We have implemented these practices for the BreakOut West Website (breakoutwest.ca) and for other promotional websites as we may publish from time to time.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

We may use and disclose personal information with respect to the provision of goods or services for our customer’s benefit. We may also use and disclose personal information for the purpose of providing a list of winners names in association with contests that we may run from time to time. By entering into one of our contests or requesting that we provide you with goods or services, you hereby consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for these purposes.
Website Usage Information
You may browse our website without providing personal information. However, as is common with most websites, we automatically collect certain non-identifying technical information about your visit. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, date and time of access, referring website, and general location (such as city or region).
We use this information to understand how our website is used, improve its performance and content, and enhance the user experience. This information is generally aggregated and does not identify you personally.
E-mail Address
We only collect e-mail addresses which are volunteered by the consumer through e-mail messages to our organization, through surveys, through form submissions or through competition registrations.
We do not collect, retain, use or disclose e-mail addresses submitted to us by third parties.
We do not knowingly collect email addresses from third parties without appropriate authorization or consent.
We do use the e-mail lists compiled from information volunteered by our customers for marketing purposes and to keep those interested in our services informed about items of specific registered interest. Additionally, we may want to notify consumers about recent updates to our websites, to provide news notification (such as case studies or white papers) to our customers and to confirm competition or event registrations and other requests and submissions.
You may opt-out from receiving any promotional or marketing e-mails by notifying us at the address specified at the bottom of any unwanted e-mail.
Account Registration and Portal
Users may create an account through our website to register for events and manage their registrations. This account may store personal information such as contact details, registration history, and related event information.

Disclosure of Personal Information
Any information that you provide to us will be used for our internal purposes. We do not sell or rent your personal information to other individuals or organizations.
We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers that assist in operating our website and delivering services. This may include providers such as website hosting services, form processing tools (e.g., Gravity Forms or similar plugins), payment processors, analytics services, and technical support providers. These service providers are only given access to the information necessary to perform their functions on our behalf and are required to safeguard your information in accordance with applicable privacy standards.
In some cases, these third-party providers may store or process personal information outside of Canada. As a result, your information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.
We may also disclose personal information where authorized or required by law.
Other Personal Information
We may use a mailing address or phone number that a customer provides for a variety of BreakOut West-related reasons. We may send periodic mailings to customers or telephone them to inform them of offers, new services or events. If you do not wish to receive such contacts, you may request to be removed from the contact list at the time of the call or upon receipt of the mailing.
Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining records, and meeting legal or regulatory requirements. When personal information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
