Your privacy is important and we want you to understand our practices with respect to gathering information from visitors to the Site and with respect to the uses we make of that information. Please check each portion or page of the Site that you visit. Certain portions or pages of the Site may contain changes to the Privacy Statement applicable to your use of that portion or page, for example, certain applications may request additional information from you.
When someone visits the Site, our web servers automatically gather information that allows the site to communicate with the visitor's computer during the visit. We also track such information as the number of visits to the site, which parts of the site visitors select, IP address (the Internet address assigned to your computer from your Internet Service Provider), domain type, browser type (e.g., Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer), date and time of day. We use such information only for statistical purposes that help us design and administer the Site. This information does not disclose Personal Information that would permit us to identify or locate individual visitors.
Privacy concerns focus on Personal Information, that is,
information that could identify a specific individual such as
names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers. If
during your visit you personalize the Site, complete an order form,
enter a contest, or submit other information to us, you may provide
us with Personal Information. We may collect and use that Personal
Information to provide you with products or services, to bill you
for products and services you request, to tell you about Just
Energy products and services which we think may be of interest
to you, or to communicate with you for other purposes. For
employees and contractors, personal Information may also be used to
manage and provide recourses/tools.
As explained below in the section on Dissemination of Information
to Third Parties, we do not distribute or sell Personal Information
to third parties for the purpose of allowing them to market their
products and services to you; moreover, as explained in the Opt
Out/Modify Information section, we will make a reasonable effort to
remove your Personal Information from our database in such a way
that you will not receive future communications from us, if that is
your wish. If you notify us that Personal Information
previously submitted to our site is no longer accurate, we will
make a reasonable effort to make appropriate corrections. To
facilitate our efforts to meet your request, it would be
helpful if you could let us know the context in which you provided
Personal Information, e.g in connection with enrollment of a
particular product.
We may store some information (commonly known as a "cookie") on your computer when you look at or use the Site. This information facilitates customizing your use of the Site and helps to avoid the need for you to re-enter your details every time you visit it. You can erase or block this information from your computer if you want to. (The 'help' screen in your browser or computer user manual should tell you how to do this.)
We may use third-party advertising technology to provide ads when you visit sites upon which we advertise. This technology will not process any information that can be used to personally identify you, that is it will not include your name, address, or other personal information. When you access an ad, a "cookie" file will be stored on your computer. This information is used to help manage our on-line advertising. To learn more about the third-party ad-serving technology, cookies, and how to "opt-out" please click here.
The Site contains information that may be of special interest to children, but Just Energy does not seek through the Site to gather Personal Information from or about persons under the age of 17.
This site may have links to sites that Just Energy does not own, control or maintain. We cannot be responsible for their privacy policies and practices and we make no representations or warranties about the privacy practices of those sites. Similarly, we cannot be responsible for the policies and practices of any site from which you linked to our Web site. We recommend that you check the privacy policy of other sites and contact the operator if you have concerns or questions.
Communicating via the Internet and sending information,
products, and services to you by other means necessarily involves
your Personal Information passing through or being handled by
third-parties, but Just Energy does not sell or distribute your
Personal Information to third parties for purposes of allowing them
to market their products and services to you.
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on
our behalf. Examples include contract verification calls,
deliveries, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive
information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing
marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing
customer service. They have access to Personal Information needed
to perform their functions, but may not use it for other
purposes.
Personal data collected by Just Energy may be transferred among its various divisions and affiliated companies, throughout Canada, USA, and the United Kingdom. Such transfers may involve the transfer of Personal Information from countries within the European Economic Area to countries outside the E.E.A. By submitting data on the Site, the visitor provides explicit consent to these transfers, including transborder transmission of data covered by this Privacy Statement.
We may transfer the Personal Information we collect about you to countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Statement. If you provide us with your Personal Information in an electronic format, such as an e-mail, such act shall be deemed to constitute your acceptance of us transfer of your Personal Information in such fashion unless such information is sensitive information such as your SIN or SSN.
You can request the removal or modification of your Personal Information by sending an e-mail to the appropriate area under " Contact Us". We will then make a reasonable effort to accommodate your request. As previously noted, it would be helpful to let us know the context in which you provided Personal Information.
