Unite Save is a computer systems design and integration practice developed and operated by Unite Buy N Save Inc. We respect the privacy of every person who visits our website, contacts us, or uses our services, and we are committed to handling personal information with care, transparency, and accountability.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices available to you regarding that information. We encourage you to read this document in full so that you understand our practices before you provide any information to us.
By using our website at https://www.unitesave.hair or by engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this document, you should refrain from using our website and services.
2. Who We Are
Unite Save is operated by Unite Buy N Save Inc., a company organized under the laws of Canada and headquartered at Northeast 31-43-19-W3, Sweetgrass First Nation, Saskatchewan, S0M 0X0, Canada (CA). Our organization specializes in computer systems design and related services within the professional, scientific, and technical services sector.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the terms we, us, and our refer to Unite Buy N Save Inc. doing business as Unite Save. The term you refers to any individual who visits our website, communicates with us, or receives our services. The term personal information refers to any data that can be used, alone or in combination with other data, to identify an individual.
We act as a data controller for the personal information described in this policy. This means we determine the purposes for which personal information is collected and processed, and we are responsible for ensuring that processing complies with applicable privacy law.
3. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect through our website, through email and telephone communications with us, through our contact and inquiry forms, and in the course of delivering computer systems design and integration services to our clients.
This policy does not apply to information that has been fully anonymized or aggregated so that it can no longer be used to identify any individual, nor does it apply to the practices of third party websites that may be linked from our site. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third party services you choose to use.
Where our services involve processing personal information on behalf of a client as a service provider, the client may act as the data controller and we act as a data processor. In those situations, the clients privacy policy governs, and we process information only according to the instructions we receive under our service agreement.
4. Information We Collect
4.1 Information You Provide Directly
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you complete a contact form, subscribe to our newsletter, request a consultation, respond to a survey, or communicate with us by email, telephone, or any other channel. This information may include your name, email address, telephone number, company name, job title, mailing address, and the content of your inquiry or message.
4.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information about your device and your visit. This may include your internet protocol address, browser type and version, operating system, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, the referring website, and other diagnostic data. This information is used to maintain the security and performance of our website and to understand how visitors use it.
4.3 Information from Third Parties
We may receive personal information from third parties in limited circumstances, such as when a colleague refers you to us, when a business partner shares your contact details for a joint project, or when a service provider supplies information necessary to provide our services. We only use information from third parties in ways that are consistent with this policy and applicable law.
4.4 Sensitive Information
We generally do not ask for sensitive personal information, such as information about health, race, religion, or biometric data. If you choose to provide sensitive information to us, you do so voluntarily, and we will handle it with appropriate safeguards and only for the purpose for which it was provided.
5. How We Collect Information
We collect personal information through several methods. Direct collection occurs when you submit forms, send us email, call our office, or meet with our team. Automatic collection occurs through standard web technologies such as server logs and cookies when you browse our website. Indirect collection occurs when we receive information about you from third parties with whom we have a legitimate business relationship.
We strive to collect personal information only by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with your knowledge and consent. We limit the information we collect to what is reasonably necessary to provide our services and to respond to your requests. We do not collect information through deceptive or misleading practices.
If you provide us with personal information about another individual, such as a colleague whose contact details you share as part of a project, you confirm that you have the authority to do so and that the individual understands how we will use that information as described in this policy.
6. How We Use Information
We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes. First, to respond to your inquiries and provide customer support. Second, to deliver the computer systems design, integration, and managed services that you request from us. Third, to send you information about our services, updates, and promotional content where you have consented to receive such communications.
We also use information to improve and maintain our website and services, to diagnose and resolve technical problems, to protect the security and integrity of our systems, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and to enforce our agreements and policies. We may use aggregated or anonymized information for research, analytics, and business planning purposes.
We do not use automated decision making that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you. Where we use analytics to understand website usage, we rely on aggregated data that does not identify you personally unless required for a specific purpose for which we have a lawful basis.
7. Legal Bases for Processing
We process personal information under the legal bases provided by applicable data protection law. Where you have given consent, we process information on that basis, and you may withdraw consent at any time. Where processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering a contract, we process on the basis of contract performance.
We also process information where necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject, and where necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests include improving our services, protecting our systems, and marketing our services to organizations that may benefit from them.
Where you are located in a jurisdiction that requires a specific legal basis, we identify and document that basis before processing. If you have questions about the legal basis for a particular processing activity, you may contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.
10. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy and to comply with our legal, accounting, and reporting obligations. The specific retention period depends on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.
Inquiry and correspondence records are generally retained for a period of up to twenty four months unless an ongoing client relationship or legal obligation requires a longer period. Contractual and financial records may be retained for the duration required by applicable tax and commercial law, which may be several years after the end of the relevant engagement.
When personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. Where technical or operational constraints prevent immediate deletion, we isolate the information and restrict access to it until deletion is feasible.
11. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include access controls, encryption in transit, network monitoring, and regular security reviews. We also train our staff on privacy and security practices.
While we work hard to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and we encourage you to take reasonable precautions when communicating sensitive information online. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately.
In the event of a data breach affecting personal information, we will assess the incident and, where required by law, notify affected individuals and relevant authorities without undue delay. We maintain an incident response plan to detect, contain, and remediate security events.
12. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to access the information we hold about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate information, the right to request deletion of your information, and the right to object to or restrict certain processing activities.
You may also have the right to data portability, which allows you to receive a copy of your information in a structured and commonly used format, and the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the How to Contact Us section.
We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by applicable law, which is generally within thirty days. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe we have not handled your information in accordance with the law.
13. International Data Transfers
Unite Save is based in Canada, and your personal information is primarily processed in Canada. In some cases, our service providers may be located in other countries, including the United States, and your information may be transferred to and processed in those locations.
When we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information, such as contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or other mechanisms recognized by applicable data protection law. We only transfer information where a lawful basis for the transfer exists.
By using our services, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries whose data protection laws may differ from those of your own country. We remain responsible for ensuring that such transfers comply with this policy and applicable law.
14. Privacy for Children
Our website and services are intended for use by individuals who are eighteen years of age or older, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are under the age of eighteen, please do not use our website or submit any personal information to us.
If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as quickly as possible. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided information to us, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
We do not market our services to children, and we do not use personal information of children for advertising or profiling purposes. Our systems are designed for professional and business use by adults.
15. Third Party Services
Our website may contain links to third party websites, plugins, and services that are not operated by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices or the content of their websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party services you use.
Where we integrate third party services into our own systems as part of delivering our services to clients, those services may process information under their own terms. We select third party providers with care and require them to meet reasonable security and privacy standards, but we cannot control their independent processing activities.
If you interact with us through social media platforms or other external channels, the privacy practices of those platforms will also apply. Information you share publicly on those platforms is not covered by this policy.
16. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or the services we offer. When we make material changes, we will update the last updated date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide a more prominent notice.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of our website and services after any changes to this policy will constitute your acceptance of the revised policy.
If we intend to use personal information for a purpose materially different from the purpose for which it was originally collected, we will seek your consent before doing so where required by law.
