Odysseytvplus understands how important your privacy is to you and is committed to protecting and
safeguarding the personal information which you have entrusted us with. This privacy policy
outlines the
manner in which Odysseytvplus collects, uses, discloses and manages your personal information.
This
privacy policy is based upon and adheres to the Privacy Principles set out in the federal
government’s
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). When we refer to
“personal
information” within this policy, we mean any information about an identifiable individual, such
as your
name, address, e-mail address, birth date and gender, but this does not include the name, title
or
business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization.
We recommend that you review this policy in its entirety and revisit it periodically, as it may
change
from time to time.
- Purposes for Collection, Use and Disclosure:
We will identify the purposes for which we collect, use or disclose personal information at
or before the time of collection. The purposes will be limited to those related to our
business and to those that a reasonable person would consider appropriate. In most cases,
these purposes will be clearly identified in writing. In other cases, depending on the
circumstances, the purposes will be implied. For instance, when you sign up to receive a
“Odysseytvplus A-List” eNewsletter, you implicitly give us your permission to use your
personal information to administer and deliver this service to you. If we intend to use this
personal information for purposes not previously identified, we will identify this new
purpose before such use.
-
Consent:
We will obtain your consent for the collection, use and disclosure of your personal
information except where inappropriate. How we obtain your consent will depend on the
circumstances, as well as the sensitivity of the information collected. We may seek your
consent orally or in writing.
Typically, we will seek your consent at the time your personal information is collected.
Where we want to use your personal information for a purpose not previously identified to
you at the time of collection, we will seek your consent prior to our use of such
information for this new purpose.
You may withdraw your consent at any time to any of the uses contemplated in this privacy
policy. Simply, contact a representative of our privacy office at the following e-mail
address to have your consent withdrawn: privacyofficer@odysseytvplus.ca . Please note,
however, that withdrawing your consent to some of the contemplated uses may render it
impossible to continue to provide a service which you have currently requested.
- Information We Collect and Use:
We collect your personal information in a number of different ways. For instance, we collect
information from you when you sign up for our A-List eNewsletter, register for one of our
contests or promotions or complete market research studies conducted by us from time to
time. We also collect your information when you post a comment, submit an inquiry, make a
purchase or subscribe to a product or service from us. We may also collect your personal
information when you request information from us to process a complaint that you have
registered with us. For the most part, the type of personal information we collect from you
includes the following: name, email address, gender, age, phone number, television/cable
service provider and other contact information and personal preferences (when applicable).
We will limit the amount and type of personal information collected from you to that which
is necessary for the purposes we have communicated to you. Further, we will retain your
personal information only for so long as is necessary to fulfil our stated purposes.
Upon receiving proper consent from you, we may wish to include your email address in our
email list to create a “Lookalike” audience. A “Lookalike” audience on Facebook allows us to
reach out to more people who resemble our established client base. A lookalike audience uses
either an existing custom audience or conversion data (conversion pixels) as a “seed” and an
audience is built of similar users. Lookalike audiences can be used to support certain
business objectives, such as: fan acquisition, site registration, or simply to drive
awareness to our brand.
We use a browser feature called a “cookie” to collect information anonymously and track user
patterns on our Website. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a
website. “Cookies” contain a unique identification number that identifies your browser, but
not you, to our computers each time you visit our Website. Cookies tell us which pages of
our Website are visited and by how many people. The use of cookies is an industry standard
and many major browsers are initially set up to accept them. You can reset your browser to
either refuse to accept all cookies or to notify you when you have received a cookie.
However, if you refuse to accept cookies, you may not be able to use some of the features
available on our Website.
In addition to cookies, we may use the following collection methods: third party cookies,
pixel tracking, track location, beaconing, advertising networks and Google Analytics. We may
use these methods, as well as collect and use your IP address or domain name, to tailor your
experience or to assess the amount of traffic on our site.
Our Site contains links to other third party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy
policies or content on such sites.

Use of personal information:
We may use your personal information in any of the following ways:
To provide you with services or information that you have requested from us. This would
include the A-List eNewsletter services, contests, promotions, subscription and package
details;
To manage your A-List account;
To better understand your interests or preferences, so that we may recommend particular
products, offers or services that are consistent with these interests and preferences;
To conduct market research; and
To process customer complaints and feedback.
5. Disclosure of personal information:
Except as set out below, we will not sell, rent, transfer, or disclose your personal
information to any third party without your consent:
We may disclose certain personal information to third parties solely for the purpose of
administering, processing, or fulfilling an order or service you have requested on our
behalf. We will insist that any such third parties maintain the confidentiality of the
personal information we provide them and to implement appropriate safeguards to prevent its
unauthorized disclosure; and
We may also disclose your personal information in connection with a corporate
reorganization, merger or amalgamation, or pursuant to a sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of Odysseytvplus or a division of Odysseytvplus, provided that the uses of such
personal information so disclosed continue to be the uses permitted by this privacy policy.
- Security:
The security of your personal information is important to us. Odysseytvplus takes technical,
contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to protect the personal information
that you provide to us. We instruct our employees with access to your personal information
that it is to be used only in adherence with the principles set forth in this privacy policy
and the laws applicable to each specific business.
In certain areas, such as when you provide credit card information to us, we work to help
protect the security of your credit card information during transmission by using industry
standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology.
You can help protect the security of your personal information as well. For instance, never
give out your password, since this is what is used to access your account or registration
information. Also, remember to log out of your account and close your browser window when
you finish using any of the Odysseytvplus Sites or surfing the Web, so that other people
using the same computer won’t have access to your information.
-
Access to Your Information:
We will give you access to the information we retain about you. We will make every
reasonable effort to keep your information accurate and up-to-date. Upon your request, you
shall be informed of the existence, use and disclosure of your information. You may verify
the accuracy and completeness of your information, and may request that it be amended, if
appropriate. Simply send us an e-mail at privacyofficer@odysseytvplus.ca , and we will look
after your request.
If you have any questions, comments, complaints or suggestions about this privacy policy or
Odysseytvplus's privacy practices, or wish to withdraw your consent to our use of your
personal information for any of the purposes contemplated herein you can contact our Privacy
Office either via e-mail at privacyofficer@odysseytvplus.ca.
