FULL VERSION OF PRIVACY POLICY

SECTION 1 – WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND HOW DO WE USE IT?

We may collect the following types of personal information from you: 

  • Payment and Transaction Information. Our Services require payment. When you submit a deposit or purchase something from our Site, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide to us such as your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and telephone number.

Our Site is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our Services to you. Your personal information is stored through Shopify’s data storage databases and the general Shopify application. Shopify stores your personal information on a secure server behind a firewall.

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card/payment information. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI-DSS”). Your purchase transaction information is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card/payment information by our Site and its service providers. 

For more insight, we recommend you visit and review Shopify’s Terms of Service and Privacy Statement. 

  • Information that You Provide. We may occasionally request from you and you may otherwise voluntarily provide us with information that personally identifies you (including, but not limited to, Services purchases, user support, feedback, and surveys). Depending on your use of our Services, the personal information we collect may include contact information such as your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and telephone number.

  • provide you with use of our Site to facilitate purchases of our Services;

Our use of personal information is limited to the purposes described in this Policy. We do not otherwise sell, trade, barter, exchange or disclose for consideration any personal information we have obtained.


SECTION 2 – CONSENT

How do you get my consent?

As required by applicable law, WALK-i-TASK will obtain your consent before, or when, we collect, use, transfer, and/or disclose your personal information. By visiting our Site and purchasing our Services, or otherwise interacting with us, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information by WALK-i-TASK in accordance with the terms of and for the purposes set out in this Policy, as they may be amended from time to time. Otherwise, WALK-i-TASK will obtain your express consent to collect, use, transfer, or disclose your personal information for any new or additional purpose.

How do I withdraw my consent?

At any time, subject to contractual and legal restrictions, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you (if you have previously consented to such communications) or the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information by contacting Customer Service at info@walkitask.com. It should be noted that in certain circumstances, our Services can only be offered if you provide us with personal information. If you choose not to provide us with the required personal information, we may not be able to offer you our Services. We will inform you of the consequences of the withdrawal of consent, if applicable.


SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your information to the following parties:

Under certain exceptional circumstances, WALK-i-TASK may have a legal duty or right to collect, use or disclose your personal information without your knowledge or consent. In accordance with applicable laws, we will not disclose your personal information without your consent, except where your information is required to be disclosed: (i) for the purposes of completing a business transaction, such as a sale of our business, merger, amalgamation or similar transaction; (ii) for law enforcement purposes; (iii) for the purpose of complying with a legal requirement; (iv) where information is public as permitted by law; (v) where it is reasonable for the purposes of investigating a breach of an agreement, or actual or suspected illegal activity; or (vi) where it is necessary to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit any damages that we may sustain.


SECTION 4 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We take reasonable steps, through contractual or other reasonable means, to require that a comparable level of personal information protection is implemented by our third-party service providers. The collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information by our third-party service providers is limited to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. 

Note that certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information required by them for your purchase-related transactions. We recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers: 

  • PayPal (https://www.paypal.com/ca/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full).

    • SECTION 5 – STORAGE, SECURITY AND CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER 

    Information we collect is stored on servers managed by Shopify (please review Shopify’s Privacy Policy). Standard physical, technical and organizational security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information are implemented in an effort to protect information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. 

    If you provide your credit card/payment information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with an AES-256 encryption.  Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards. 

    Certain of our third-party service providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your personal information may be transferred to a country that does not have the same data protection laws as Canada. Your personal information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located, and may be accessible to courts, law enforcement and national security authorities in such jurisdiction. As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act. 

     

    SECTION 6 – RETENTION 

    We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and to meet our legal and contractual obligations. The length of time we retain information varies, depending on the purpose for which it was collected and the nature of the information. This period may extend beyond the end of your relationship with us but it will be only for so long as it is necessary for us to have sufficient information to respond to any issues that may arise at a later date.

    We will destroy, erase or make anonymous documents or other records containing personal information as soon as it is reasonable to conclude that the original purpose is no longer being served by retention of the information and retention is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes. 


    SECTION 7 – MANAGING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

    • Access. WALK-i-TASK permits the reasonable right of access to your personal information. Upon written request and authentication of identity, we will provide you with access to your personal information under our control, subject to any legal requirements and applicable exceptions to the right of access. Where an access request is refused, we will notify you in writing and provide our rationale for refusal along with a list of next steps available to you.
    • Accuracy. If you demonstrate the inaccuracy or incompleteness of your personal information, we will amend the information as required. If appropriate, we will send the amended information to third-party service providers to whom the information has been disclosed.
