This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes the privacy practices of the NORTHERNEXPRESSIONSART.CA website (the “Website”). The Policy applies to all the types of information collected from you while you are using the Website and to the way in which Northern Expressions uses and shares this information.

Please read the following carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding the treatment of personal information. This Policy does not apply to the information you provide to Northern Expressions or to the information that Northern Expressions may collect offline and/or through other means.

Northern Expressions does not collect your personal information from you without your knowledge or permission and does not ask you for such information to access and use the Website.

Like many websites, the Website may actively collect and store personal information that you supply voluntarily while on the Website, including sharing webpages via e-mail or by permitting you to communicate directly with Northern Expressions via e-mail in connection with the Website.

 Northern Expressions may collect the following information from you:

  • The Website may use “cookies” to collect information about how the Website is used which allows Northern Expressions to enhance your experience and the Website's user-friendliness. A "cookie" is a bit of information that a web browser can store on your hard drive that helps the Website remember information about you and your preferences. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your e-mail address. If you are simply browsing the Website, a cookie only identifies your browser.
  • Pages of the Website may contain electronic images known as web beacons (also referred to as single-pixel gifs) that permit Northern Expressions to count users who have visited those pages and for other related Website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain Website content and verifying system and server integrity). Web beacons are not used to access your personal information and data on the Website and are only used to compile aggregated statistics concerning use of the Website.

The Website is not intended for children under the age of 13. No one under the age of 13 may provide personal information and data to the Website and Northern Expressions will not knowingly collect information from Website visitors in this age group.

Subject to the terms of this Policy, Northern Expressions may use your information and personal data to improve the content of the Website, to customize the Website to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Policy. Any information and personal data you provide through the Website will not be sold, rented or published.

In addition, Northern Expressions may disclose your information and personal data to third parties listed below, all of which agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy:

Security

Protecting your information and personal data is of primary concern to Northern Expressions. The information and personal data that is collected is stored on secure servers and Northern Expressions otherwise takes reasonable precautions to protect it.

However, Northern Expressions cannot warrant and does not represent that our level of security meets or exceeds any specific standards. No Internet transmission is 100% secure, nor is stored data free from vulnerabilities. Northern Expressions cannot guarantee the security of the Website, databases or services, nor can Northern Expressions guarantee that the personal information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet. Northern Expressions is not responsible for the actions of third parties.

Right of Access, Modification, Correction and Removal
