Cookies can only be read by web browser in the domain that issued the cookie. Each cookie is uniquely assigned to you.

When you return to the same website, previous information provided is retrieved, allowing you to use the customized SCA features that you chose.

You may decline or accept cookies at any point. Unless it is set otherwise, most web browsers automatically accept cookies. However, If you decline cookies to be used, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the SCA website or services.

Personal Information Security

By using the following methods, we secure your personal information against unauthorized access, use, and/or disclosure.

For this we use the following methods:

  • One-way encryption
  • Securing data in a secured database
  • HTTPS protocols

Access to your data is also restricted to need-to-access individuals with assigned IP addresses, and while no data transmitted over the internet or wireless network can be 100% secure, we endeavor to take appropriate security measures to protect your data against unauthorized alteration on access to your personal information. With this we aim to protect your personal information, and you acknowledge that there are certain security and privacy limitations intrinsic to the internet which are beyond our control, and that security, privacy, and integrity, of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this website  cannot be guaranteed.

Please note that non-encrypted communication using email is not secure. We can thus not guarantee data security within email communication. In lieu of this, we recommend using physical mail for confidential information.

International Transfer

Since we operate across the world, we have to transfer your information internationally. More specifically, there is a likelihood that your information will be transferred and processed through servers in Canada. All countries have different laws, so when your information is moved to a foreign country, the rules and laws that protect your personal data might be different to those from your home country. If your information is in the United States, government authorities may access it in accordance with U.S. law.

In the event that we are deemed to transfer personal information outside the EEA, we rely on the following legal bases to transfer your information:

  • Model Clauses

    The European Commission has adopted what is known as Model Clauses, standard contractual clauses that safeguards personal information that is transferred outside of Europe. These Model Clauses are often used when transferring personal information outside of Europe. To request a copy of our Model Clauses, email: [email protected] .

  • Privacy Shield

    At this time SCA does not participate in Privacy Shield. That said, we may rely on the EU-US Privacy Shield to transfer personal information to certain third-party service providers in the United States, where these third-parties are certified to receive information of this nature under the Privacy Shield Program.

  • Necessary for the performance of the contract

    We provides a voluntary service, which means you are free to choose whether you want to purchase our Services or not. However, use and purchase of our service is subject to agreement to our Terms of Sale (which is set out between SCA and our Customers).

Since we in countries across the globe, and may use technical infrastructure in the United States to deliver services, we must transfer all your personal information to the United States and other jurisdictions deemed necessary to provide our Services. In short, for us to provide you with the Service, you must be aware that your personal information may be moved around the world.

Notice to Minors

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children younger than thirteen. Should you be younger than thirteen, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use the Services and Website. We ask those users who are younger than thirteen years of age not to provide any information that may personally identify you. Should we discover that such a user has provided us with personally-identifiable information, we will delete said information from our records. Parents and/or guardians are responsible for all account activity on their accounts by a minor.

We protect the privacy of children under the age of thirteen and we are dedicated to protect the privacy of minors. While neither our Website, nor Services are targeted at minors, it is not intended for the use of minors. In the event that a minor has shared personal information via our Website and/or Services, the minor in question may request that such information be removed by contacting [email protected]. While we do offer the option of deleting information, the removal of content or information provided may not be comprehensive or complete.

Do Not Track Settings

In addition to options to control cookies and op-out of targeted advertising (as discussed above), some web browsers also offer the option to activate a “do not track” feature. This feature requests that websites do not send tracking cookies by declining certain cookies in your browser. However, it does not disable accepting cookies entirely, and the browser still has the ability to accept cookies for tracking. At this time we do not respond to browser “do not track” requests, and if we do in future, we will describe how we implement it in this Privacy Policy. To get more information regarding “do not track” features, please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.org/ .

Retention

SCA will keep your information for as long as your account is active and is necessary for the purpose explained in this policy, or as needed in order to provide you with the Services. You may close your account if you don’t wish for SCA to use your information to provide you with the Services. We will also keep your information for as long as we need to in order to comply with our legal obligations (such as tax laws), enforce agreements, settle disputes, or as described elsewhere in the Policy. In addition, we keep log files for internal analysis. These files are usually only kept for a short time period, except where they are used for either safety and security concerns, to help improve functionality of the site, or we are required by law to keep them for longer.

Notice to Residents of California

According to California Privacy Rights (as provided by California Civil Code Section 1798.83), a resident of California who has given their personal information to a business with which the resident has entered into a business relationship for personal, household, or family purposes (a “California Customer”) is entitled to ask for information about whether business in question has given personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing (certain exceptions apply). Exceptions include a business that has disclosed personal information. When a business receives a request by a California Customer, they have to provide a full list of all third parties it has provided their personal information in the previous calendar year, as well as categories of personal information that was disclosed. Another of these exceptions allows California Customers the opportunity to opt out of these disclosures, instead of providing such list, cost free. Any customer can ask to opt out of these disclosure by contacting us via the ways listed earlier in this document. A request can also be made by California Customers for more information about the Company’s compliance with this particular law by corresponding with us via the contact information below.
