Why we collect viewer data: To understand your needs and preferences.
We maintain a record of viewer traffic, habits and reactions. On occasion, we
may ask for additional information so that we can serve you better. Our
advertisers depend on our ability to provide feedback about our audience and
how they benefit from their relationships with these viewers via our websites.
We look at how our customers use our products and services, so that
we can understand how to improve them.
The stats that we collect help us develop better product recommendations
and special offers that we think will interest you.
We also analyze customer usage of our websites to help us manage the content
effectively and plan future growth strategies.
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the
activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. You can visit
many pages on our site without providing any information. Other pages may
prompt you to provide information, such as when you register for access to
portions of our site, sign up for membership, request certain features (e.g.,
newsletters, news updates and other products), or make a purchase. You may
also provide information when you participate in message boards and chat rooms
and other interactive areas of our site.
Like most Web sites, westvancouver.com & northvancouver.com also collects
information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be
transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet
Service Provider or use "cookie" technology. Among other things, the cookie may
store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that
information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you
encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt
additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In
certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by
setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but doing so may limit your
ability to access certain portions of the sites or may require you to re-enter your
user name and password. Please see our Privacy Policy for further details.
Additionally we may not be able to customize the site's features according to your
preferences.
You do have choices and can refuse or withdraw your consent as follows:
You may have your name removed from our telephone, mail or e-mail
marketing lists. We use these lists to inform you of relevant products, services
and special offers that may be of benefit to you.
If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy practices, please call us
at 604-926-9293. Otherwise, we will assume that we have your consent to
continue to collect and use information for the purposes identified above.
