This policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website and interact with our marketplace platform.

Our website address is: https://conectaimmigrant.com

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

We may collect the following types of personal information:

– Name, email address, phone number

– Billing and payment information

– Communication preferences

– Any information provided through our contact or registration forms

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Use of Information

We use your information to:

– Facilitate transactions between clients and third-party service providers

– Communicate with you about your account or service

– Improve user experience and platform performance

– Comply with legal and regulatory obligations

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Disclosure to Third Parties

We operate as a marketplace platform and connect users with independent third-party service providers. By using our platform, you understand and accept that:

– Services are provided directly by third-party contractors.

– We do not control the quality or legality of services rendered by providers.

– Personal information relevant to service delivery (e.g. contact info) may be shared with providers, as required to fulfill the requested service.

Each provider is independently responsible for their compliance with privacy laws and proper handling of your data.

Responsibilities of Users and Providers

– Users must request receipts or invoices (tickets) directly from the provider for any service rendered, as may be required by Canadian tax authorities or other entities.

– Providers, upon acceptance into our platform, certify that they are trained, qualified, and licensed to perform the services they offer in compliance with Canadian regulations.

You have the right to:

– Access or update your information

– Withdraw consent

– Request deletion of your data (subject to legal requirements)
