Ictus MusicShare Online Privacy Policy Statement
[Updated: January 2024]
Ictus MusicShare (Ictus) is committed to the responsible use of personal information collected from and about you while you are using the www.ictus.ca website or any website or online service under the ictus.ca domain name. Consistent with the Canadian Privacy Act, this privacy statement provides information about how this personal information may be used. Individual web pages under the ictus.ca domain name may post additional privacy statements addressing more specific information collected on those pages.
Information We Collect
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
As users access the website, Ictus collects non-personally identifiable information such as IP address, browser type, and site usage. This information is not linked to any personal information and remains anonymous. It is an automatic function of Word Press (ictus.ca site platform) and Hostpapa.com (ictus.ca service provider.)
To collect this information, the ictus.ca website uses session “cookies” — that is, small text files that are placed on your computer’s hard drive. The session cookies used by the Ictus do not give us access to your computer and do not provide us with personally identifiable information. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. You may modify your browser settings to disallow cookies, but this may prevent you from taking full advantage of our website.
Personally Identifiable Information
Certain areas of our website collect voluntary information that is personally identifiable, such as name, postal code, and e-mail address. This is typically done through request and registration forms provided in order to learn of your interest in Ictus and provide you with information and services.
Personally identifiable information may be collected as part of an online purchase or payment. In this case, Ictus uses one of the following PCI-compliant third-party services to process your transaction. Prior to using these services, we encourage you to read the privacy policies listed below.
Use of Information We Collect
Use of non-personally identifiable information
We use non-personally identifiable information while you are browsing the site to improve your individual experience and provide you with more individualized responses. We also aggregate non-personally identifiable information from many users into statistical reports in order to better administer our website, diagnose server problems that may occur from time to time, and improve our website.
Use of personally identifiable information
By providing personally identifiable information, you imply consent to the collection and use of the information for the purposes for which it was provided. Your information is used to provide relevant materials, products and services you request, and to facilitate relationships with the Ictus, such as music lessons or performance requests. You may opt out of receiving information from Ictus MusicShare by contacting ad***@ic***.ca.
Unless required by law, personally identifiable information is only shared with third parties as necessary to provide the materials, products, and services you request. When third parties are given access to personally identifiable information, they are, by contract, not permitted to use or re-disclose any of the information for unauthorized purposes. Personally identifiable information is never sold to third parties.
Security
In order to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of information gathered on our site, all information is stored within a controlled database environment accessible only to authorized ictus.ca administrators. However, as effective as any security measures implemented may be, no security system is impenetrable. Ictus MusicShare cannot guarantee the security of its database environment, nor can it guarantee that the information you provide will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet.
Public Self-Disclosure
Ictus MusicShare does not control the actions of its site visitors nor the use site visitors may make of publicly disclosed information. Please be aware that disclosing personally identifiable information on the site’s bulletin boards, guest books, chat rooms or other such public forums may allow visitors to gather information and send unsolicited email. We encourage you to report any unsolicited/unwanted email or misuse of information to ad***@ic***.ca.
Links to Other Websites
Our website may include links to other websites outside the ictus.ca domain, including co-branded or other affiliated sites that may or may not be owned or operated by Ictus MusicShare. Such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. Users should become familiar with the privacy practices of those other sites.
