PRIVACY POLICY
Our Privacy Commitment
At RECYC-IT we know how important it is to protect your personal information. Whether you are shopping with us online or using our recycling services we want to make every customer experience safe and secure. In keeping with that goal, we have developed this Privacy Policy to outline our guidelines for the collection and use of personal information by RECYC-IT.
Who is RECYC-IT?
RECYC-IT and RECYC-IT.ca are divisions of Richmond, Quebec-based recycling, recuperation & resale company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RECYC-IT. This policy applies to RECYC-IT, and all of its divisions.
What Information does RECYC-IT Collect and How is it Used?
At RECYC-IT, we collect two types of information: personal information and non-personal information.
With your consent we may use your personal information for a number of different purposes, for example to:
fulfill requests for products, services or information;
provide customer services;
administer contests or promotions;
offer new products and services;
measure and improve the effectiveness of our Web Sites or our marketing endeavors; and
tailor our online store offerings to your preferences.
We may also collect and summarize customer information in a format that no longer identifies the individual for statistical purposes.
Personal information typically includes your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. You can always choose not to provide us with any of your personal information. However, if you make this choice we may not be able to provide you with the product, service, or information that you requested. For example, we can only offer you an account if you have provided us with certain financial information.
Non-personal information does not identify you as an individual. For example, we may ask you for your postal code to assist us with planning our flyer distribution.
Your Implied Consent
In some cases, your consent is implied if we ask you to provide personal information with a stated purpose. For example, we can only deliver the product you have purchased if you provide us with your address and phone number.
Your Express Consent
In other cases, we will ask you to give your express consent to use your personal information to advise you of products or services that may be of interest. You always have the opportunity to "opt out" of having your information used for this purpose. For example, when you subscribe to the RECYC-IT newsletter, we will also ask for your express consent to send you promotional information.
Withdrawing Your Consent
If you have "opted in" or subscribed to one of our newsletters or mailing lists, we will always provide you the opportunity to "opt out" or unsubscribe. For example, each e-mail we send you will tell you how to decline further e-mail.
Information RECYC-IT Collects from You
Listed here are some examples of the ways that we collect information about you and how we use it.
On-Line Purchases
When you purchase a RECYC-IT product or service, you may need to provide us with contact and payment information (such as credit card information) so that we can process your request. Examples where we need contact information include delivery services, product servicing, in-home installations, warranty coverage, and rebate requests. If we collect this information, we will also ask for your consent to use this information to send you promotional information on products and services.
Applying for the RECYC-IT account
When you apply for a RECYC-IT account, certain contact and financial information is collected and reviewed by our finacial services, to approve, establish and maintain accounts. Each account has its own privacy policy which governs its relationship with you. We encourage you to read the privacy statement provided on your account application.
Our Web Sites
While using our Web Sites, you may be asked to voluntarily provide certain personal information (such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, or credit card information). We use this information to complete your transaction and to apply for access to certain special features and functions of the Web Sites.
