This Privacy Policy outlines how we protect and utilize the information we collect from you as you use our website, ELLISIONSTUDIOS.CA. By accessing or using our Website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Please also review our Terms of Use for a comprehensive understanding of your website usage rights and any additional terms applicable to specific services or content sections on our Website.

Personal and Non-Personal Information

Our Privacy Policy distinguishes between personal and non-personal information and explains how we handle each type.

What Is Non-Personal Information and How Is It Collected and Used?

Non-personal information refers to data that cannot identify you personally. When you visit our Website to access information such as details about our services, we may gather specific non-personal information from your web browser. Since non-personal information cannot be linked to your identity in any way, we have the freedom to use or share it without constraints.

What Is Personal Information and How Is It Collected?

Personal information refers to data that identifies you as an individual, such as your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, and fax number. We may collect personal information from you through various methods, including:

• When you complete an application or other forms
• During transactions with us, our affiliates, or other parties
• When we collect information in support of a transaction, such as credit card information
• In certain areas of our Website where you have the option to submit personal information, request specific information, purchase access to our products or services, or participate in activities

Use of Cookies and Other Technologies

We may utilize cookies and related technologies, such as web beacons, to gather information on our Website. A cookie is a small text file placed on your hard drive by a web page server, which cannot run programs or deliver viruses. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by the web server that issued them. They serve to simplify user experiences, such as remembering your information for future visits.

A web beacon is a small graphic image used to monitor and collect information about web page viewers, including their browser type, IP address, and viewing time. We may use web beacons to count visitors, track user navigation on our Website, and monitor email opens and interactions.

Third-party vendors may also employ cookies on our Website, typically for statistical information analysis in an anonymous and aggregated manner. We may contract with third parties to send emails to our registered users or members, and they may use cookies for measurement and improvement of email communication effectiveness.

You have the option to accept or decline cookies, although most web browsers automatically accept them. Modifying your browser settings can allow you to decline cookies, but doing so may limit the functionality of our Website’s interactive features.

How Is Personal Information Used?

We may retain and utilize the personal information collected from or about you for various purposes, including but not limited to:

• Providing access to our Website, products, or services
• Responding to your requests
• Billing for products or services
• Offering ongoing service and support
• Contacting you with relevant information, including products, services, and opinions
• Conducting record-keeping and analysis
• Researching, developing, and enhancing programs, products, services, and content

Personal information collected online may be combined with information from other sources, with personal identifiers removed, rendering it non-personal information. We may also use personal information to protect our rights, property, safety, or to comply with legal obligations.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We will not share your personal information collected from this Website with unrelated third parties without your explicit consent, except as otherwise indicated in this Privacy Policy. In the regular course of business, we may share some personal information with companies we engage to perform services or functions on our behalf. In such cases, we will not authorize these companies to retain, disclose, or utilize your information for any purpose beyond providing the requested services.

We do not sell, exchange, or publish your personal information, except in conjunction with corporate events such as sales, mergers, dissolutions, or acquisitions. For certain transactions, our third-party service vendors (e.g., credit card companies, clearinghouses, and banks) may directly collect personal information from you to facilitate your transaction. However, we do not control their use of such information, and they are required to disclose their use policies before collecting it.

In cases where we are legally compelled, we may disclose your personal information in response to court orders, subpoenas, search warrants, laws, regulations, or other legal processes. Additionally, we may cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting website visitors who violate our rules or engage in harmful or illegal behavior.

Communication Using Personal Information

We may periodically contact you via email, mail, or telephone to provide information on programs, products, services, or content that may interest you. Some Website features enable you to communicate with us through online forms, and if your communication requests a response, we may reply via email. Please be aware that we cannot guarantee the security of our emails from unauthorized interception.

Security of Personal Information

We implement accepted technology and operational security standards to safeguard personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Only authorized personnel and third-party vendors have access to your personal information, and they are required to treat it confidentially. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized individuals will not access your personal information.

Our Website may contain links to external websites that provide information we consider interesting. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these websites.
