ABOUT THIS POLICY
The privacy and security of your
confidential information is very
important to OmegaTech (collectively
referred to as "we", "us"
or "OmegaTech"). This
privacy policy describes what information
we collect, how we use that information
in providing our products and services
to you and how you may opt out of
receiving product updates and other
information from us.
Note: that not all sections of this
policy apply to all services or
users.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
Information includes your name,
address, email address, IP address
and may include credit card or bank
account number, and reserve the
right in the future to link such
usage information to contact information
or personal monpublic information
for each customer or visitor to
our web sites in order to better
understand which information or
services are of more value to our
customers.
USE OF
INFORMATION
This information is used to inform
you of updates or changes to the
Service. We may notify you of products
and services offered by us, our
resellers, affiliates and other
third parties that we believe might
be of interest to you.
By linking to CanadaGraphics.com,
you agree to receive e-mail news,
products and services offered by
us through your e-mail address provided
in Design Award Application.
We use your IP
address to help diagnose problems
with our server, to administer our
web site and collect regional demographic
information. We use contact information
from the registration form to send
the user promotional material from
some of our partners. Contact information
is also used to contact the visitor
when necessary.
We do not track
what individual users read, but
rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue
to build a better service for you.
ADVERTISERS
OmegaTech never shares advertiser's
individual personal information
with anyone, so an advertiser will
never know that a specific user
clicked their ad, and we don't track
which terms a particular user enters.
COOKIES

which areas need improvement, and
what technologies are being used
so that we may continually improve

in the future to link such usage
information to Contact Information
or Personal Nonpublic Information
in order to securely verify your
identity, to personalize aspects
of your experience on our web sites
and to better understand which information
or services are of greater value
to our customers.

Limited gathers the e-mail addresses
of users who voluntarily subscribe.

from any mailing list by following
the instructions contained in every

SURVEYS
OmegaTech occasionally conducts
customer surveys to better target
our content and product inventory
to our audience. We sometimes share
the aggregated demographic information
in these surveys with our advertisers
and partners. We never share any
information about specific individuals
with any third party, except as
noted previously.
TRACKING
OmegaTech tracks user traffic patterns
throughout OmegaTech.com and this
information is correlated with data
about individual users. Overall
usage statistics, according to a
user's domain name, browser type
and MIME type gotten by reading
this information from the browser
string (information contained in
every user's browser), are also
broken down. We also tracks and
catalogs the search terms that customers
enter into our search tools, but
this tracking is never associated
with individual users.

Users may unsubscribe to any of
our electronic newsletters at any
time by following the instructions
contained at the end of each newsletter.
DISCLOSURE
We may provide order information
obtained by cookies and shopper
preference information (or a subset
of such information) to third party
resellers of the Service, merchants
and third parties who are affiliated
with our Service, provide services
to us in support of the Service
or advertise on the Service.
OmegaTech does
not typically sell information about
its customers and we will only share
your information under very limited
circumstances - always under strict
controls against disclosure. It
is necessary to share such information,
for example, with outside vendors
who assist us in sending communications,
shareholder reports and proxy materials
to you, securities transfer agents
who effect transactions in securities
on your behalf, and trust companies
that assist us in providing products
to you. We require these vendors
to keep your information confidential
and we prohibit them from using
your information for their own purposes.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
There are occasions where we may
ask for additional information.
We do this to be able to better
understand your needs, and provide
you with services that we believe
may be valuable to you. Prior to
collecting additional information,
we will explain the purpose for
which the information will be used.
In addition, we may keep information
regarding your communications with
us such as emails and feedback.
SECURITY
OmegaTech takes the security of
information very seriously and has
established security standards and
procedures to prevent unauthorized
access to customer information.
We use industry standard means such
as physical, electronic and procedural
safeguards, including data encryption
and secure socket layer technology.
We update and test our technology
regularly to maintain and improve
the protection of our customers'
information. We restrict access
to personal information to employees
and service providers for legitimate
business purposes to assist in providing
services to you. Employees who violate
our privacy policy are subject to
disciplinary action.
We will take appropriate
steps to protect your privacy. Whenever
you provide sensitive information
(for example, a bank account or
credit card number), we will take
reasonable steps to protect it.
We will also take reasonable security
measures to protect your personal
information in storage. Credit card
numbers are used only for payment
processing and are not used for
marketing purposes.
