USA Vancouver Policy

My official business Name is “Explore Vancouver USA. LLC” I shortened the website URL to usavancouver.com because I thought it was easier to type and remember. 🙂
This is the “official” wording of the privacy policy – basically I do not use any of your information to share with anyone, at any time for any reason except to contact you about a purchase or in response to an email or contact request.
Some third parties I am using (for now just Amazon) may retain some of your information (none of which is available or used by me).
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from https://explorevancouverusa.com (the “Site”).

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit USA Vancouver, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org. - “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. - “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site. Google Analytics helps me to see if any pages are being visited and are useful for creating more content on that topic.
Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”
Currently I am an Amazon Affiliate marketer and while Amazon may keep some of your information, none of that is available to me nor would I use it anyway. 🙂
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

How Do We Use Your Personal Information?

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

Sharing Your Personal Information

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

Behavioural Advertising
