Privacy

TIMEX Group Canada, Inc. (together with its parent, subsidiary and other affiliated companies "Timex" or "we") are pleased to advise you of our practices regarding any personal information we might collect when you visit our website.

At Timex, we take the issue of safeguarding privacy seriously and are committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of the personal information entrusted to us. Our Privacy Policy has been designed to comply with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and other applicable federal and provincial privacy laws relating to the protection of personal information (collectively, "Privacy Legislation"). All of our employees, contractors, consultants, agents and third party service providers are bound to comply with this Privacy Policy. By using our website and/or making online purchases of Timex products and services, you are consenting to the collection and use of information as is outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Other websites that may be linked to/from the Timex.ca website may have different policies. You should review the policies on these other websites to understand their policies and practices.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

When you register for an account or choose to buy products or services on our website, you may be asked to provide certain "personal information" (as defined under Privacy Legislation) about yourself, including your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, postal code, language preferences, credit card information and other contact information. We may also collect personal information from you when you complete an entry form to participate in a contest, ballot, promotion or survey, whether online or at an in-store event, by signing up for our newsletter (if any), by communicating with us by telephone, e-mail, in-store or otherwise, or by introducing or posting any text, image, video, audio, or any information, content or other materials through any of Timex social networking websites and web pages such as Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.

This information will only be used for identification purposes, to facilitate purchase transactions, improve user experience, manage customer-business relations and provide the high level of service our customers have come to expect. We only collect personal information necessary to provide you with the products and services requested.

Timex does not disclose any non-public personal information about prospective, existing or former customers or users to anyone, except as permitted by law and regulation, as authorized by the relevant individual in writing or in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may share your personal information with third party service providers located in Canada and the United States. For example, we may use service providers to send email or other communications, analyze the effectiveness of our website, operate certain features of our website and process payments for goods and services. Personal information collected on the website may also be disclosed or transferred to a purchaser of all or some of Timex's assets or business.

We only share your information with third parties for completion of the above uses, and any third party's use must adhere to this Privacy Policy and all applicable laws. We do not authorize third parties to use or disclose personal information for their own marketing or any other purposes without your express consent.

SAFEGUARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We employ organizational, physical and technological safeguards to restrict access to non-public personal information about customers to those employees and agents of Timex who need to know that information in order to provide our services, and to protect personal information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

We will only keep your personal information on our records so long as it is needed for its identified purpose. Files are destroyed when there is no longer any possibility of them being used for administrative or legal purposes or because we are obligated to do so by law. We will ensure that all reasonable steps are taken in the disposal or destruction of personal information to prevent unauthorized parties from gaining access, including shredding paper records and permanently deleting electronic data.

HOW TO ACCESS AND UPDATE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Timex will do its best to ensure that your personal information is correct and kept current. With certain limited exceptions as provided in Privacy Legislation, you have the right to access your personal information held by Timex and, as the case may be, to request that the information be corrected if it is inaccurate, incomplete or collected in violation of the law. You may update or correct information about yourself by emailing us at privacy@timex.ca or, if you are a registered user of our website, via the MyAccount portal. In circumstances where your personal information has been provided to Timex by a third party, we will refer you to that third party.

WITHDRAWING YOUR CONSENT

You may withdraw your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy at any time upon reasonable notice to Timex in writing, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. The withdrawal of your consent may affect our ability to continue to provide you with the products and services that you have or would like to receive.

You may also opt out of receiving promotional emails from Timex by following the instructions in those emails. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as messages about your account or our ongoing business relations
