OUR PLEDGE
HockeyShot Inc. (“HockeyShot”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and pledges to earn and keep your trust. All personal information that we collect from you is maintained in accordance with this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) and will not be used in ways that are contrary to this Policy. “Personal information” is any information that identifies you, or by which your identity could be deduced. Business contact information is a category of personal information (e.g., an individual’s name, business title, business address or business telephone number), which is defined as any information used for the purpose of communicating or facilitating communication with an individual in relation to their employment, business or profession. Organizations can collect, use and disclose business contact information without consent as long as it is used solely for the purpose of communicating or facilitating communication with someone with respect to his/her job.
This policy is incorporated by reference to our Terms of Use.
YOUR CONSENT
In most cases, we will ask you to provide explicit consent before we collect, use or disclose your personal information. Consent may also be implied in other cases through your conduct with us. For example, by providing your personal information and complete registration to create a user account and become a member, you will have consented to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Policy.
You may withdraw your consent at any time. However, if you choose to withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with the full range of services available through our website.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We collect personal information only by lawful and fair means and not in an intrusive way. In most cases, we collect personal information directly from you, such as through online information forms if you submit an inquiry to us. While we may also use the information that you provided when you signed up as a member, we will only do so in accordance with this Policy.
Like many other websites, we also use passive tracking technologies and third-party analytics tools to collect information from you. These tools may automatically monitor and track information related to activities on our website, including the methods described below.

These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements.

You may request at any time that we not email you in the future by clicking the "unsubscribe" link, which will be included at the bottom of any email that you receive from us.

ONLINE BEHAVIOURAL ADVERTISING
Like many other companies, we engage in online behavioural advertising or interest-based advertising. "Online behavioral advertising” or “interest-based advertising” includes advertisements served to you after you leave our website, encouraging you to return. They also include advertisements that we think are relevant based on your shopping habits or online activities. These advertisements might be served on websites or on apps. They might also be served in emails. These advertisements maybe served by us or other third parties. They might be about our products or other companies' products.
You have some choices when it comes to online behavioural advertising: We adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioural Advertising and the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada’s Canadian Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioural Advertising. DAA’s principles are available: http://www.aboutads.info/principles and DAA Canada’s principles available: http://youradchoices.ca/files/DAAC-ThePrinciples.pdf.
- the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising program provides consumers with the ability to opt-out of having their online behavior recorded and used for advertising purposes.
- The Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) also offers a tool for opting-out of the collection of cross-app data on a mobile device for interest-based advertising.
For more information, including how to opt out of having your online behavior collected for advertising purposes or to exercise choice for companies participating in the DAA tool, please see www.aboutads.info. Choices you make are both browser and device-specific.
