| Canadarentals.net
offers this privacy policy to explain how we use your personal information.
Without some degree of personal information, Canadarentals.net would
not work. We strive to keep the site safe for both the user, and
the visitor. |

| Collection
of Information - Canadarentals.net does collect your personal
information, with your permission and acceptance of our terms of
service. We collect this information for internal use only, and
we do not, and never will sell or release your information to a
third party, other than as a classified posting on our web site.
Your information that you submit in postings that appear on the
web site will naturally be viewed by the outside world. We collect
the following information with your consent: |
| |
 |
Email address - this is requested with
each listing submission so we may be able to communicate with you
and send you a listing active e-mail and removal instructions. We
give you the option to have your email posted on the web site or not. |
| |
|
IP address - We collect your IP address, but we do
not post or share this with anyone. We collect this information to
help us better identify spammers and abuse, and to help block them
from using our web site. We reserve the right to block any IP address
of individuals who may be abusing our systems |
| |
|
Personal information - We do collect only the personal
information that you submit to us (email address, phone, etc). |
Cookies and Web Beacons
Canadarentals.net uses cookies. "Cookies" are small pieces
of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's
hard drive. These are important for our site to function. Third
parties may be placing and reading cookies on our users' browser,
or using web beacons to collect information, in the course of ads
being served on this web site.
We also use third party advertisements on canadarentals.net to
support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such
as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which
will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google
AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP
, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether
you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting
purposes (showing Edmonton real estate ads to someone in Edmonton,
for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited
(such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites). |
Cookie Management
You can generally make your browser accept or not accept cookies
by going to Tools>>Options and then into your Privacy tab
in Firefox, or Tools>>Internet Options in Internet Explorer.
Other browsers should have a similar feature.
You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or
third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences
in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can
affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other
websites. This could include the inability to login to services
or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.
Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of
any advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow
cookies, the next time you visit a site running the advertisements,
a new cookie will be added. |
DoubleClick DART cookies
We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s
DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing
the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including
some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve
ads specific to you and your interests (”interest based targeting”).
The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history
(For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Edmonton,
you may see Edmonton hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related
site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses “non personally
identifiable information”. It does NOT track personal information
about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone
number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card
numbers. You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this
advertising by visiting http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx
|
Log Files
As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained
in log files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet
protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL
or Shaw Cable), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet
Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages
you visited throughout our site. |
| Information Use - You
may use personal information collected from postings on Canadarentals.net
only to follow up with another user about a specific ad posted on
our site. You may not use information collected from our site to send
spam or collect personal information to or from someone who hasn’t
consented to that. |
| Removal of Information - Canadarentals.net
will remove your information from our web site and our database within
2 business days after you submit a removal request. Text listings
will stay on the site for about 3 months unless we receive a removal
request. |
| Abuse, Fraud, Spam and Discrimination
- Canadarentals.net has a zero tolerance policy for any of
these issues. Obviously, being a public bulletin board, we are open
to abuse from time to time. If you suspect a fraudulent ad on our
site, or if you believe that your personal information has been posted
or used without your consent, please contact us and we will take the
appropriate action immediately. |
| Liability
- We make it very clear in many places on our web site that Canadarentals.net
cannot and will not be held liable for any posting on this web site.
Just as a public bulletin board at your local coffee shop cannot be
held liable for an objectionable message posted on it, we too cannot
be held liable for what a third party posts on our web site. We will,
however, take all appropriate measures to minimize abuse, spam, fraud
or discrimination. Any postings that have been brought to our attention,
and that are deemed to be abusive, spammy, fraudulent, or discriminatory
in any way will be removed from Canadarentals.net |
