Outlined below is the Privacy Policy, as referenced in our Terms of Service Agreement.
1. Privacy
By accessing and continuing to use the Site and the Services, and by providing personally identifiable information to QuoteToMe through the Site and the Services, you are indicating your acceptance to be bound by the policies of this Privacy Policy. If you do not accept the policies set forth in this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Site or the Services, nor provide personally identifiable information through the Site or the Services.
If you want to use the Services, we need you to provide basic information about your organization. We also need you to let us share some of this information with other Suppliers, for the purpose of connecting you for Quote Requests and Quotes. You therefore expressly consent to our collection, use and disclosure of the personally identifiable information you provide to us when you register as a Contractor and use the Site and the Services, in accordance with applicable laws, and the following principles:
- subject to applicable laws, we will only collect, use and disclose your personal information with your consent, and, once we collect your personal information, we will only use and disclose it for purposes we have identified to you;
- in some instances, we may use “cookies”, which are small text files offered to your computer by servers in order to keep track of your browser as you navigate a website. Cookies may be stored on your hard drive, or in temporary (cache) memory, in which case they are deleted when you shut down your browser or turn off your computer. We may use cookies to record session information, such as your browsing habits and past activity, to enable us to provide you with improved services such as customized webpage content. You can disable cookies using your Internet browser’s settings. Please consult your browser’s help function for information on how to disable cookies. Note that if you disable cookies, certain features of the Site may not function properly. Your use of the Site signifies your consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information, as it relates to our use of cookies. For the purposes of customizing your experience and securing your account, we may also log and record IP addresses which are associated with log-in activity;
- while we aim to inform you how we will use your personal information at the time we collect it from you, you should be aware that, generally, we collect your personal information for the following purposes: (a) to offer you the Services, including, but not limited to, sharing your personal information with Suppliers, as the case may be, for the purpose of submitting Quote Requests and Quotes, with companies with whom we contract to process your payments and with service providers that help us store the personal information we collect from you in order to offer you the Services; (b) to respond to your requests for service and your questions; (c) to conduct investigations relating to breaches of agreements or contraventions of laws; (d) to develop, enhance and market our Services; (e) to manage and develop our business and operations, including personnel and employment matters; (f) in connection with an actual or possible corporate reorganization, merger or amalgamation with another entity, or an actual or possible sale of some or all of the assets of QuoteToMe; (g) to meet legal and regulatory requirements; or (h) to carry out any other purpose that you have authorized or that is required or permitted by law;
- we may engage service providers to assist us with fulfilling the purposes that are set out above, and, in some instances, these service providers may be located outside Canada. We only select service providers that protect personal information in a manner that is comparable to the protection we provide under our own privacy policies. Please be advised that personal information may be subject to, and accessed under, the laws of the countries in which our service providers operate. If you have any questions about our transfer of personal information to our service providers outside Canada, or if you would like to learn more about our privacy policies in that regard, please contact our Privacy Officer at the contact information provided below;
- the Site may contain links to other websites that are provided as a convenience only, and which may have different privacy policies and practices than we do. We have no responsibility for these third party websites, and you are advised to review the privacy policies of any third party websites you choose to visit;
- we protect personal information against such risks as loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, modification or destruction, through generally accepted security measures. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security measures;
- you may withdraw your consent for us to manage your personal information in a particular way, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. However, this may limit our ability to provide you with certain services or products. You may contact us for more information regarding the implications of withdrawing consent;
- the Site allows you to register Authorized Users yourself, on those Authorized Users’ behalf. If you choose to register such Authorized Users on their behalf, you represent and warrant that you have their authorization to provide us their personal information; and
- for more information about our privacy policies and practices, please contact our Privacy Officer at info@quotetome.com.
2. Your Account
You are required, when you use certain features of the Site (including, without limitation, the Services), to create a user name and password. If we determine that the user name you have chosen is in use by someone else or it is otherwise offensive, we may refuse to allow you, in our sole discretion, to use your chosen user name. In addition, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and you are responsible for all uses of your user name, whether by Authorized Users or otherwise, and whether or not you authorize such uses. You agree to notify us of any unauthorized use of your user name and password. We are not responsible for verifying your identity or the identity of anyone who uses your account, and we are not liable for any loss or damage as a result of your failure to protect your password. You agree that any registration information you provide will be true and accurate. We reserve the right to automatically log you out of your account after such a period of inactivity as we determine is reasonable, in the circumstances.

Limits on Storage: We retain the right to create limits on use and storage, at our sole discretion, at any time, with or without notice.

Our Access to Stored Content: We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as we reasonably believe is necessary, including, without limitation, Your Content, to: (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; (b) enforce this Privacy Policy, including investigation of potential violations hereof; (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; (d) respond to user support requests; or (e) protect our rights, property or safety, our users or the public. We will not be responsible or liable for the exercise or non-exercise of our rights under this Privacy Policy.
Monitoring: We have the right to access the Services, Our Content and Your Content at any time, to maintain their effective operation, to provide upgrades to the software or other system components and to review the your use of the Services, Our Content and Your Content. We reserve the right, but do not assume the responsibility or obligation, to monitor, view and audit transactions and communications (inbound and outbound, including Quote Requests and Quotes), in our sole and absolute discretion, in order to manage the Site and the Services and for such other purposes as we shall deem necessary or advisable. If we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that you have breached or will breach a term or condition of this Privacy Policy, we may cancel any Quote Request, Quote or related transaction, or take any other action to restrict access to or the availability of any material that may be considered objectionable, without any liability to you or any third party. Further, in such event, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, immediately terminate this Privacy Policy and your access to the Site and the Services, all without notice to you.
