How is the information used?
Demographic information is collected for the
purpose of preparing statistical reports to assess who our users
are. This information may be shared with Geekstreet staff and
business partners on a summary basis. With statistics, and when we have a better
understanding of who our visitors are, we will be able to better
tailor our website to those who more frequently use it.
We may occasionally use your e-mail address to
send you information about promotions, etc. being
offered through Geekstreet.

Is the information shared?
Although email addresses are published in our directory for use by potential customers, we will never sell or share a list of email addresses from our database.

form published on our website will be e-mailed directly to the
department within our organisation which you selected.
Geekstreet banner advertisers or web sites
which have links on our site may collect personally identifiable
information about you. This privacy statement does not cover the
information practices of those outside web sites to which we link.

What are cookies for?
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent
to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's
hard drive. All areas of Geekstreet where you are prompted to
log-in (i.e. accounts, shopping cart areas) require that you accept
cookies. These cookies are used only to keep track of your account
information as you move through our system. This ensures that your
requests and order history are attached to the correct account.

Can I opt out?
Every page that collects personal information
about you is optional. If you do not wish to share your personal
information with us, you may decline the use of our services that
request such information.
You may choose not to accept the cookies required
by certain portions of the geekstreet.ca site. By modifying
your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all
cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, to only accept cookies originating from
the current site you are on, or you may choose to reject all
cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies, you will be unable to
use the portions of the geekstreet.ca site that rely on cookies
to function properly (mainly account functions).

What is done to protect my information?
If you have an account, it is password protected
so that only you have access to enter and update your information.
You may edit your account contact information by using your log-in
ID and password under "Account Login". We recommend that you not
share your password with anyone. Geekstreet may ask for your
password to make certain account changes on your behalf. This is
strictly to confirm that you are the correct holder of the
account.
Geekstreet recognizes the need to allow our
users to keep their personal information private. Any information
requests from users of geekstreet.ca, will be sent to members
of our staff by an automated process on our system. An email
address MUST be provided to enable this function.
If you forget your password, you may send an
e-mail to webmaster@geekstreet.ca to get a new password
assigned. For your protection, your "new password request" must
originate from the same e-mail address that is recorded in your
registration information.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet can be 100% guaranteed secure. As a result, while we
strive to protect your personal information, Geekstreet
cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us. We do, however, make our best effort to ensure its security
on our systems.
