Aggregated Statistics
The HalfPrice may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. The HalfPrice may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, The HalfPrice does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
The HalfPrice 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 The HalfPrice’s behalf or to provide services available at The HalfPrice’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 the HalfPrice’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The HalfPrice 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, The HalfPrice discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when The HalfPrice believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The HalfPrice, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of The HalfPrice website and have supplied your email address, The HalfPrice 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 The HalfPrice and our products. We expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support 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. The HalfPrice takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Storage of Personal Information
HalfPrice is a Canadian company with its head office located in Winnipeg, Canada. For the purposes of data protection regulations in Canada, we adhere to the Canadian Data Protection Act, which provides adequate protections for personal information.
We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or statutory reporting requirements.
In order to determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the following factors; the amount, nature and sensitivity of the data, potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
We may retain certain information subsequent to the termination of your account, for example, if it is necessary to fulfil our legal obligations or to exercise, to maintain security, to prevent fraud and abuse and to defend or enforce our rights.
HalfPrice has appointed a Privacy Officer who can be contacted support@HalfPrice.Rent
