In this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means information about an identifiable individual, such as an individual’s name and email address, but does not include (to the extent permitted by law) information that is publicly available in a telephone directory or that is business contact information that enables an individual to be contacted at a place of business.

(a) Information You Provide You may be asked to voluntarily give your personal information to a MIDPOINT ALLIANCE when you interact with the MIDPOINT ALLIANCE, including when you apply for an account or membership, subscribe to a newsletter, register to receive information, apply or register for or order a product or service offered by a MIDPOINT ALLIANCE or use a product or service provided by a MIDPOINT ALLIANCE. In those circumstances, you can choose not to provide certain requested personal information, but then you might not be able to proceed with your intended interaction or transaction with the MIDPOINT ALLIANCE or otherwise receive the full benefit of the desired product or service.

(b) Automated Collection MIDPOINT ALLIANCE may automatically collect certain information regarding your use of the MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s website or online service, such as the dates and times that you access the website or online service, the browsers, operating systems, software and devices that you use to access the website or online service and details of your use of the website or online service. MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s websites, online services, email messages and advertisements may use technologies (e.g. cookies, web beacons, tokens, pixels or tags) to collect information that assists the MIDPOINT ALLIANCE to improve its products, services, customer communications and advertising and to prevent fraud. MIDPOINT ALLIANCE may use information that it collects through technological means to recognize you as a user of the MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s websites or online services, to facilitate and improve your use of the MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s websites or online services, to confirm that messages have been delivered to and opened by you and to provide you with targeted advertisements. You may choose to decline or disable cookies if your web browser or device permits, but doing so may affect your ability to access or use certain features of a website or online service. More information about cookies used for interest-based advertising is set out in section 4(c) below. Much of the information that is automatically collected by technological means is non-personal information (because the information does not identify you), and MIDPOINT ALLIANCE will deal with that non-personal information as explained below in this Privacy Policy unless applicable law requires otherwise.

(c) Credit Reports When you apply or register for, order or use certain products or services from a MIDPOINT ALLIANCE (e.g. a referral to a car dealer for a financed car purchase), the MIDPOINT ALLIANCE may obtain your credit score and related information from a credit reporting agency to process or fulfill the transaction, and the MIDPOINT ALLIANCE may also use the credit score and related information to update your confidential profile for use by MIDPOINT ALLIANCE as set out in this Privacy Policy. Upon your request we will inform you if we have ordered such a report, and will give you the name and address of the credit reporting agency that furnished the report. You also acknowledge and agree that any dealers or other persons or organizations to which we have disclosed your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, may request a credit report for any legitimate purpose associated with your application [for credit, extending credit, modifying the terms of your credit agreement, or collection on your account.]

(d) Information Regarding Referred Transactions If MIDPOINT ALLIANCE refers you to an independent business (e.g. a car dealer, lender or credit card company) for a proposed transaction (e.g. a car purchase, loan or credit card), then the MIDPOINT ALLIANCE may collect from that independent business information regarding the transaction to update your confidential profile for use by MIDPOINT ALLIANCE as set out in this Privacy Policy.

MIDPOINT ALLIANCE and its service providers may process, store and use your personal information at facilities in various countries, including Canada, the United States of America and one or more countries in Europe or Asia. The personal information protection laws of those other countries might be different from the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside, and might permit courts, government, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies and security authorities to access your personal information without notice. By providing your personal information to MIDPOINT ALLIANCE, you consent to the transfer of the personal information to facilities located in other countries and the processing and storage of the personal information at those facilities.

MIDPOINT ALLIANCE retains your personal information for the period reasonably necessary for the purposes set out or referenced in this Privacy Policy and to comply with MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s legal obligations or enforce or protect MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s legal rights, or a longer period required or permitted by applicable law. MIDPOINT ALLIANCE will delete or dispose of your personal information when MIDPOINT ALLIANCE is no longer reasonably required to retain the information for the purposes set out or referenced in this Privacy Policy.

MIDPOINT ALLIANCE uses reasonable safeguards – including administrative, physical and technical security and safeguarding measures – appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information in MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s possession or under MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s control to help protect the information from unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, disposal or similar risks. Nevertheless, security risks cannot be eliminated and MIDPOINT ALLIANCE cannot guarantee that your personal information will not be used, disclosed or deleted in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

MIDPOINT ALLIANCE will rely on you to ensure that your personal information that you provide to Canada Drives Group is as accurate, complete and up to date as necessary for the purposes for which MIDPOINT ALLIANCE uses the personal information. You will promptly notify MIDPOINT ALLIANCE of any changes to your personal information using the procedures made available for that purpose by MIDPOINT ALLIANCE or by contacting MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s customer service. You may reasonably request access to your personal information collected by MIDPOINT ALLIANCE and information about MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s use, disclosure and retention of that personal information by submitting a written request to MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s Chief Privacy Officer using the contact information noted below. Subject to applicable exceptions and limitations prescribed by applicable law, you will be given reasonable access to your personal information and you will be entitled to verify the accuracy and completeness of your personal information and to have the information revised as appropriate. You may be required to pay a reasonable fee for access to your personal information. MIDPOINT ALLIANCE may decline to process a request that is unreasonably repetitive, frivolous, vexatious or impracticable, that infringes or jeopardizes the privacy of other persons, or for other reasons permitted by applicable law.

MIDPOINT ALLIANCE creates and collects non-personal information (information that is not about an identifiable individual), including personal information that has been aggregated or otherwise depersonalized so that the information no longer relates to an identifiable individual. MIDPOINT ALLIANCE may use, disclose, transfer and retain non-personal information for any purpose and in any manner whatsoever. If non-personal information is combined with personal information, then MIDPOINT ALLIANCE will treat the combined non-personal information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy for as long as the non-personal information is combined.

MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s websites and correspondence (including emails and messages) may include advertisements for products and services (e.g. car sales, personal loans and credit cards) offered by independent businesses or links to websites operated by independent businesses (e.g. car dealers, lenders and credit card providers). MIDPOINT ALLIANCE has no responsibility or liability for, or control over, those other websites, online services or businesses, their products or services, or their collection, use, disclosure or retention of your personal information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information by those websites, online services and independent businesses. If you have questions about how those websites, online services or independent businesses collect, use, disclose or retain personal information, please contact the owner or operator of the website, service or business.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of those provisions applies to any dispute that may arise in relation to this Privacy Policy or MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information, and are of the same force and effect as if they had been reproduced directly in this Privacy Policy. Nothing in this Privacy Policy amends any of those other agreements.

(b) Changes to this Policy: MIDPOINT ALLIANCE may change this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting a new version of this Privacy Policy on the MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s website. MIDPOINT ALLIANCE’s collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information will be governed by the version of this Privacy Policy in effect at that time. Your continued dealings with a MIDPOINT ALLIANCE after any change to this Privacy Policy will signify your consent to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information as set out in the changed Privacy Policy. Accordingly, you should check the “Last Updated” date of this Privacy Policy (at the top of this Privacy Policy) and review any changes since the last version.
