Privacy Policy

The purpose of this Privacy Statement is to inform you about the types of personal information Mirage Spa Education Inc. (as follows, “Mirage Spa”, “we” or “us”) collects, uses and shares when you visit or interact with miragespa.ca (the “Site”). It explains how we use and disclose that information, the choices you have regarding such use and disclosure and how you may correct that information.

We are proud to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy by complying with the laws and regulations under applicable privacy laws in Canada, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.

We will treat personal information in a manner consistent with our Privacy Policy unless we have your consent to treat it differently.

1. Collection of Personal Information

a. To which companies does this Privacy Policy apply?

This Privacy Policy applies to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by Mirage Spa Education Inc.

b. What is personal information?

Personal information is any factual or subjective information about an identifiable individual (“Personal Information”). Your personal information may include but is not limited to your name, mailing address, phone numbers, gender, email address, identification numbers, etc. Personal Information, however, does not include any information that is solely used to communicate with you in relation to your employment, business or profession, such as your name, position name or title, work address, work telephone number, or work electronic address.

c. What Personal Information do we collect?

When you visit our site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your IP address, web browser, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.
Additionally, we collect information about how you interact with the Site, including, the individual webpages or products that you view, any terms you might search, and how many times you’ve visited our site, referring and existing pages, date and time stamps, transmitted data volume, operating system and other technical data such as details of your visits to
our website. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.” When we refer to Personal Information, we are also talking about Device Information, unless we address Device Information specifically.
We also collect Personal Information that you may provide to us, including; your basic personal details such as your name and job title; contact data such as your telephone number, postal code, or email address; and demographic data such as your address, preferences, interests, and other personal information relating to you that you may provide. We do not collect information that is identifiable to children. When we do, it is on a limited basis and with the expectation of adult supervision or permission. In such cases, we strictly limit the use of that personal information to the purposes for which it was collected. We recommend that parents and guardians take steps to limit and monitor their children’s Internet activities directly, or through software and other tools.

d. When and how do we obtain consent?

Before Mirage Spa collects, uses, or discloses your Personal Information, we first obtain your express or implied consent. The form of consent will largely depend on the sensitivity of the information and the reasonable expectation of privacy that you may have in the specific circumstance. For example, we may obtain your express consent in writing, through electronic means, or verbally. Consent is obtained when you submit your email address to download a free course or provide your information when entering into a contest or contact us form. Alternatively, your consent may be implied through an action that you’ve taken or by continuing to use a service after being notified of our policy. Since we obtain consent the first time we receive your Personal Information, by continuing to make use of our services, you imply that your consent in on-going in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

e. How do we use technology to collect information through the Site?

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • (i) We Use “cookies” or a similar technology to assist us to customize the Site. A “cookie” is a data file that is placed on your device and often includes an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies do not damage computer systems or files, and only the website that transferred a particular cookie to you can read, modify, or delete such cookie. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session
    cookies”, which are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies will remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit us.
  • (ii) We use “Log Files” to track actions that occur on the site and collect data including your IP Address, Internet Service Provider, referring and exiting pages, date and time stamps, and browser type.
  • (iii) We use “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” which are electronic files used to unobtrusively record information about how you browse the Site. These are used in conjunction with our service providers for the purposes of analyzing what content you view on our site.

Additionally, when you register for courses, we may collect certain information from you including your name, driver’s licence information, SIN, billing address, shipping address, and payment information (including credit card number). We refer to this as “Registration Information.”
If you don’t want to use cookies with our Site, there is a simple procedure within your browser that will allow you to delete the existing cookies, automatically decline future cookies, or be given the option to accept or decline particular cookies in the future. Please note that declining cookies on our Site will significantly reduce or impair your user experience.

f. What Cookies we use?

We use the following cookies:

  • i. Strictly necessary cookies: Without these cookies, it would be impossible to use the service as they are required in order to perform basic tasks on the website.
  • ii. Preferences cookies: These cookies store the user’s preferences while navigating the Site. We use preferences cookies in order to store user choices like which diploma programs he/she wants to consider.
  • iii. Analytics cookies: Analytics cookies help us extract information related to the way our users use our websites, with the aim of improving our services.

 

2. Use of Personal Information

a. How do we use your Personal Information?

When we refer to Personal Information, we are talking about both Device Information and Registration Information.

We may also use your Personal Information as otherwise permitted by law. Registration Information that is exclusive of Device Information shall only be disclosed to governmental authorities with jurisdiction, including the British Columbia Ministry of Education and the Canadian Revenue Agency.

b. When and how do we obtain consent?

We obtain your consent prior to collecting, using or disclosing your personal information for any purpose. The form of consent is either express or implied and will largely depend on the sensitivity of the information and the reasonable expectation to privacy that you may have in the particular circumstance.
For example, consent is obtained when you submit your course registration form or provide your information when entering a contest or contact us form.
Specifically, collection of Registration Information such as Driver’s Licence information, Social Insurance Number, credit card or payment information is expressly consented to when submitting an application for a diploma course. However, rest assured that this information of a highly sensitive nature will never be shared with anyone other than the responsible government agencies that require disclosure.

Our service providers may, from time to time, also hold your Personal Information in connection with purposes for which you provided your consent. Our service providers may store your information temporarily in the United States or Canada. We may keep a record of your Personal Information, correspondence or comments in a file specific to you.

d. How long will we use, disclose, or retain your Personal Information?

Your Personal Information will be used, disclosed, or retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and permitted or required by law. Generally, we do not disclose your personal information, and where we do, we will identify to whom and for what purposes the disclosure will be made and will obtain your consent to such disclosure. In any case, we only disclose your personal information as permitted or required by law.
We make reasonable security arrangements to protect your Personal Information against risks such as unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure or disposal. We integrate these security measures into the design, application, and operation of the website.
