Privacy Policy
Network Innovations is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors (hereinafter, the “Site“).
This policy sets out how we will treat your personal data and information.
Network Innovations has its headquarters in Canada. Information we collect from you will be processed in Canada and the United States. Canada has sought a finding of ‘adequacy’ from the European Union and the EU recognized Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) as providing adequate protection.
The United States has not sought nor received a finding of ‘adequacy’ from the European Union under Article 45 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). And Network Innovations relies on derogations for specific situations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR. In particular, Network Innovations collects and transfers personal information to the U.S. only a) to perform a contract with you; or b) to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of Network Innovations in a manner that does not outweigh your rights.
You expressly agree to such transfer of personal information which is a condition for your use of this Site.
Network Innovations endeavors to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal information and to use it consistent with your relationship with Network Innovations and the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
We do not engage in advertising, selling of personal information to third parties, or other such activities that use personal information for anything beyond provisioning of our products and service. Protecting your personal information is a priority for us.
Our Site also uses cookies. By accessing this Site, you consent and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy, and you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy.

(2) COOKIES
A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information. It is generated by a web server (which is basically the computer that operates a website) and can be used by that server whenever the user visits the site. A cookie can be thought of as an internet user's identification card, which tells a website when the user has returned.
Our cookies can't harm your computer and we don't store any personally identifiable information about you on any of our cookies.
This Site uses two types of cookies: cookies set by Network Innovations and cookies set by third parties (i.e. other websites or services).
Network Innovations' cookies enable us to keep you signed into your account throughout your visit and to tailor the information displayed on the Site to your preferences. These are strictly necessary cookies and are essential in helping you to move around our Site and use their features, such as accessing secure areas of the Site. These cookies don't gather any information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet.
Cookies set by third parties are cookies linked to services provided by third parties, such as ‘Like’ buttons and ‘Share’ buttons. A third party provides these services in return for recognising that you have visited our Site. An example of this includes a link to social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram that may subsequently use information about your visit to target advertising to you on other websites. All of these cookies are managed by third parties, and you may use the third parties' own tools to prevent these cookies.
We also use third party cookies to help us analyse how people are using our Site's features to improve it for future users. Beyond that, we also use cookies to integrate content with our social networks, such Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter.
If you would like more information about the cookies we use please contact us.

(4) YOUR CHOICE
If at any time you decide you do not want us to retain any personal information we collected from you when you registered on our Site, or otherwise collected about you from others, you may request we delete your information. Of course, once we delete your information you will no longer be registered with us and you will not have access to the services that are only available through registration.
Note: Even if you are not registered with us, we collect Navigation and click-stream data, HTTP protocol elements and search term data, which help us to optimize the browsing experience. This data is not personally identifiable if you are not registered on the Site.
The users of the Site are always given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information used for purposes not directly related to the Site at the point at which we ask for the information or when they receive an online requested promotional communication.
For example, our e-mail messages have an “unsubscribe” feature for users of the Site who don't want to be notified about special offers in the future. Users can simply ‘click’ on the “unsubscribe” button.
Further, you may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from Network Innovations. To opt out of receiving marketing communications please send an opt out email to Marketing@networkinnovations.com. Please note that, by opting out, you acknowledge and agree that you will not receive emails concerning promotions, campaigns, new products, upgrades and enhancements to Network Innovations products. However, we will continue to send you services-related (non-marketing) communications in connection with the administration of your account and products or services that you have requested from Network Innovations.
