Collecting Your Personal Data

We collect data from you through our interactions with you and through our Services. You provide some of this data directly, and we get some of it by collecting data about your interactions, use, and experiences with our Platform.

You provide data when you view and purchase services from us, communicate with us for customer support reasons, use our products or services, and create a user account on our Platform.

When you fill out a form provided by us or submit data to our Platform, we collect certain information that you voluntarily provide, such as your name and email address. This information will be retained by us for the purpose of communicating with you as we deem necessary. Any data voluntarily provided may be stored and processed by third-party providers.

Consent

When you provide your personal information to us to create an account, complete a transaction, or communicate with us through our contact form, your consent to our collection and use of the information is implied for that purpose.

By using our Platform, you represent and warrant that you are over the age of majority in your province, state, or country of residence, and additionally, that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age, being the age of majority in Manitoba.

Your Rights

If you have an account on our Platform, you can request that we delete any personal data we hold about you by submitting a request on our online contact form, located at https://tsdtelecom.com/en/contact-us. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

You have choices when it comes to the data you share. When we ask you to provide personal data, you can decline. If you choose not to provide data required to provide you with a Service, we cannot provide that Service to you. If we need to collect personal data according to law, or to provide a product or service to you, and you choose not to share that data, we will not be able to provide the product or service to you.

If you have an account on our Platform, you can request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Data we Collect and Retain

As with most websites, we automatically collect, retain, securely store, and process information when you visit our Platform. This information includes but is not limited to: Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, Internet Service Provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date, and time, and click stream data. We use this information, which does not identify you, to analyze trends, administer the Platform, track users’ movements on the Platform, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may link this automatically collected data to personally identifiable information, IP addresses, for example, in remote fraud investigation situations.

We may also collect your name, email address, telephone number, details of any financial transaction you participate in on the Services, browser and device information, and information collected through technologies such as cookies. Data retained by us is subject to the requirements of this Privacy Policy.

We will retain your information as long as there is a business need to do so. For example, we may retain your information during the time that we provide services to you, and for a reasonable time after such services have been completed, or in the event that this information is required for legal, tax, or accounting purposes. Some information may be retained as a means of preventing fraud, or for business functionality and if permitted by law.

Payment Information and Security

We are committed to providing a safe and secure payment environment. This commitment begins with the security of credit and debit cards. We use PayPal, Stripe, MasterCard Secure Code, and Verified by Visa to protect your data.

At TSD TELECOM we take compliance seriously. That is why we use the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which ensures that each time we process, store, or transmit your payment information it is done in a safe and secure environment. We also use SHA-2 and 2048-bit encryption and ensure that our practices are monitored and reviewed by our peers and an external IT firm.

We also take reasonable precautions to keep the personal information you disclose in both your browsing and your shopping. When you enter sensitive information (such as your credit card number) on our online order forms, we encrypt the transmission of this information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We follow generally accepted standards to protect personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and after we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you have any questions about the security of our Platform, you can contact us using our online contact form, located at https://tsdtelecom.com/en/contact-us.

How we Use Personal Data

These analytics may be shared with third-party providers for the purposes of, among other things, improving our understanding the use of our Platform, facilitating purchases, recording your registration information, and improving our services.

We may retain usage and access logs as well as analytics data indefinitely. These logs may be used to ensure the security and performance of our Services.
