This version is effective as of September 1st, 2020

Tuango Inc. (“Tuango”, “we” or “us”) is committed to safeguarding your online privacy. Please read the following policy to understand how Tuango collects, uses, stores and discloses personally identifiable information (also referred to herein as “personal information”). By accessing and/or using Tuango.ca (the “Site”), you are consenting to the practices detailed in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you may not use the Site. In this Privacy Policy, “Tuango” refers to employees, officers, directors, cooperating attorneys, interns, volunteers, and consultants of Tuango, all of whom are bound by law or contract to keep the information they receive while working for Tuango confidential. Tuango does not sell or rent personal information concerning its members, customers or employee under any circumstance, and we do not share information without prior consent, except when permitted or required by law.

  1. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

    EU residents and citizens should not use Tuango’s services since they may not comply with the General Data Protection Regulation.

  2. What personal information does Tuango collect from you and why?

    Tuango may require users of the Site to provide basic contact and demographic information, such as first and last name, email address, mailing address (including postal code), telephone number, date of birth, city of residence and/or other details or preferences in order to engage in certain activities on the Site. This information is required in order for you to fully benefit from such activities. These activities may include accessing certain features of the Site or, more specifically, registering, creating an account, obtaining or purchasing a voucher or coupon, submitting content and/or posting content on discussion forums, entering a contest or sweepstakes sponsored by us or our partners, filling out a survey, posting a review, sending feedback to us or our partners, requesting information about our services, submitting an affiliate agreement, applying for a job, posting a video, or signing up for special offers from third parties through the Site. Collectively, these activities are referred to herein as “Identification Activities”. In addition to these Identification Activities, when you purchase a voucher or coupon, we may also ask you to provide us with your credit card information, including your credit card number, the credit card’s expiration date, its authentication code, and other related information.

    Depending on the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some is identified as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory information for a particular activity that requires it, you will not be permitted to continue in that activity.

  3. How is the personal information Tuango collects used?

    Personal information is used to provide vouchers, coupons, products and/or services to you; to email you newsletters, offers and promotions, and information about our services and about our partners and their products and services; to respond to your inquiries; to personalize your experience with us; to inform you if you are the winner of one of our contests or sweepstakes; to enhance the operation of the Site; to improve our marketing and promotional efforts; to analyze Site use; to improve our product and service offerings; and to tailor your experience with third parties. For example, if you send an email to our customer service department, we may use your comments and feedback to tell others about our services, or we may post your comment in our marketing materials or on our Site. Tuango also allows users to send information about our services and special offers and promotions to their friends. For more information, please refer to section 5 of this this Privacy Policy: “Invite-A-Friend.”

    In addition, if you use our Site to send information and/or a voucher or coupon to another person, we may store your personal information and the personal information of the recipient. We may also use that recipient’s personal information to allow him or her to view the information and/or to receive delivery of the voucher or coupon.

    Tuango will use the email address you provided during the registration process, the account creation process and/or a transaction, to keep you informed through email of new services, special programs, terms of use of a purchased voucher or coupon and/or promotional offers exclusive to Tuango members.

    At all times, you may modify your email preferences and/or unsubscribe to our newsletters by clicking on the link that appears at the bottom of every email or, by going directly into the “Email Preferences” section which can be found under your “Account” on Tuango.ca. You may also do so by dialing our toll-free number 1-855-888-2646.

    Finally, we may use personal information to troubleshoot, to resolve disputes, to accomplish administrative tasks, to contact you, and to enforce our agreements with you, including our Terms of Service (available at http://www.tuango.ca/en/GroupBuyTerms) and this Privacy Policy. Personal information may also be used for investigating cases of abuse or fraud by a member and as otherwise permitted or required by law.

    Generally, Tuango will consider the fact that you have voluntarily visited the Site and have provided us with personal information to signify your consent for Tuango to use your personal information and/or to signify that you have obtained the necessary consent to disclose personal information concerning a third person to Tuango for the above-mentioned purposes.

  4. How and to whom is personal information disclosed?

    Tuango does not sell or rent your personal information to anyone. Tuango will share personal information with third parties, such as service providers and suppliers of products and/or services, (collectively, “Business Affiliates”) only as a requirement for fulfilling a service you have chosen, such as facilitating the delivery of products and/or services identified on a voucher or coupon that you obtained or purchased through the Site. Sharing this information may allow Business Affiliates to market directly to you if they choose to do so and such marketing is permitted by law. However, we will only share personal information with a Business Affiliate if you engage in an Identification Activity, in which case the information will only be shared with the Business Affiliate involved in that Identification Activity. Moreover, we will restrict the Business Affiliate’s use of personal information in accordance with their assigned tasks, which are subject to the limitations of this Privacy Policy. For example, if you purchase a voucher for a particular retail merchant, we may share your name, email address and city with that merchant to proper use and/or redemption of the voucher.

    In special cases, Tuango may disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating Tuango’s Terms of Service (available at http://www.tuango.ca/en/GroupBuyTerms), or who may be causing injury to or interfering with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Tuango’s rights or property, other users of the Site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. If Tuango is involved in a merger or other reorganization, Tuango may also disclose personal information that it collects through the Site to the resulting organization. Tuango may also disclose or access personal information for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services, as well as when we believe in good faith that the law permits it or requires it.

  5. What are cookies and non-personally identifiable information? And how are they used?

    As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, Tuango may collect, use and disclose non-personally identifiable information. Non-personally identifiable information is information that does not identify a specific individual, user or member. This type of information may include things like the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website you visited before coming to our Site, the URL of the website you visit after leaving our Site, the type of browser you are using and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. We, and/or our authorized third-party service providers and advertisers, may automatically collect this information when you visit our Site through the use of electronic tools like cookies, web beacons, and pixel tags. We use non-personally identifiable information to troubleshoot, administer the Site, analyze trends, gather demographic information, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities. We may also share this information with our authorized third-party service providers, advertisers and other third parties to measure the overall effectiveness of our online advertising, content, and programming.

    A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive to track and target user interests in order to customize your experience. Cookies also allow us to collect non-personally identifiable information from you, like where you are, which webpages you visited and what links you clicked on. Use of this information helps us create a more user-friendly experience for all of our visitors.

    Advertisers that place offers on the Site may also use their own cookies. Tuango has no access to or control over these cookies.

    Most Web browsers enable users to limit their exposure to cookies by allowing users to adjust privacy settings. If a user has their cookies disabled, some features of the Site and Tuango Services may not perform as well as they normally would with cookies enabled.

    Tuango may also collect IP addresses for system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to prevent, investigate, and take actions in the case of suspected fraud or abuse.

    Third-party vendors, including Google, show Tuango ads on third-party websites. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to the Site. Google uses analytics data to also inform and optimize Tuango’s ad campaigns based on a user’s prior visits to the Site. Users may opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page. Users may opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising initiative opt out page. Users may opt out of Tuango’s use of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics Opt-Out Page. Tuango may have reporting of users’ aggregate interactions with Tuango ads across the Google Display Network or DoubleClick for Advertisers in conjunction with activity on the Site.

    Other Tracking Devices. We may use other industry standard technologies like pixel tags and web beacons to track your use of our webpages and promotions, or we may allow our third-party service providers to use these devices on our behalf. Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on certain webpages of our Site, or in our emails, that help us determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these webpages, or you open or click an email, pixel tags and web beacons generate a non-personally identifiable notice of that action. Pixel tags allow us to measure and improve our understanding of visitor traffic and behavior on our Site, while also providing us with a means of measuring our performance and the success of our promotions. We may also use pixel tags and web beacons provided by our Business Affiliates and/or marketing partners for the same purposes.

    Tuango may link non-personally identifiable information with personal information. Once such a link is made, all of the linked information is treated as personal information and will be used and disclosed only in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and in accordance with applicable law.

  6. Invite-A-Friend.

    Tuango uses Talkable to operate our “Invite-A-Friend” program. Notwithstanding anything in this Privacy Policy to the contrary, Personal Information may be securely transferred to Talkable or other third parties in the context of this program, but only to the extent needed for the program to operate properly. This transfer of Personal Information is described in the next paragraphs of this section. By using the program, you consent to our use of your personal information in this manner. If you do not consent to the use of your personal information in this manner, please do not use the program. The program will allow you to share with a contact or through a platform an invitation so your friend can join Tuango. This person will receive an email because of your invitation and only in the context of your invitation until they give their approval to receive emails from Tuango outside of the program. No emails are sent to your contacts without your consent, as you must confirm to which email addresses you send an email. Use of your email service is also governed by your email provider’s terms of use and/or privacy policy.

When you share a link through the program via Facebook or Twitter, if you are not otherwise logged in, you may be asked for your login information, and your login information is transferred securely to those services. Your use of these services is covered by their respective terms of use and/or privacy policies.

Tuango and Talkable are in full compliance with both the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. Ch. 103) and the Canadian law informally known as Canada’s anti-spam law (“CASL”, S.C. 2010, c. 23) within the program.

If you or a friend believe you have been sent an email in error or in violation of these laws, we invite you to click the “unsubscribe” link in any email you receive from us and/or to contact us using the coordinates in section 6 of this Privacy Policy so that we may remedy the situation.

  1. Access, rectification and protection of your personal information

    You may access, update and/or correct your personal information directly on your account page or you may do so by simply calling us toll-free from Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm Eastern Time at 1-855-888-2646 or by mailing your written request to the following address, where your personal information file is kept:

    Tuango Inc. 450 Sainte-Hélène Street Montréal, Québec H2Y 2L2

    Subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law, users will be given reasonable access to their personal information, and will be entitled to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and to have it amended as appropriate. You can help Tuango maintain the accuracy of your information by notifying Tuango of any changes to personal information submitted through the Site.

    To help protect the confidentiality of personal information, Tuango employs security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, notably it restricts access to personal information to Tuango employees and agents who require such information for the purposes of fulfilling their functions and mandates. Nevertheless, due to the nature of the Internet and Internet technologies, security and privacy risks cannot be eliminated and Tuango cannot guarantee that personal information submitted through the Site will not be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
