You may also, at any time, and subject to reasonable notice and applicable legal or contractual restrictions, withdraw your consent (if any) to the processing of your Personal Information in our possession by contacting us. You should be aware, however, that if you choose not to provide us with your Personal Information, this may prevent you, for example, from using the Website, as this information is essential to such use.

For Secondary Purposes:

Depending on the circumstances, Casella may also aggregate and anonymize Personal Information that you have provided to create statistical data which Casella may use for secondary purposes, such as for market research, and demographic studies to improve the Website and our products, examine trends and interests or train machine learning algorithms. Such statistical data does not include any Personal Information.

5) HOW DO WE SHARE AND DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Casella does not rent nor sell any of your Personal Information to third parties and will not share it with third parties without your consent unless it is necessary to do so by law or for the Purposes as set forth below.

With our employees:

In the course of their work, employees may need to access your Personal Information, for example, when you contact us or request support. Their access is limited to what is necessary to perform their duties.

With Our Strategic Partners:

Casella may share your Personal Information with its partners to facilitate its business, such as developers, payment processors and hosting services providers. Our service providers may have access to your Personal Information for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where Casella utilizes third parties for the processing of any Personal Information, Casella strives to implement commercially reasonable contractual and technical protections in order for such third parties to keep all Personal Information they process strictly confidential. Please note that these third parties may be located elsewhere than your location in which case, commercially reasonable measures are taken by Casella as set forth below in the Section “Where is your Personal Information stored and transferred?”.

When Required by Applicable Laws 

We may also share your Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (i) conform with the law; (ii) comply with the order of a competent judicial authority in any jurisdiction; (iii) comply with the legal process served on Casella; (iv) protect and defend the rights or property of Casella; (v) enforce or verify your compliance with any part of the agreements that you have entered into with Casella, if any; (vi) prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Website; or (vii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Website or the public at large.

When Transferring a Business:

We may share your Personal Information without your permission when our operations require it (in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, for example). As part of this kind of event, we may also share some or all of your Personal Information to the relevant third-party (or its advisors) as part of a due diligence process.

For Other Purposes With Your Consent:

Where you have expressly consented, your Personal Information may be shared with other third parties. For example, there may be specific instances where additional conditions apply and through these we make it clear that specific third parties are processing your Personal Information.

6. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND PLATFORMS

We may include links on the Website to third-party sites or services that we do not control, for example, if you use an embedded feature of Google or social networks (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Pinterest). These third parties may share certain information about you with us. Your activities on the Website may be displayed on social networking platforms. If you click on any of these links, you will be directed to sites that we do not control.

This Policy applies only to Personal Information processed by or on behalf of Casella.

7. WHERE IS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION STORED AND TRANSFERRED?

Your Personal Information may be held by Casella in locations other than your province, territory or country of residence, including in Australia. Casella may also outsource the processing of your Personal Information or share it with third parties located elsewhere, including in locations other than your province or territory of residence. In such cases, Casella will ensure that your Personal Information is adequately protected by appropriate technical, organizational, contractual or other legal means, and shall proceed with the required privacy impact assessment before disclosing or transferring any Personal Information outside of Canada, and more specifically outside of the Province of Québec. If you would like more information about these security measures, please contact us as set forth in the Section “How to contact us?”.

8. HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Personal Information will be retained only as long as necessary for the fulfilment of the Purposes or as required by law. At the end of such period, we strive to destroy or anonymize this information. To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the Purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those Purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements. If you would like more information on this subject, we invite you to contact us.

9. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

With necessary and appropriate security measures:

Casella has security measures in place to protect your Personal Information. The standard security measures we use will depend on the type of information collected. However, Casella uses physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your Personal Information. We encourage you to be cautious when using the Internet. This includes not sharing your passwords. If you think an unauthorized account has been created using your name, please contact us as set forth in Section “How to contact us?”.

Children’s Privacy:

The Website is only available and designed for individuals who have reached the age of maturity in their respective province of residence. Casella does not knowingly process any Personal Information from children under the age maturity.
