We value the trust that is placed on us to responsibly manage the personal information that we obtain. To that end, we have instituted policies and practices described below to ensure that the personal information we collect is handled in a responsible manner.
Our online privacy policy describes the types of personal information we may collect from you when you visit our website, how we use this information, and when we share it with third parties or our affiliated companies.

Your Privacy rights

In Canada, organizations engaged in the collection of personal information in the course of commercial activities must comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (the “Act”).
Cora is responsible for the personal information we collect, use, maintain and disclose. To ensure this accountability, we have developed this policy, and trained our staff about our policies and practices.

What is “personal information?”

“Personal information” is any information that identifies you, or by which your identity could be deduced. It does not include your name, business address, business title, professional designation(s) or business telephone number.
Types of personal information we collect and how it is used
Cora gathers personal information, including home mailing addresses and email addresses, when voluntarily submitted by you. We use your personal information to communicate with you, to respond to your enquiries, to get your feedback on our websites and our products or to enter you in one of our contests or sweepstakes. Occasionally, with your permission, we will send you marketing information, such as discount coupons, information about new product offerings, etc. If you do not consent to receive such materials, we will not send them to you. If you tell us that you no longer wish to receive information from us, we will not send any further material.

Consent

In most cases, we shall ask you to provide explicit consent, if we collect, use, or disclose your personal information. Normally, we ask for your consent in writing, but in some circumstances, we may accept your verbal consent. Sometimes, your consent may be implied through your conduct with us, such as by providing us with your personal information on our Website.

Disclosure of personal information

Cora may share your personal information within the Cora Family. The Cora Family includes Cora, its franchisees, subsidiaries and affiliates. Any use of this information by the Cora Family will comply with this policy.
Third Parties may be contracted by Cora to perform a variety of administrative functions, such as fulfilling orders, assisting with promotions and providing technical services for our web sites. These third parties may have access to your personal information if needed to perform such functions. However, these third parties may use such personal information for the purpose of performing such functions only and for no other purpose. These third parties will be bound by this privacy policy.
Except as expressly provided herein, Cora does not sell, transfer or disclose personal information to third parties outside the Cora Family. However, with your permission, we may, on occasion, send marketing information on behalf of one of our business partners about products or services they provide that may be of interest to you. You may be asked if you wish to receive marketing materials from Cora’s business partners. If you elect to receive such materials, Cora will send a mailing or email on behalf of the partners and will not share your personal information with such partners.
Cora reserves the right to use or disclose any of your personal information as required or authorized by law, to protect the integrity of the Website, to fulfill your requests, or to cooperate in any law enforcement investigation or an investigation on a matter of public safety.
