Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2017

Mosaic Manufacturing Ltd. and its divisions, affiliates and subsidiaries (hereinafter "Mosaic") respects the privacy and the integrity of any information that is collected through our Web sites, the provision of our products and/or services, or that you otherwise provide to us. This Privacy Policy explains our policy regarding the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.

This Privacy Policy will be assessed against new technologies, business practices and our users' needs. As we update, expand and diversify our products and services, this Privacy Policy may evolve. Please check this Privacy Policy from time to time for updates by checking the date of the "Last Update" at the top of this document. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you here.

 You acknowledge and agree that your access to our Web sites and your use of our products and/or services following any posted changes to the Privacy Policy indicate your acceptance of such changes.

Application of this policy

At Mosaic, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our users, which is why we do not sell nor rent any personal information or personally identifiable information regarding our users to any third party. We hope this Privacy Policy will answer your questions regarding how we treat personal information gathered from visitors to our Web sites and users of our services.

What is personal information

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, personal information means information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, address, e-mail address, country of residence, as well as other information when such information is combined with your personal information. Personal information does not include "aggregate" anonymous information that does not identify an individual person, which is data we collect about the use of our Web sites and our products and services. Our privacy policy does not restrict or limit our collection and use of aggregate, anonymous information.

Consent

You acknowledge and agree that by accessing our Web sites or using our products and/or services, or otherwise providing us with personal information, you fully understand, accept and voluntarily consent to the collection, use, retention and disclosure of personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use our Web sites, products or services nor submit any personal information to Mosaic. It is your choice whether or not you provide us with your personal information; however, a decision to withhold personal information may restrict or prevent us from providing you with a particular product or service. We will only collect, use, and disclose your personal information with your consent, except where otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirement.

Collection of personal information

Should you choose to place an order for products or services, you will need to provide payment information such as credit card numbers, billing addresses and your IP address to our trusted third party service provider.  Credit card information, including the card number, expiry date and security code, is securely collected by our trusted third party service provider. Credit card data is not retained by Mosaic in any form.

Use of your personal information

You acknowledge and agree that Mosaic may use personal information that you voluntarily disclose to us to:

  • provide you with information about new products, services, newsletters, informative e-mails, and research on future product ideas or improvements, where you have agreed to receive such materials;
  • provide you with special offers that may be of interest to you and to improve your experience on our Web sites or with our products and services;
  • assist us in creating better products and services to meet your needs;
  • allow you to purchase and download products, obtain access to services or otherwise engage in activities you select; 
  • provide you with technical support;
  • help you quickly find software, services or product information important to you;
  • send transaction-related communications such as welcome letters and product/service order confirmations. Mosaic may also send you surveys or marketing communications to inform you of new products or services or other information that may be of interest;
  • restrict the availability of some of the products, services and content to certain parts of the world, where required for legal reasons, by using your address, IP address and other information in order to enforce those restrictions;
  • to carry out other purposes that are disclosed to you and to which you consent; and
  • to carry out any other purpose permitted or required by law. 

 You agree that you are under no obligation to provide us with this information and can access many aspects of our Web sites without providing us any personal information.

While using the service and Web site, you may have opportunities to post reviews or other personal information in public forums at your own discretion. Please understand that when you post such information, it is public and we are not able to protect it from other persons who may view the public areas of our Web site. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose any personal information in a publically available forum such as the Web site and agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless Mosaic for any damages or claims resulting from any of your postings. Mosaic is not obligated to monitor postings and at its discretion may remove any content submitted.

Disclosure of your personal information

Except as otherwise disclosed to you, Mosaic will not sell nor rent your personal information to any other party and will only use and disclose your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected as described in this Privacy Policy. However, you agree that Mosaic may disclose your personal information in the circumstances set out below:

Mosaic may disclose your personal information with your prior consent;

Mosaic may be required by law to disclose personal information without your knowledge or consent in the event of emergency situations or when required by government or other legal authority;

Mosaic may also disclose personal information to third parties in connection with a corporate re-organization, merger or amalgamation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, provided that, where appropriate, any party to whom the information is disclosed is bound by agreements or obligations, and required to use or disclose your personal information in a manner consistent with the use and disclosure provisions of this Privacy Policy, unless you consent otherwise;

Mosaic may also use, or disclose your personal information to third parties, if we have reason to believe that using or disclosing such information is necessary to: (i) conduct investigations of possible breaches of law; (ii) identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating an agreement they have with us; (iii) investigate security breaches or cooperate with government authorities pursuant to a legal matter or (iv) to protect our rights, safety or property; or

Mosaic may share your personal information with service providers who perform services on our behalf. For example, we may hire other companies to handle the processing of payments, collect debts, to provide data storage, to host websites, to fulfill orders, to assist in direct marketing, to conduct audits, etc. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to provide the service. Each company is bound by agreement or obligations with Mosaic to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices in order to use and disclose your personal information in a manner consistent with the use and disclosure provisions of this Privacy Policy, unless you consent otherwise.

How to opt-out / withdraw consent

Subject to legal and contractual obligations where applicable, you can withdraw your consent for the use of your personal information you have provided to us, you should do so either through links provided in communications to you or by emailing privacy@mosaicmanufacturing.com to notify our team of your withdrawal of consent. 

Information may be retained by Mosaic for audit or archival purposes or as required by applicable federal and provincial laws.

If you do not wish to receive marketing communications, you may follow the "unsubscribe" instructions included within each e-mail communication or by selecting or deselecting (depending on the service) the appropriate option through links provided in communications to you.  Please keep in mind that, even if you choose not to receive marketing communications, you may continue to receive transactional or account communications related to services or products that you have requested (e.g. purchase confirmation e-mails and receipts).

How long we keep personal information

Mosaic maintains information about you for as long as we provide service to you, and longer for related business activities. After information is no longer necessary for our business purposes, we destroy the information unless there is an outstanding request or order to preserve the information.

Safeguards we have in place

Mosaic stores and processes your personal information on computers principally in Canada as well as internationally. Mosaic employs reasonable physical, organizational, managerial and technical measures to help ensure that your personal information is secure. In addition, our dedicated team of information technology professionals works to maintain data accuracy and help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. Personal information may only be accessed by persons within our organization, or our third party service providers, who require such access to carry out the purposes indicated above.

Unfortunately, no security system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information and cannot assume liability for improper access to it. The Internet is not a secure medium and you acknowledge and agree that the privacy of your e-mail communication and personal information can never be guaranteed as any e-mail communication may be lost, intercepted or altered. By using our Web sites, or providing personal information to us through any means, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of our Web sites and our services.

Some or all of the personal information we collect may be stored or processed on servers located outside your jurisdiction of residence, including in the United States, whose data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live. As a result, this information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in those jurisdictions according to laws in those jurisdictions.  Subject to applicable laws in such other jurisdictions, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate protections are in place to require the data processor in that country to maintain protections on the personal information.
