Section 4.2 - Cookies

 

A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Site. We use a number of different cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. They may serve many functions. For example, cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the Site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the Site, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.

 

In addition to our own cookies, we allow third-party cookies on our Site. For example, like many companies, we use third-party analytic tools to monitor traffic on our Site for marketing and web experience customization purposes.

Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our Site may no longer be fully accessible. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as www.allaboutcookies.org.

 

Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners.

By using our Site without disabling cookie files, you implicitly consent to the collection, use and communication of the information (whether personal or not) required to implement these functionalities.

 

We use the following cookies to optimize your experience on our Site and to provide our services.

 

Section 4.2.1 - Reporting and Analytics

 

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie.

Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.

We use web beacons (transparent graphic images placed on a web page or in an email) to indicate that a page or email has been viewed or to let your browser retrieve content from another server. Web beacons compile statistics on the use of our website and web services, allowing us, for instance, to measure the success of our newsletter and marketing campaigns.

 

Section 4.4 - Google Web Analysis Products

 

We use certain Google products, such as Google Analytics, as web analysis tools. These products allow us to adapt, optimize and deliver ads based on your past visits, including displaying ATTITUDE advertisements that might interest you on third-party websites.

We have an e-mail newsletter, which we send to our clients who subscribe to it. Our newsletter provides information on our global sustainable vision, our offers and promotions, the latest trends and other information. You can subscribe to it at any time by filling out the registration form on our website. You can also cancel your subscription at any time, either by updating your online account preferences or by following the instructions located at the bottom of each newsletter. Please note that operational emails are not commercial electronic messages and provide relevant information that must be communicated to you including, for instance, information on the orders you placed with ATTITUDE. Consequently, ATTITUDE will continue to send such messages as appropriate.

 

Section 6 – Security and safeguards

 

ATTITUDE maintain appropriate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect the personal information we have in our possession against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of such personal information.

 

Therefore, ATTITUDE limits access to your personal information to employees who must necessarily have access to it in order to fulfill their functions. Records containing personal information on paper are kept in a secure environment with restricted access. Personal information on electronic media is protected by technical and technological means, such as passwords, firewalls, anti-virus software and other protection software, as well as by the encryption of certain data, thus preventing loss, theft, unwanted intrusions, improper use, unauthorized changes and malicious attacks. ATTITUDE ensures that its servers are kept in a secure environment and its IT infrastructure is managed by specialists who ensure that data is protected. Moreover, all employees of ATTITUDE who have access to personal information are trained and made aware of the importance of protecting the confidentiality of such personal information.

 

With respect to credit card transactions, ATTITUDE complies with industry best practices to ensure the protection of personal information related to credit cards. However, no company, including ATTITUDE nor Shopify, can completely eliminate the security risks associated with the transmission of personal information through online transactions, and you do so at your own risk.

 

Nevertheless, despite all the precautions and measures put in place by ATTITUDE to protect your personal information, due to the nature of the internet and internet technologies, security and privacy risks cannot be eliminated, and ATTITUDE cannot guarantee that your personal information will not be disclosed in a manner contrary to this Privacy Policy. If you believe personal information has been compromised, please contact us as set forth in section "12 – Question, Complaint and Contact Information".

 

Section 7 - Retention of Your Personal Information

 

We will only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the relevant purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

 

Section 8 – Access to Your Personal Information

 

In accordance with applicable laws, you have the right to request access to any personal information that ATTITUDE holds about you, to know how it has been used and whether it has been communicated to third parties. You also have the right to ask that any personal information that we hold about you be corrected or deleted if inaccurate or incomplete. To do so, you must send a written request to this effect to ATTITUDE by email webadmin@attitudeliving.com or by post to the following address: ATTITUDE, 5605 De Gaspé, Suite 900, Montréal, Québec, H2T 2A4, Canada.

 

In this request, you must provide enough information for us to be able to identify you clearly and thus inform you of the existence, use, and disclosure of personal information that we hold about you. ATTITUDE will proceed with the review of the written request and reply to it within thirty (30) days of receipt. This period may be extended by an additional period of thirty (30) days where allowed by applicable laws. No fee is required by ATTITUDE for the processing of such a request, unless the request is complex.

 

ATTITUDE reserves the right to refuse any request in circumstances where the law allows it. If applicable, the refusal will be duly explained within the allotted response time and you will be informed of the possible courses of action provided by the law.

 

Section 9 - Age of Consent

Section 10 - Other Web Sites

 

Our Site may contain links to third party sites that are not governed by ATTITUDE’S Privacy Policy. By clicking on these links, you will be automatically directed to these external websites. While we make every effort to include only links to sites with high standards of privacy protection, our Privacy Policy no longer applies when you leave our Site. We cannot ensure the protection of the information that you provide or that is collected by tracking technologies (cookies or other) when you are using these websites, given that they are owned and operated by independent third parties. These sites have their own privacy and protection of personal information practices, which are beyond our control.

 

ATTITUDE assumes no responsibility in this regard, nor any obligation whatsoever for practices, actions and policies relating to these third-party websites. We therefore advise you to review the privacy statements of these sites to learn how your information will be collected, used, shared and disclosed.

 

Section 11 - Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, without advance notice, in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
