Marcus Design Inc Privacy Policy  

 

Our privacy policy tells you what personal data (PD) and non-personal data (NPD) Marcus Design Inc may collect from you, how we collect it, how we protect it, how we may share it, and how you can access, change, or delete it. Our privacy policy also explains certain legal rights that you have with respect to your personal data. If at any time you have questions about our practices or any of your rights described below, please write to us by email at [email protected]

 

DEFINITIONS

  • ‘Non-personal data’ (NPD) is information that is in no way personally identifiable.
  • ‘Personal data’ (PD) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Personal Data is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). However, Personal Data is broader in scope and covers more data.
  • A “visitor” is someone who merely browses our website. A “user” is someone who has registered with us to use or buy our services and products.

 

OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA (Canadian Individuals Only)

Our privacy policy is subject to and is compliant with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act in Canada ( PIPEDA).
