  • your e-mail address;

  • your phone number; and
  • your credit card or payment information.

The information we collect may also include any other personal or preference information you provide to us, including a record of your online product purchases, your activity on the Website, and any items your submit or upload onto the Website. It may also include information you submit about other people, for example, the name and address of a gift recipient.

b. AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED INFORMATION

Our servers automatically receive certain types of information whenever you interact with us through our Website. For example, when you visit the Website, our system automatically recognizes and collect information about your domain name, date and time of visits, the type of browser you use, the website from which your visit originated, page visits, time spent on our Website, and other similar traffic data. No personal information about you is revealed in this process. This information may be used by us to operate the Website and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the Website.

You also provide us information in other ways through technology. Some of this information may be linked to you personally. This information helps our Websites and services work correctly and supports our customer marketing and analytics efforts – our work to understand our customers’ needs and provide information about our products and services. Here are some examples:

  • Device Information: We collect technical information when you visit our Website or use our services. This includes information such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the type of computer or mobile device you use, your device operating system and browser type, a unique device identifier, the address of a referring website, the path you take through our Websites, and other information about your session on our Websites.
  • Browsing Information: We use technologies such as cookies, web beacons, and mobile device identifiers to collect information about the use of our Websites and mobile services. Cookies allow us to provide you relevant information as you use or return to our Website. Web beacons allow us to know if a certain page was visited, an email was opened, or if ad banners on our Websites and other sites were effective. We use these tools to provide a continuous and more personalized shopping experience for you. See “What Are Your Choices?” below for more information.

c. COOKIES

Our Website uses “cookies” to customize your shopping experience or to keep track of your shopping cart. “Cookies” are pieces of information that are sent to your browser and stored in your computer's hard drive. Cookies enable us to more easily communicate and interact with you. You may disallow cookies through your web browser and still browse and shop on our Website. Certain features and functions of the Website may not be available or function properly if you disallow cookies.

Once placed onto your machine, the cookie will allow the Website to “recognize” you as a unique individual. We use these cookies to associate individual customers with their information profiles and to track the uses of the webpages on our Website. No personal information of any kind is stored in these cookies.

Third party websites and advertisers, or Internet advertising companies working on their behalf, may also use technology to send (or "serve") the advertisements that appear on the Website directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalise advertising content. We do not have access to or control over third party cookies or other features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third party websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.

You can opt-out of cookies for some third party ad servers and networks by using opt-out tools created by the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (https://youradchoices.ca/) or the Network Advertising Initiative (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1). Opting out of a network means that network will no longer deliver ads tailored to your web preferences and usage patterns; it does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising.

d. INFORMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES

We may obtain information about you from outside sources and combine it with other information we have collected about you. For example, we sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.

We use the personally identifiable information you provide to:

  • provide the features and functionality of the Website;

  • for our internal business purposes, such as data analysis, audits and so forth;
  • help us create content that is most relevant to you; and
  • provide notices about the results of sweepstakes, contest, and other promotions for and on behalf of our Website.

We also use your email address to communicate with you about your account and to send you certain notifications and, if you have opted-in for them, marketing emails.

When you purchase products from the Website, we may use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send marketing messages and notifications from time-to-time whether or not you created an account with us.

When you upload a file or design, post a comment or message on the Website, provide information in connection with features such as rewards clubs, wish lists, forums, member profiles, or reviews and recommendations, your user name may be visible to other users or members of the public.

Additionally, if your comment or message contains personally identifiable information and is posted by you in a portion of the Website that is accessible to the public or other Website users, third parties may see that information, make note of the information, and you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties as a result. Any content or information you upload that is visible to third parties may be read, collected, and used by others who access them.

In such cases, we require that these parties agree to use the information solely for the purpose for which we provided it to them and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We do not knowingly collect information from any child under the age of 13 at this Website, nor do we send email correspondence to anyone who tells us that they are under the age of 13.

c. CORRECTING OR UPDATING INFORMATION

If you have registered with us, you may contact us through email support@mixam.ca to correct any information you have provided. The length of time we keep your information will vary depending on the nature of your transactions on the Website and information involved. We have retention standards that meet customer service, legal and regulatory needs. For these reasons, we may keep your information beyond the end of your relationship with us. When your information is no longer required, we will dispose of it with appropriate care and diligence.

5. Security

If you choose to interact with our Website, complete a transaction on our Website, and/or provide your information, we will always exercise care in protecting your information and will not publicly share any of your information, except as identified in this Privacy Policy.

In addition, if you create an account on the Website, account information is password-protected for your privacy and security. You should always take steps to protect the confidentiality of the password you select. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer. You are responsible for any access to or use of the Website by you or another person or entity using your information or account, whether or not such access or use has been authorized by or on behalf of you. Please notify us of any unauthorized use of your information or any other breach of security.

We endeavour (and require our third-party providers to endeavour) to protect the information you provide to us by using technologies designed to secure your information as it transmits to us over the Internet and once it is on our systems. But because of the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that such information stored on servers supporting this Website, transmitted to or from a user, or otherwise in our care (or our third-party providers’ care) will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers. By using the Website, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.

We operate in the United States and many of our computer systems are currently based in the United States. As a result, your personal data will be processed by us in the United States where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world, such as the European Union or Canada. If you create a user account with us, you agree to this Privacy Policy and you consent to the transfer of all information you provide to us in the United States.

You may also choose not to provide us with certain information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of our Website because such information may be required in order for you to: register an account; purchase products or services; participate in a contest, promotion, survey, or sweepstakes; ask a question; or initiate other transactions on our Website.

We work very hard to protect your privacy, but we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will always remain private. While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee complete security. If you have any questions about security on our Website, you can contact us at support@mixam.ca.

6. Updates To This Policy

Material updates and changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on our Website and will be effective from the date they are posted, unless otherwise noted. Revised versions of this Privacy Policy will apply to all current and past users of the Website and supersede any versions that were previously in effect.

7. Your Consent

By using our Website, you consent to our use of information that is collected or submitted as described in this online Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is subject to change, so we encourage you to review it periodically
