What is Personal Information?

“Personal Information” is any information that is identifiable with an individual, like you. This information may include but is not limited to your name, mailing address, mobile phone number, email address and banking information. Personal Information, however, does not include the name, business title or business address and business telephone number in an individual’s capacity as an employee of an organization. Also, we do not consider personal information to include information that has been anonymized (such as card proxy numbers) so that it does not identify a specific user.

​

How do we collect your Personal Information?

We will always collect your Personal Information by fair and lawful means. We will collect Personal Information from you and from third party service providers, where we have obtained your consent to do so or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

When you visit the Blockgration Holdings Inc., website (the “Website”) and we collect the types of information identified in the contact us form provided on the website. This information will include:

Your contact information – your name, company name, address, mobile phone number, business phone number, email, and other similar information.

​

Use of Cookies

When you access our website, we, or companies we hire to track how our website is used, may place small data files called “cookies” on your computer. In general, we use these cookies to collect your IP address and standard web log information, such as your browser type and the pages you accessed on our website, in order that Blockgration may track and generate reports, in each case on a non-identifiable basis. This type of cookie helps us to recognize your computer and records the time and date you logged in, and ensure that you are free to navigate the website once you have logged in. Once you log out or close your browser, this cookie expires and no longer has any effect.

We encode our cookies so that only we can interpret the information stored in them. You are free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but doing so may interfere with your use of our website.

​

Where do we store your Personal Information?

The Personal Information we collect will be primarily held on our behalf at a third party data centre in Toronto and subject to limited access by Blockgration personnel as required for the Purposes (as defined below). In addition, we may send Personal Information outside of the country for the Purposes, including for process and storage by service providers, and you should note that while such information is out of the country, it is subject to the laws of the country in which it is held, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country. While our service providers may, from time to time, also hold your Personal Information in connection with purposes for which you provided your consent or as otherwise permitted or required by law, we remain responsible, and remain the contacts for, such information.

​

How do we use your Personal Information?

We identify the purposes for which we use your Personal Information at the time we collect such information from you, and obtain your consent, in any case, prior to such use, as well as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

​

To whom do we provide your Personal Information?

We identify to whom, and for what Purposes, we disclose your Personal Information at the time we collect such information from you and obtain your consent to such disclosure.

For example, we may disclose your Personal Information to:

• Third party providers with whom we have a contractual agreement (that includes appropriate privacy standards and requires that these providers only use the information in connection with the services they perform for us and not for their own benefit) where such third parties are assisting us with the Purposes — for example, service providers may be used to assist in the processing of transactions; in the provision of telephone support, data storage, and marketing; and with fraud prevention. When we engage with another party to provide specific services, and a customer signs up for those services, we share only the contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide such services.

• A potential acquirer, etc., and their representatives, in connection with a transaction involving the sale/merger/reorganization, etc. of some or all of the business of Blockgration;

• Third parties to which, and for the Purposes for which, you may otherwise consent; and

• As otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

​

When and how do we obtain your consent?

We obtain your consent prior to collecting, and in any case, prior to using or disclosing your Personal Information for any purpose. You may provide your consent to us either orally, electronically or in writing.

 

How do we ensure the privacy of your Personal Information when dealing with our affiliated and other third parties?

At any time, you can challenge the accuracy or completeness of your Personal Information in our records. If you successfully demonstrate that your Personal Information in our records is inaccurate or incomplete, we will amend the Personal Information as required. We may ask you for proof to confirm the changes in your Personal Information, especially when it relates to change of name. Where appropriate, we will transmit the amended information to third parties having access to your Personal Information.

What safeguards have we implemented to protect your Personal Information?

We have implemented, as applicable:
