WELCOME

This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the Red Deer Fish & Game Assoc. website and services, which are found at reddeerfishandgame.com (the “Site”), and outlines the type of information we collect from you, how we use this information, and in what circumstances this information may be disclosed. This Privacy Policy forms a part of and is supplemental to our Terms, which you are also required to read and agree to.

Although we may include links to third-party websites on the Site, this Privacy Policy only applies to your use of the Site. If you choose to access these third-party websites, we recommend that you review their terms of use and privacy policies, as we shall not be liable for your dealings with any third-party.

This Privacy Policy is subject to the Canada Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, the Alberta Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), and other applicable laws.   

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

“Non-Personal Information” is information of an anonymous nature, such as an IP address, details relating to the browser or operating system you are using to access the Site, and other aggregated information which relates to the usage of the Site (including the number of visitors, what pages are being accessed, and the average time spent on the Site).

We or a third-party advertiser may store and use information on your device in the form of a “cookie”. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are placed on your device’s hard drive to enable our system to recognize your browser and to provide features such as remembering your last visit to the Site (so that you do not have to re-enter information each time you visit the Site) and for the proper functioning of our “shopping cart”. Cookies may also be used to associate you with social networking sites, and, if you choose, enable interaction between your activities on the Site and your activities on such social networking sites. You can prevent your computer from accepting new cookies and delete cookies stored on your computer by accessing your browser’s settings. However, by blocking cookies you may experience a decrease in functionality and performance of the Site.

THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING

We may use third party advertising companies to help present advertisements on the Site, as well as other service providers to evaluate and provide us with information about the use of the Site and viewing of our content. Such providers may place and access cookies or similar technologies on your device to deliver advertisements or other content personalized to your interests, which they infer from your browsing history on the Site and other sites you have visited.
