Megapro Marketing Inc. Privacy Policy
Effective as of February 10, 2012
The privacy of your Personal Information is important to us at Megapro. As part of our commitment to the privacy of your Personal Information that we collect online through our website (www.megapro.net), we provide this privacy policy explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your Personal Information is collected and used at this site. We are committed to complying with British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (the ‘Act’) and all other applicable privacy laws.
This Privacy Policy applies only within this website and other pages where this policy appears. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where Personal Information is requested.
Consent
Please read this policy carefully. Your use of this website constitutes your consent to the information collection, use, and disclosure practices described below.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
You may be asked to provide Personal Information on this website, which may include your name, address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address. (Required items are marked with *.) This information can be gathered when comments or e-mails are sent to Megapro.net. The information collected by our site is used to process catalog requests, to notify you of products, special offers, announcements, and for statistical purposes for improving our site.
If you do provide us with your Personal Information, you agree that we may contact you to provide you with information we believe may be of interest to you. In all such cases you have the option of providing us with Personal Information. You may always choose not to provide the requested information, but you then may not be able to participate in the particular activity that requires such information.
Unless required by law, we will not use or disclose Personal Information already collected for other purposes unless we obtain the consent of the individual to whom it belongs. If you do not wish to receive further communications from www.Megapro.net, please contact us by postal mail, e-mail or telephone at:

ACCESSING AND UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION
Once collected, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your Personal Information either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes.
Some of our services have different procedures to access, correct or delete users’ Personal Information. We do retain Personal Information from closed accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our policies and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.
We will store your information for a reasonable period of time for record keeping purposes. The information that we store is sometimes deleted as space requires or in the normal course of business.
We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required.
In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.
DISCLOSURE
Except as otherwise stated below, we do not disclose your Personal Information collected on the site to others.
We may share information with governmental agencies or other companies assisting us in fraud prevention or investigation. We may do so when: (1) permitted or required by law; or, (2) trying to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud or unauthorized transactions; or, (3) investigating fraud which has already taken place. The information is not provided to these companies for marketing purposes.
COOKIES AND PASSIVE WEBSITE TRACKING
This website may “passively” collect certain kinds of information during your visit, including cookies and passive website tracking depending on the features offered.
“Cookies” are small text files sent from a website to the hard drive of a user’s computer to store bits of information related to that user. Cookies can store a variety of information, including IP addresses, navigational data, server information, data transfer times, and user preferences. We also use cookies to create a more personalized experience on our Site for visitors. Cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
Passive web site tracking on this website includes using Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and log files to identify server problems, to improve site content, and compile aggregated statistics about Web site usage (such as browser type and operating system, tracking the number of visitors to the Site, and understanding how visitors use the Site) and clickstream data.
Megapro also reserves the right to introduce new passive tracking technologies and techniques related to the use of this website. We do not link your identity with information that we collect passively.
SECURITY
We maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect Personal Information. All collected information is stored in a technically and physically secure environment. While we use SSL encryption to protect Sensitive Information online, we also do everything in our power to protect Personal Information off-line. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect our end-users’ Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
THIRD PARTIES AND LINKS TO OTHER SITES
We provide links to Web sites outside of our web site, as well as to third party Web sites. These linked sites are not under our control, and we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct of companies linked to our website. Before disclosing your Personal Information on any other website, we advise you to examine the terms and conditions of using that Web site and its privacy statement.
SURVEYS & CONTESTS
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Contact information will be shared with the contest and survey sponsors to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users’ Personal Information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users’ personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
This website is not intended for visitors that are minors or under eighteen (18) years of age. Megapro does not knowingly solicit or collect information from individuals under the age of eighteen (18). If we determine that we have inadvertently collected Personal Information from someone under eighteen (18) years of age, we will take reasonable steps to purge this information from our database. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate and monitor the Internet activities of their children.
NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES AND AMENDMENTS
Megapro reserves the right to change or update this Privacy Policy at any time by posting a clear and conspicuous notice on the Web site explaining that we are changing our Privacy Policy. All Privacy Policy changes will take effect immediately upon their posting on the Website. Please check the Website periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the Web site and/or acceptance of our e-mail communications following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of any and all changes.
