At Soukaway we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it by complying with this policy.
This policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal information of purchasers and other users of this website and our services (together the “Marketplace”).
We will only use your personal information in accordance with this policy unless otherwise required by applicable law.
Privacy laws in Canada generally define “personal information” as any information about an identifiable individual, which includes information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person.
This policy applies to information we collect, use, or disclose about you on the Marketplace and in any email, text or other electronic messages between you and Soukaway.
The Marketplace may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks, or applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow the third party to collect or share data about you. If you follow a link to a third-party website or engage a thirdparty plugin, please note that these third parties have their own privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. We do not control these third-party websites, and we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices for collecting, processing, and storing your information.
This privacy policy applies to all visitors to our website at www.soukaway.com (the “Site”) as well as all users of our Soukaway services, whether you are a vendor (“Vendor”) or purchaser.
If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Marketplace. By accessing or using the Marketplace, you indicate that you understand, accept, and consent to the practices described in this policy. This policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of the Marketplace after we make changes indicates that you accept and consent to those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.
We will notify you in advance of any material changes to this policy and obtain your consent to any new ways that we collect, use, and disclose your personal information.
We collect and use several types of information from visitors to the Marketplace, including from purchasers of products or services from Vendors on the Marketplace.

Soukaway may also collect certain technical information, including login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, or information about your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Marketplace, and usage details.

We may transfer personal information that we collect or that you provide as described in this policy to contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business (such as analytics and search engine providers that assist us with Marketplace improvement and optimization) and who are contractually obligated to keep personal information confidential, use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them, and to process the personal information with the same standards set out in this policy.
We may process, store, and transfer your personal information in and to a foreign country, with different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as Canadian law.
