Culture Source ("Culture Source") operates CultureSource.ca and may operate other websites. It is Culture Source's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Like most website operators, Culture Source collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Culture Source's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Culture Source's visitors use its website. From time to time, Culture Source may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Culture Source also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on CultureSource.ca blogs/sites. Culture Source only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Certain visitors to Culture Source's websites choose to interact with Culture Source in ways that require Culture Source to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Culture Source gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at CultureSource.ca to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Culture Source are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Culture Source collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Culture Source. Culture Source does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Culture Source may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Culture Source may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Culture Source does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Culture Source discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Culture Source's behalf or to provide services available at Culture Source's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Culture Source's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Culture Source will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Culture Source discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Culture Source believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Culture Source, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Culture Source website and have supplied your email address, Culture Source may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with Culture Source and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Culture Source takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

If Culture Source, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Culture Source goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Culture Source may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
