How do we protect visitor information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Our website is scanned on a regular basis for security threats and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our site as safe as possible. We use Malware scanning and have a firewall to block unauthorized access to our network. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted with a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. These security measures will help to protect your personal information when you place an order or submit your information to the site.

Do we use ‘cookies’?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some features will be disabled. It will not affect features that make your site experience more efficient; however, some of our services will not function properly.

Can I access, update or delete my personal information?

Yes. You are able to access, update and request deletion of your Personal Information by contacting us directly at support@joya.ca. Some of your information may have to be kept for audit and/or archival purposes. This information will be deleted when it is no longer required.

Do we disclose the information we collect to third parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personal Information unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. Only employees who need access to your Personal Information to perform a specific job are granted access to your Personal Information. We may also release information when its release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.

We may, from time to time, use service providers to perform services on our behalf. Our service providers may, at times, be responsible for processing or handling Personal Information. In all cases, service providers are given only the Personal Information they need to perform the services which they have been contracted to provide. When service providers are used, Joya requires them to protect Personal Information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Where do we store and retain your Personal Information?

In some instances, your Personal Information may be processed and stored by us or our third party service providers in foreign jurisdictions. In the event our service provider is located outside of Canada, the service provider will be bound by the laws of Canada, the laws of the jurisdiction in which the service provider is located and the requirements of this Privacy Policy. Foreign governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies may be able to obtain disclosure of your information through the laws of their respective jurisdictions.

We only retain users’ Personal Information for as long as it is required for the purposes listed above, subject to all applicable laws. Because of statutory or other legal obligations, we may be required to retain your information for a set period of time, regardless of whether you have withdrawn your consent.
