At Clear Choice New Technology Corp. (“Clear Choice”), we are committed to maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality, and security of your personal information. We have developed this Privacy Policy to describe our specific privacy policies and practices and how we collect, use, and disclose the personal information of those individuals who visit our website. We have developed other documents that describe our privacy policies and practices with respect to those individuals with whom we interact.

Privacy Policy Effective for Canada

Clear Choice’s policy complies with the privacy legislation within each jurisdiction in which we operate. Sometimes the privacy legislation and/or an individual’s right to privacy are different from one jurisdiction to another. This Privacy Policy covers only those activities that are subject to the provisions of Canada’s federal and provincial privacy laws, as applicable.

This Privacy Policy has a limited scope and application. Consequently, the rights and obligations contained in this Privacy Policy may not be available to all individuals or in all jurisdictions.

Availability of Products and Services

Additional terms and conditions apply to purchases of products and services described in this website. Additional terms and conditions may also apply to specific functions available on this website. The products, services, and information described in this website are available only in jurisdictions where they may be legally provided, and therefore may not be available in all regions of Canada or to residents of other jurisdictions. For purchases of products and services, Clear Choice will use third party payment process tools.

How Do We Use Cookies?

When you visit the website, we place a “cookie” on the hard drive of your computer to track your visit. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your hard drive through your web browser that can only be read by the website that placed the cookie on your hard drive. The cookie acts as an identification card and allows our website to identify you and to record your passwords and preferences. The cookie allows us to track your visit to the website so that we can better understand your use of our website so that we can customize and tailor the website to better meet your needs.

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies. However, on most web browsers you may change this setting to have your web browser either: (1) notify you prior to a website placing a cookie on your hard drive so that you can decide whether or not to accept the cookie; or (2) automatically prevent the placing of a cookie on your hard drive.
