Privacy Policy

Effective: March 11th, 2020

BeTheBoss ("Us", "We", "Our") is committed to protecting your privacy and we comply with the data protection laws applicable to Canada. This Privacy Policy outlines how your personal information is collected, used and shared when visiting our Web site www.betheboss.ca.

What information do we collect?

When you request more information from a company that appears on our site, you are asked to fill out a request form or our advertising form. We will ask for your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and what capital you may have to invest. The details submitted in this form will be stored on H.A. Bruno's server in the USA and you will become a registered user of BeTheBoss.ca.

How do we use your information?

When you click to request more information from a company, we will pass your registered details on to that company. This allows the company to contact you in order to pursue your interest in that company. These third parties may choose to market to you directly, in which case you will need to opt-out directly with these third parties. We use the information collected from you to improve the service we offer on our website and use aggregated statistics to help companies to improve the effectiveness of their page(s) on our site. If you do not want us to share your information with third parties, please do not fill out the Request Info Forms.

We will use the information collected on our advertising opportunities form to contact you regarding advertising on our site and to fulfill your requests.

Communications from the Site

We will send you a welcoming email to verify that you are who you say you are as well as emails confirming receipt of requests for information for brands on our site. We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the services you request. We will communicate with you by email or telephone, in accordance with your wishes.

We will send you service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email.

Your registration on the site automatically registers you to receive newsletters and emails with information about the companies on our site. If you are registered to receive our newsletter, we will use your name and email address to send the newsletter to you. Out of respect for your privacy, we provide you a way to unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions located in each newsletter.

Social Media (Features) and Widgets:

Our Web site includes Social Media Features, such as the Facebook Like button and Widgets, such as the Share this button or interactive mini-programs that run on our site. These Features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

We have a very strict privacy policy:

1. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We will only share your information with third parties as disclosed within this privacy policy.

2. We will only email you our newsletter if you agree to receiving it by registering for the site, and only until you decide to opt out by unsubscribing (details of how to do this are in every email sent).

3. We will occasionally send you information about franchise events and opportunities, upcoming exhibitions, special offers on publications and other franchise related subjects, only until you decide to opt out of email communications which you may do by following the instructions located at the bottom of each communication.

4. We may provide your personal information to companies that provide services to help us with our business activities such as offering customer service and sending you newsletters and other emails on our behalf. These companies are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

5. We may also disclose your personal information as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

6. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, you will be notified via email and/or prominent notice on our Web site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information

Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file written to your hard drive that contains information about you. We use cookies so that we can personalize your experience of the site. If you set up your browser to reject the cookie, you may still use the Website. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personal information you submit while on our site.

The use of third-party cookies is not covered by our privacy policy. We do not have access or control over these cookies.

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)

Our third-party tracking service employs a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers' personal information.

• Behavioral Targeting / Re-Targeting

We partner with a third-party ad network to either display advertising on our Web site or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partner uses cookies and Web beacons to collect non-personal information about your activities on this and other Web sites to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt-out by clicking Here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.
