Privacy Policy
Revised: March 12, 2011
Your Missing Link has created this privacy policy in order to demonstrate the our commitment to the privacy of our guests. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for YourMissingLink.ca, and any other website under which we conduct business.
GENERAL SUMMARY
At Your Missing Link, our privacy policy is pretty simple: we will not share your personal information with anyone. Any information you provide us will be kept strictly confidential.
We hate spam as much as you do. When you subscribe to our newsletter list, we’ll email you our e-newsletter and promotional info to let you know about new services or products, upcoming sales, contests and the latest and greatest goings-on at Your Missing Link. We’ll never give your email address to any other company and you can unsubscribe at any time.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy, the practices of this site, or your dealings with YourMissingLink.ca, please contact me at tim@yourmissinglink.ca.
YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS / MODIFICATIONS
By using this website, you indicate your acceptance of all terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our websites. Your continued use of any Your Missing Link website following the posting of changes to these terms indicates your acceptance of those changes.
USE OF IP ADDRESSES
An IP address is a number which is assigned to your computer when you are online. Web servers identify your computer by its IP address. YourMissingLink.ca may collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to audit the use of our site. When our guests request pages from YourMissingLink.ca websites, our servers log the guests’ IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user’s session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to YourMissingLink.ca and other users. We will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to protect our service, site, customers, or others.
USE OF COOKIES
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make browsing the Internet easier for you by saving your preferences while you access a website. YourMissingLink.ca never saves passwords in cookies. By showing how and when users use a website, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the YourMissingLink.ca web content are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our users’ needs. YourMissingLink.ca uses cookies primarily in two ways. First, we use them to specify unique preferences so that you do not have to tell us repeatedly about the content you are interested in. Secondly, we use cookies to track user trends and patterns, so we can improve areas of the YourMissingLink.ca online experience that our users find valuable. While both of these activities depend on the use of a cookie, visitors to YourMissingLink.ca always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. Please note that some parts of the YourMissingLink.ca service may not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies.
Other Information We Collect and Our Use and Disclosure of Your Information
We occasionally send emails and newsletters to our users, announcing special promotions changes in our services, and other information we believe will be of interest to our users. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site.
If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on our site, we may collect such information into a file specific to you. We would use information in the file that we maintain for you, and other information that we obtain from your use of the services, to resolve disputes or troubleshoot problems.
None of the information you provide will be shared with any third parties outside of Your Missing Link, and your information will never be used to solicit your purchase of third party goods or services.
We cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability.
Linked Sites
For your convenience, this website contains links to other websites. Your Missing Link is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. Users should be aware that when they are on YourMissingLink.ca, they could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from YourMissingLink.ca pages that take you outside our service. For example, if you click on a banner advertisement, doing so may direct you off of YourMissingLink.ca. Such other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information. Whenever you give out personal information online (for example, via message boards or chat rooms) information can be collected and used by other people. While YourMissingLink.ca strives to protect our users’ personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and you do so at your own risk.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. All user information is stored on a server operated by a third party, using standard security measures. Notwithstanding these efforts, we caution you that “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet and therefore you share information at your own risk.

To keep you in control of your personal information and the communications directed to you, we allow you to opt out of the following services: receiving communications (including our newsletters) from us.
