This privacy policy is intended to inform you about the personal information we collect, how we use it, the choices you have regarding our use of your personal information, and how you can access it.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
By "Personal Information" we mean all information, including sensitive data, that pertains to an identified or identifiable individual, received or derived, and recorded in any form. Personal information remains personal even if otherwise publicly available. Personal information does not include information that has been modified or anonymized so that it can no longer be used to directly or indirectly identify a person (anonymous personal information).
You can browse our branches or our website without having to provide us with your personal information. However, with your consent or unless required or authorized by law, we may collect, use, store, and transfer the following types of personal information about you:
- Aggregated data;
- Contact details (name, email address, phone number);
- Financial information;
- Identity information;
- Business and communication information;
- Security sequences;
- Technical information.
Your personal information is collected through forms, namely:
- General information request
- Product information request
- Alerts subscription request
- Appointment scheduling request
- Newsletter subscription request
- If we collect, use, store, or transfer your personal information, we will do so only for one of the following purposes:
Contacting you to respond to your inquiries;
When you submit a comment or question to customer service by email or through the chat service, or when you visit a customer service counter at one of our stores, we may collect personal information such as your name, postal or email address, and telephone number in order to respond to your comment or question. We also collect various types of information you provide to us to enable us to respond to your question.
Supporting our marketing and advertising efforts;
To receive our newsletter, you will need to sign up. When you sign up, we ask you to provide your first name, last name, and email address so that we can provide you with the service you request and administer it.
When you sign up for a contest, participate in a promotion, or respond to one of our surveys, we may collect your name, address, phone number, and email address.

We use this information as needed to administer and improve our website and its content, to ensure it operates efficiently and securely, to develop our business, and to inform our business strategy. We may also generate aggregate statistical data from this information (e.g., total number of website visitors), which is not personal information about you.
We, or other advertisers, may also use this information to deliver advertisements to you. When these advertisements are targeted, this may involve using information about the website and information that we (or our advertisers working on our behalf) have obtained from other entities. This will not include information such as your name or contact details. When our advertisements are delivered to you using your information, it is used as needed, based on our legitimate business interests in you.

When you submit a job application or related request, you may provide us with certain personal information about yourself (such as that contained in a resume, cover letter, or similar documents).
