Canadarentals.net - Privacy Policy
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
