- IP address
- Browser type
- Device type
- Operating system
- Pages visited
- Date and time of access
- Referring website
- General website usage information
This information may be used to operate, secure, troubleshoot and improve the website.
2. How We Use Personal Information
SaskROCKS may use personal information to:
- Process conference registrations
- Administer Executive Dinner registrations
- Review Junior Mining Company applications
- Communicate application approvals or decisions
- Process payments and maintain transaction records
- Send registration confirmations and event information
- Provide schedule, venue and conference updates
- Respond to general inquiries
- Respond to sponsorship inquiries
- Evaluate speaker submissions
- Coordinate exhibitors, speakers, sponsors and participating companies
- Prepare attendee, speaker or participating-company materials where appropriate
- Provide customer service and administrative support
- Prevent fraud, misuse or security incidents
- Maintain and improve our website and registration systems
- Meet accounting, tax, legal and regulatory requirements
Canadian privacy guidance provides that organizations should identify the purposes for collecting information, limit collection to what is needed, and generally use and retain information only for those identified purposes unless further consent or legal authority applies.
3. Event Communications and Marketing
If you register for SaskROCKS, apply as a participating company, sponsor the event, submit a speaker inquiry, or otherwise interact with us, we may contact you with communications reasonably necessary to administer that relationship.
These may include:
- Registration confirmations
- Payment confirmations
- Application updates
- Conference schedules
- Venue information
- Changes to the event
- Speaker announcements relevant to registered attendees
- Important operational or administrative notices
Where required, promotional or marketing emails will only be sent with appropriate consent or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Marketing communications will include a way to unsubscribe. Canadian anti-spam guidance states that commercial electronic messages generally require consent, identification of the sender and an unsubscribe mechanism, and unsubscribe requests must generally be acted on within 10 business days.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not prevent us from sending necessary transactional or administrative messages relating to an existing registration, application or other active relationship with SaskROCKS.
4. Payments
Online payments for SaskROCKS may be processed using third-party payment and e-commerce service providers, including Stripe and WooCommerce.
When you make a payment, information necessary to process the transaction may be provided directly to the applicable payment provider. Those providers may independently collect and process transaction, device and other information in accordance with their own privacy practices. Square, for example, describes collecting transaction and technical information when consumers use its payment services.
SaskROCKS may receive information relating to a completed transaction, such as your name, contact information, items purchased, transaction status and payment confirmation.
Payment providers are responsible for the personal information they collect and process under their own privacy policies and service terms.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The SaskROCKS website may use cookies and similar technologies that help the website:
- Function correctly
- Maintain registration or shopping-cart sessions
- Remember user preferences
- Improve security
- Measure website performance and usage
- Diagnose technical problems
Some third-party services used by the website may also place cookies or collect technical information. Payment services such as Square may use cookies and similar technology in connection with their services.
You can generally control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website or registration functionality.
If SaskROCKS later introduces advertising, advanced analytics or other non-essential tracking technologies, this policy should be updated to identify those practices.
6. When We Share Information
SaskROCKS does not sell personal information.
We may share information with service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the conference and website, including providers involved in:
- Website hosting
- Website development and maintenance
- Registration systems
- WooCommerce services
- Payment processing
- Email delivery
- Event administration
- Accounting
- Information technology and security
We may also disclose personal information:
- With your consent
- Where necessary to complete a transaction or provide a requested service
- Where required or permitted by law
- To protect the rights, safety or security of SaskROCKS, attendees, website users or others
- In connection with suspected fraud, misuse or unlawful activity
Information intended for publication, such as approved speaker biographies, sponsor information or participating-company profiles, may also be made publicly available with appropriate authorization.
7. Service Providers and Information Outside Canada
Some technology and service providers used by SaskROCKS may process or store information outside Saskatchewan or outside Canada.
When information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement agencies or government authorities where permitted by law.
SaskROCKS uses reasonable measures when selecting and working with service providers that handle personal information.
8. How Long We Keep Information
SaskROCKS retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including conference administration, accounting, legal, regulatory and legitimate business requirements.
Different information may be retained for different periods.
For example:
- Registration and transaction records may be retained as required for accounting or legal purposes.
- Junior Mining Company applications may be retained for conference planning and future administrative reference.
- Unsuccessful or withdrawn applications may be deleted or anonymized when they are no longer reasonably required.
- General inquiries may be retained for a reasonable period to maintain a record of communications.
Canadian privacy principles call for personal information to be retained only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
9. Security
SaskROCKS takes reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, misuse, alteration or destruction.
These measures may include:
- Secure website connections
- Access controls
- Password protection
- Restricted administrative access
- Website and server security measures
- Use of established third-party payment processors
- Software updates and security monitoring
No method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
10. Accessing or Correcting Your Personal Information
You may contact SaskROCKS to request access to personal information we hold about you or to ask that inaccurate or incomplete information be corrected.
We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.
In certain circumstances, applicable law may permit or require SaskROCKS to decline access to some information.
Canadian privacy principles provide individuals with rights to request information about the existence, use and disclosure of their personal information and to challenge its accuracy and completeness.
11. Withdrawing Consent
Where SaskROCKS relies on your consent to collect, use or disclose personal information, you may withdraw that consent, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.
Withdrawing consent may affect our ability to provide certain services.
For example, SaskROCKS requires certain contact and registration information to administer conference attendance. If you ask us to delete that information before the event, we may no longer be able to maintain your registration.
12. Links to Other Websites
The SaskROCKS website may contain links to third-party websites, including participating mining companies, sponsors, speakers, venues or other organizations.
SaskROCKS is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external website you visit.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
SaskROCKS may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, conference operations, technology, service providers or legal requirements.
