By Submitting User Content on our Platform, you grant the addy a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid up, royalty-free, assignable, transferable, and sub-licensable (through multiple tiers) license to exploit, use, access, store, reproduce, adapt, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, modify, repost, publish, sublicense, create derivative works from, and distribute your User Content, subject to these Terms, without any notice or compensation to you or any other person (the “User Content License”). You represent, and warrant to addy that you have all the rights, power, and authority necessary to grant the User Content License and that any User Content you submit to us or otherwise post on the Platform is and shall be your own original work or work which you are authorized to supply to us. You also irrevocably and unconditionally waive all moral rights you may now or in the future have in any such User Content. You agree that addy owns all data, information, materials, derivative works, and content derived or created from or using the User Content (“Derivative Content”).

9.2 Responsibility. You understand that all User Content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted when posting, sharing, displaying, sending or submitting material using the Platform, is the sole responsibility of the person from whom it originated. This means that you, and not addy, are entirely responsible: (i) for all User Content that you upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise make available via the Platform or Products; and (ii) for ensuring that all User Content is accurate, lawful, and does not include misleading information or infringe or violate anyone’s rights. addy does not control the User Content posted via the Platform and, therefore, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of any User Content. You therefore agree that you will not hold addy responsible or liable for any inaccuracies or for any errors or omissions in any User Content, or for any loss, injury or damages of any kind incurred as a result of the use of or reliance upon any User Content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Platform or Services.

9.3 Removal of Content. Please note that posted or transmitted User Content does not necessarily reflect the views of addy, and addy disclaims all responsibility for any such User Content and for any losses or expenses resulting from its use. You acknowledge that addy does not pre-screen, monitor, or modify User Content, but that addy has the right (but not the obligation) to refuse, remove, modify, or delete any User Content that is available via the Platform that violates these Terms, or is otherwise objectionable, in our discretion. 

9.4 Data Security. You agree and acknowledge that the Platform is not a secure means of communication and any information or content you supply to us, including User Content will not be kept confidential. For that reason, you should not submit or send to us any information, written or oral, which you regard as confidential or commercially sensitive or valuable. You agree and acknowledge we shall not be subject to any obligation of confidentiality nor be liable for any use and/or disclosure of any information you provide to us.

9.5 Data Backup. While the Platform may provide for storage of User Content, it does not replace the need for you to independently maintain regular data backups or redundant data archives.  You also agree and acknowledge that in the event your Account is terminated for any reason, addy shall have no obligation to continue to store your User Content, and such content may be irretrievably deleted by us without notice to you.  Without limiting article 11 you agree that addy has no obligation or liability for any loss, alteration, destruction, damage, corruption, or recovery of your User Content.

Personally Identifiable Information: addyinvest.ca may share your personally identifiable information with third parties for the purpose of providing services to you. We may store personally identifiable information in locations outside the direct control of the Service (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers).

As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution.

We may share your personally identifiable information with business partners who assist us by performing services such as ID verification or data storage as well as security related to our operation of the Site. Those business partners have all agreed to uphold the same standards of security and confidentiality that we’ve promised to you in this Privacy Policy; and they will only use your personally identifiable information to carry out their specific business obligations to us.

addyinvest.ca may be required to disclose personally identifiable information by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our site; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of addyinvest.ca, our users or others.

We may share non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns for certain addyinvest.ca services.

Non-personally identifiable information may be collected about your usage of the Site and aggregated with data from other users (“Aggregate Data”). This Aggregate Data is anonymous. Aggregate Data is collected to build higher quality, more useful services by performing statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our users. We may provide statistical information based on this data to advertisers and other current and potential business partners.

How We Protect Your Information

addyinvest.ca uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personally identifiable information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to addyinvest.ca and you do so at your own risk. Please note that we cannot guarantee the security of account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time; there is no guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your account. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from addyinvest.ca, at all times.

Unauthorized Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information

In the event that personally identifiable information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, addyinvest.ca will promptly notify those persons whose personally identifiable information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Your Choices About Your Personally Identifiable Information

You may decline to submit personally identifiable information through addyinvest.ca and may withdraw your consent to us collecting, using or disclosing your personally identifiable information at any time by giving us reasonable notice, unless doing so will frustrate performance of a legal obligation (such a contract between you and our organization).

If you decline to submit information through addyinvest.ca or withdraw your consent for us to collect, use or disclose personally identifiable information you have previously provided to us, we may not be able to provide certain services to you.

Retention of Your Personally Identifiable Information

As required by PIPA, we will keep personally identifiable information used to make a decision that directly affects you for at least one year after we make that decision. Subject to the one-year retention requirement under PIPA, we will only retain personally identifiable information for as long as necessary to fulfil the identified purposes under this Privacy Policy or for as long as required by applicable laws or for another legal or business purpose.

Accuracy of Your Personally Identifiable Information

We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the personally identifiable information we collect, use or disclose is accurate and complete, but cannot necessarily verify the personally identifiable information you provide to us. If you wish to correct any errors or omissions in your personally identifiable information that is under our control, contact us using the information below.

If we are satisfied that your request for correction is reasonable, we will, as soon as reasonably possible, correct the personally identifiable information and send the updated personally identifiable information to each organization it was disclosed to in the year before the correction is made. If we do not correct your personally identifiable information, we will note the requested correction on copies of the personally identifiable information under our custody or control.

You have the right to access your personally identifiable information under our custody or control. A request for access to your personally identifiable information must be made in writing to the address below. We may require individuals to prove their identity before giving you access to your personally identifiable information.

We will provide you with: your personally identifiable information under our control, information about the ways in which such information is or has been used, and the names of the individuals and organizations to which such information has been disclosed. We will provide the requested personally identifiable information within 30 business days after it is requested or give you written notice if we need more time to respond.

PIPA allows us to charge a minimal fee for providing you with access to your personally identifiable information. If a fee is required, we will give you a written fee estimate in advance. We may require payment the fee before releasing the requested personally identifiable information.

In some cases, we may not give an individual access to certain personally identifiable information where authorized or required by PIPA to refuse access. If we refuse an access request, we will inform you in writing, stating the reasons for our refusal and outlining further steps that are available to you.
