10655619 Canada Corp (“Crescendo”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to the protection of personal information, including personal information that we process on our customer’s behalf. This privacy policy describes the manner in which we collect, use and disclose personal information when you visit our website located at https://crescendowork.com (the “Website”), access  our services when you install the Crescendo application in your workspace (“Crescendo app”), or otherwise interact with us.  

COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Information we process on behalf of our customers:

  • Provision of Services: Crescendo delivers personalized professional learning content through real-time communication platforms. In the course of providing these services, we may obtain personal information about our customers’ employees such as demographic information, email, information provided in feedback messages, or other personal information an employee chooses to provide to us. We use this information to provide the services on behalf of our customers and to improve our products, services and algorithms. We require our customers to ensure that they have obtained all authority to provide personal information to us in accordance with applicable privacy laws. We do not collect or use an employee’s personal information of our customers for any purpose other than to provide services on behalf of our customers. 

  • Support Services: We may collect certain information (such as name, email address and query) when we provide employee support services by phone, email (support@crescendowork.com) or within the Crescendo app.

  • Use of the Services: We may monitor use of the services by our customers’ employees or other authorized users in order to detect, investigate or prevent any actual or potential violation of our terms and conditions. We may also generate aggregated, non-identifiable data and use such information to monitor the performance, use and stability of the services and to improve the services.

 

 

Information we collect and use through our Website and other interactions:

  • Create an Account: If you are a customer, you will be provided with a user account in order to access and use the services. We will collect your name, business contact information (such as company name, address and email address) and payment information in order to create and administer your user account, and you will be issued with a username and password login credentials. You must keep your username and password secure and not share it with anyone else either within or outside your organization. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication (such as letters, phone calls or email messages).

  •  Payment Information: We use a third-party payment processor to process payments. Your payment card data is provided to our payment process, and Crescendo only stores the last four digits of your credit card number, the credit card type, the expiration number, your postal or zip code and the country.

  • Surveys and Customer Research: From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to participate in one of our surveys or other customer research.

We do not sell, rent or disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as described below or as required or permitted by applicable law.

  • Service Providers: Your personal information may be transferred (or otherwise made available) to third parties that provide services on our behalf.

Our service providers may be located in the U.S., Canada or other foreign jurisdictions.

  • Legal and Compliance: We and our Canadian, US and other foreign service providers may disclose your personal information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to another organization for the purposes of investigating a breach of an agreement or contravention of law or detecting, suppressing or preventing fraud, or as otherwise may be required or permitted by applicable Canadian, U.S. or other law or legal process, which may include lawful access by US or foreign courts, law enforcement or other government authorities. Your personal information may also be disclosed where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and to investigate or prevent actual or suspected loss or harm to persons or property.

INFORMATION ABOUT OUR WEBSITE

  • Visiting our Website:  In general, you can visit our Website without telling us who you are or submitting any personal information. However, we collect the IP (Internet protocol) addresses of all visitors to our Website and other related information such as page requests, browser type, operating system and average time spent on our Website. We use this information to help us understand our Website activity and to monitor and improve our Website.

  • Cookies:  Our Website uses a technology called "cookies". A cookie is a tiny element of data that our Website sends to a user’s browser, which may then be stored on the user’s hard drive so that we can recognize the user’s computer or device when they return. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to not accept certain cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from our Website, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the Website features.

  • Analytics: We may use a third party such as Google Analytics to help us gather and analyze information about the areas visited on the Website (such as the pages most read, time spent, search terms and other engagement data) in order to evaluate and improve the user experience and the Website. For more information or to opt-out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, see “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” and “Google Analytics and Privacy”.

  • Third Party Links:  Our Website may contain links to other websites that Crescendo does not own or operate. We provide links to third party websites as a convenience to the user. These links are not intended as an endorsement of or referral to the linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy policies, notices and terms of use. We do not have any control over such websites, and therefore we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use or disclose, secure and otherwise treat personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

 

INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING

We work with third-parties such as ad networks and other advertising companies that use their own tracking technologies (including cookies and pixel tags) on our Website in order to provide you with tailored advertisements across the Internet. These companies may collect information about your activity on our Website and third-party websites (such as web pages you visit and your interaction with our advertising and other communications) and use this information to make predictions about your preferences, develop personalized content and deliver ads that are more relevant to you on third party websites. This information may also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns.

Opting-out of Interest-Based Advertising: For more information about interest-based advertising and to understand your options, including how you can opt-out of receiving behavioural ads from third-party advertising companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada website at  http://youradchoices.ca/choices.

Please note that even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third party, these tracking technologies may still collect data for other purposes including analytics and you will still see ads from us, but the ads will not be targeted based on behavioural information about you and may therefore be less relevant to you and your interests.

To successfully opt out, you must have cookies enabled in your web browser (see your browser’s instructions for information on cookies and how to enable them). Your opt-out only applies to the web browser you use so you must opt-out of each web browser on each computer you use. Once you opt out, if you delete your browser’s saved cookies, you will need to opt-out again.

 

SAFEGUARDS AND RETENTION

We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures in an effort to safeguard the personal information in our custody and control against theft, loss and unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure. We restrict access to personal information on a need-to-know basis to employees and authorized service providers who require access to fulfil their job requirements.

We have record retention processes designed to retain personal information for no longer than necessary for the purposes set out herein or as otherwise required to meet legal or business requirements.
