Cookies are used for a variety of reasons. We use Cookies to obtain
information about the preferences of our Visitors and the services they

We audit our security systems and processes on a regular basis. Sensitive
information, such as credit card numbers or social security numbers,
is protected by encryption protocols, in place to protect information
sent over the Internet. While we take commercially reasonable measures
to maintain a secure site, electronic communications and databases are

or warrant that such events will not take place and we will not be liable
to Visitors or Authorized Customers for any such occurrences.

We provide Visitors and Authorized Customers with a mechanism to delete/deactivate
Personally Identifiable Information from the Site's database by contacting
info@redfridays.ca. However,
because of backups and records of deletions, it may be impossible to
delete a Visitor's entry without retaining some residual information.
An individual who requests to have Personally Identifiable Information
deactivated will have this information functionally deleted, and we
will not sell, transfer, or use Personally Identifiable Information
relating to that individual in any way moving forward.
What happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?
We will let our Visitors and Authorized Customers know about changes
to our privacy policy by posting such changes on the Site. However,
if we are changing our privacy policy in a manner that might cause disclosure
of Personally Identifiable Information that a Visitor or Authorized
Customer has previously requested not be disclosed, we will contact
such Visitor or Authorized Customer to allow such Visitor or Authorized
Customer to prevent such disclosure.
