This Privacy Policy of Perfice spells out the obligations of the Users. This Privacy Policy is in continuation of the Terms of Service of Elkor Technologies Inc., therefore both documents need to be read together.
Elkor takes your privacy seriously. We collect the following types of information about you: name, address, email, phone number, data uploaded by Elkor’s end devices via customer approval. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information that applies to our Service, and your choices about the collection and use of your information.
This privacy policy has been developed in compliance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA"). PIPEDA sets out rules for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in the course of commercial activity as defined in the Act. Along with PIPEDA this privacy policy is also in compliance with Provincial Privacy Laws which are in addition to PIPEDA, such as British Columbia: Personal Information Protection Act; and Alberta: Personal Information Protection Act.
Elkor shall not (a) be subject to any obligations of confidentiality regarding any User Generated Content except as specified in Elkor’s Privacy Policy, or as otherwise specifically agreed to or required by law; (b) be obligated to pay you or any third party any compensation for any User Generated Content; and (c) be required to respond to any of your submissions as User Generated Content.
We reserve the right to amend our Privacy Policy from time to time and will update the Website/App with the most recent version. It is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy to ensure that you are familiar with the most current provisions. If any changes are material, we may provide additional notice and/or opportunity to “opt-in” as appropriate.
Depending on how the User uses the Website/App, we may ask the User to share personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") with us. Whether you choose to share your Personal Information is completely up to you, but you must keep in mind that you may not be able to access some of the areas of the Website/App as effectively and fully use the services we offer on the Website/App without sharing adequate Personal Information. Personal Information includes any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact or locate the User. We shall be capturing the basic information while setting up your profile such as your name and e-mail address.
Cookies When you visit Websites, your browser may automatically transmit information to these Website/Apps throughout the visit. We use “cookies” and equivalent technologies to collect information through our Site. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that act as a unique tag to identify your browser. Our cookies do not, by themselves, contain Personal Information, and we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with other Personal Information to tell us who you are. As noted, however, we do use cookies to identify that your web browser has accessed aspects of the Services and may associate that information with your Account if you have one. Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave cookies active, because they enable you to take advantage of the most attractive features of the Services. This Privacy Policy covers our use of cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies by third parties. We do not control when or how third parties place cookies on your computer. For example, third party Websites/Apps to which a link points may set cookies on your computer
Our primary goal in collecting your information is to provide you with an enhanced experience when using the Services. We use your information to closely monitor which features of the Services are used most, and to determine which features we need to focus on improving, including usage patterns.
We also use information that we collect about you or that you provide us:
We may release Personal Information or other information we collect, if we believe that such action is necessary to: (I) comply with legal requirements and processes; (II) identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities who are or we believe have caused or might cause injury to us or a third party; (III) defend or respond to claims brought or threatened against us, our employees, service providers, users of our Services or others; (IV) vendors, service providers, and technicians who help with some of our processing and storage, including helping to answer your questions; and/or (V) otherwise to protect, assert rights, interests of Elkor and of our employees, service providers, Users of the Services or others. Any such release decisions may be made by us at our sole discretion. In addition, since member information on our Site is a business asset, in case we are reorganized or sold to or merged with another company, we may sell, assign, or transfer your personal information to a purchaser of all or substantially all of our business assets, or to an affiliate, as applicable.
Third Party Platforms: In order to provide you the best service Elkor may connect to various third-party devices and services, however, these connections are fully controlled by us and no Third Party shall be able to send Users messages or advertise their services on our platform without Elkor discretion. The Site/App may link to, or be linked to, other Sites/Apps not maintained by us. Elkor is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of any third parties or third-party Sites/Apps, including any linked or linking Apps. To the extent that you disclose personally identifiable information to any such third parties, different rules may apply to their use and disclosure of personal information that you disclose to them. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of such Sites/Apps before disclosing your personal information to them. If you link to Third Party Sites/Apps, you may be subject to those Third-Party Sites/Apps' terms and conditions and other policies. Elkor makes no representation or guarantee as to the accuracy or authenticity of the information contained in any such Third-Party Sites/App, and your linking to any other Site/App is completely at your own risk and Elkor disclaims all liability thereto.
We collect your name and e-mail address for the purpose of distributing our daily, weekly or monthly newsletter service. The e-mail address provided will be used for delivery of information you have requested from this Site/App. The information we collect is used expressly to provide the services requested. It is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes. We will never sell or rent your email address for any reason. Our Subscriptions are in compliance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Law (CASL), as amended on of July 1, 2014 To unsubscribe from our emails or other communications from us, you may follow the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email or sign onto your account and change settings.

We retain your personal information as long as your account subsists with us. Storage of uploaded device data (ie: metering/sensor data) depends on the terms of use for the particular service. It must be noted that on closure of the account your personal information stored with us may not get deleted immediately. In the event you desire immediate deletion of your data you may email us to that effect.
We implement and maintain reasonable security appropriate to the nature of the personal information that we collect, use, retain, transfer or otherwise process. Our reasonable security program is implemented and maintained in accordance with best practices. Accordingly, while our reasonable security program is designed to manage data security risks and thus help prevent data security incidents and breaches, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.
By using our Services and Marketing Activities you expressly give your consent for the collection and use of your personal information in compliance with this Privacy Policy. This does not affect lawful processing under applicable laws based on other legal basis such as contractual obligation, compliance with applicable laws, and legitimate purposes.

Our policies are compliant with Canadian Child Welfare Research Portal of Canada and Protection Act.

We do not knowingly collect or maintain Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered Personal Information from children younger than the age of 13, we will take reasonable measures to delete or destroy such information from our records.

We will make every reasonable effort to keep your Personal Information accurate and up-to-date, and we will provide you with mechanisms to update, correct, delete or add to your Personal Information as appropriate. As appropriate, this amended Personal Information will be transmitted to those parties to which we are permitted to disclose your information.
