​
The Personal Information we collect may be used by Boom Group Inc (BOOM) for the purposes for which it was collected, as provided in this Privacy Policy, or for other purposes that are disclosed to you and to which you consent. For example, we may use your Personal Information to:
​​
-

To send you informational or promotional communications that you have agreed to receive;
-
To customize our Site based on the information you choose to submit to us.

-
To carry out other purposes that are disclosed to you and to which you consent;
-
To carry out any other purpose permitted or required by law.
​
We may use information that does not identify you personally in the aggregate for analytical purposes and market research. We may disclose this non-identifiable, aggregate information to other organizations we work with.
​
We may transfer your Personal Information to third party service providers that assist us with carrying out these purposes. For example, we may use a data processing contractor to operate computer systems on our behalf. Whenever any Personal Information is transferred to such a third party, that party will be contractually bound to use such Personal Information only to carry out the services we have requested, to abide by our Privacy Policy and provide adequate protection for the Personal Information.
​
We may use external service providers that store or process Personal Information on computers located outside of Canada, including in the United States, whose data protection laws may differ from those in Canada. As a result, the Personal Information may be subject to access requests from U.S. governments, courts, law enforcement officials and national security authorities in the United States according to their laws. Subject to these laws, we will ensure that appropriate protections are in place to maintain protections on the Information that are equivalent to those that apply in Canada.
​
We comply with Federal and Provincial requirements related to the protection and use of your personal information. This means that we may share personal information when required by law or legal process, and we will endeavor to ask for and obtain your permission in such situations. We may also be required to obtain your authorization before disclosing certain types of personal information.
​
We may also disclose your Personal Information to third parties if we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to: (i) conduct investigations of possible breaches of law; (ii) identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating an agreement they have with us; or (iii) to protect our rights, safety or property.
​
We may share personal information if we believe it is necessary in order to detect, investigate, prevent, or take action against illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the rights, property, or personal safety of any person.
​
We reserve the right to transfer any Personal Information we have about you in the event that we merge with or are acquired by a third party. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, your personal information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract. We cannot control how such entities may use or disclose such personal information.
​
We may share your personal information as appropriate to carry out any other legitimate business purposes permitted by law, such as sharing with our service providers and other partners that provide support to us when providing services to you.
​
How we Protect Personal Information
The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We protect your Personal Information by maintaining physical, organizational and technological safeguards (appropriate to the sensitivity of such Personal Information) and designed to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure or access. Personal Information may only be accessed by persons within our organization, or our third party service providers, who require such access to provide you with the services indicated above. Personal Information we collect is maintained with the source of the information on servers based in North America.
​
We retain Personal Information that we collect only as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to meet any legal requirements. We have retention standards which meet these requirements. We destroy Personal Information when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected.
​
Although we have taken reasonable and prudent measures to protect this Site, computer systems and any Personal Information that it has collected from unauthorized use, access, disclosure, misuse, alteration or destruction, no security measures can provide absolute protection. As a result, while we are committed to protecting your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us.

We will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request; however, in some cases we may not be able to allow you to access certain Personal Information in certain circumstances, for example if it contains Personal Information of other persons, or for legal reasons. In such cases, we will provide you with a reasonable explanation of why it is not possible to grant access to your Personal Information.
