If you do not agree with some or all of this Privacy Policy and are not of the age of majority in your province of residence, please do not use the Website or our Services.

 

We recommend that you take the time to read this Privacy Policy so that you understand how we handle Personal Information.  This Privacy Policy may also change.  We will include a "last revised" date on the Privacy Policy as displayed on the Website.  We strongly encourage you to refer back to the Privacy Policy periodically.

 

  1. How We Collect and Use Personal Information

 

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following terms will have the following meanings:

 

Business Contact Information” means your business position, name or title, business address, business telephone number, business email address and business fax number.

We will identify the purpose for collecting your Personal Information when we request such information.  We collect Personal Information only as necessary to provide services to you and will not use or disclose your Personal Information other than for the purpose for which it was collected, without your prior consent.  Without limitation, Satya may collect your Personal Information for the following purposes:

 

  • Providing Services and Sharing Information.  Your Personal Information may be collected and used by Satya to provide services to you via our Website or otherwise.  Your Personal Information may be used by Satya so that we can share information about Satya, the Website, and our Services with you.  We may use your Personal Information to communicate with you regarding your inquiries for information, service requests, employment opportunities or other issues as they relate to your use of the Website and the Services, and based on your Personal Information, we may send you personalized promotions or offers.

 

  • Project Information.  For certain projects being promoted via the Website, we may permit you to indicate your interest in such projects and to obtain further information about the project by completing a form and making a submission via the Website.  In that case, we will use the information requested on the sign-up form only for the purpose of facilitating communication with you about the project in which you are interested, and future Satya projects.  We may also use the information to allow us to tailor our future projects to meet your interests.

Satya also uses advertising and analytics cookies, such as Google Analytics, that let us analyze consumer behaviour, develop relevant insights, and then provide a more engaging brand experience. These cookies store information about what pages you visit, how long you spend on our Website, how you got there and what you click on.  Satya’s use of these third party cookies is to collect top-level information about how you use our Websites and provide information we need to improve the user experience and serve up the content our visitors find most useful.  We also use these cookies to tailor advertisements to you that we think might be of interest to you on our and other websites.

  • Other Uses of Personal Information

 

We may also use your Personal Information to detect, prevent or investigate security breaches or fraud, to protect our business and to maintain appropriate records for internal administrative purposes.

 

We may also use your Personal Information for such other purposes as may be introduced to this Privacy Policy from time to time upon notice being given to you.  For greater certainty, you hereby agree that sufficient notice includes making the Privacy Policy available on the Website.  You may withdraw your consent to collect, use and disclose Personal Information by contacting us as described in this Privacy Policy.  You may no longer be able to access our Services if you withdraw your consent.

 

  1. Our Disclosure of Personal Information

 

Satya may disclose Personal Information if a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order legally requires or authorizes us to do so.  We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that any third party to whom Personal Information is disclosed provide a comparable level of protection for your Personal Information, as provided in this Privacy Policy.

 

Additionally, Satya reserves the right to disclose and to transfer Personal Information to a third party in the event of a proposed or actual purchase, sale, merger, amalgamation, or any other type of acquisition, disposition, or financing of all or any portion of Satya or any of the assets or shares of Satya, provided that the third party represents that it will continue to use the information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

 

  1. Retention of Personal Information

 

We routinely destroy Personal Information that is no longer required for the purposes described herein, in accordance with applicable laws.

 

  1. Accuracy of Personal Information

 

Satya takes reasonable steps to ensure that any Personal Information in our custody is accurate and up-to-date for the purposes for which the Personal Information is to be used by Satya.  In most instances, we rely on users of the Services to notify us of any changes to their Personal Information provided by them.

  1. How We Protect Your Personal Information

 

Satya uses reasonable and appropriate measures, including encryption software, designed to help you secure your Personal Information against accidental or unlawful loss, access or disclosure.  Only staff and service providers who have a legitimate business purpose for accessing the Personal Information collected by us are authorized to do so.  Unauthorized use of Personal Information by anyone affiliated with Satya is prohibited and constitutes grounds for disciplinary action.  

 

You and you alone are responsible for ensuring that you do not disclose your account access information to third parties.  This includes but is not limited to not disclosing such information to anyone, ensuring that sufficient security software is installed and running on your computer, smartphone or tablet, that your network firewall is of sufficient quality and that your wireless connection is encrypted to a degree that will prevent third party access.  Satya is not responsible for any failure by you to secure your own device and its access to the Internet or your use of public, unsecured networks. Satya also is not responsible for any failure by you to eliminate malware.  These failures and others can make you vulnerable to privacy breaches and would put you and your data at risk.

 

  1. Links to Third Party Sites

 

The use of our Services may lead you to third party websites.  Those organizations are separate and distinct from Satya and have their own separate privacy policies.  We are not responsible in any way for how any third party collects, uses or discloses your Personal Information, so it is important to familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of these websites before providing your Personal Information to them.

 

  1. Individual Access

 

Upon written request to [email protected], you will be informed of the existence, use and disclosure of your Personal Information, and will be given access to that Personal Information.  Satya provides an opportunity for individuals to challenge the accuracy and completeness of their Personal Information and have it amended as appropriate.  You may also withdraw your consent to collect, use and disclose Personal Information by contacting us.

 

  1. Contacting Us

 

Accountability with respect to your Personal Information is important to Satya.  In the event that you have any questions (including how Personal Information is managed by Satya), complaints or concerns about this Privacy Policy, or if you have reason to believe that we may have failed to adhere to it, please contact us by sending an email.  Questions regarding your rights and our responsibilities under this Privacy Policy can be directed to [email protected]
