Our practices, privacy policy and interactions with you conform to Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act

If you are under 18, you may use this website only with involvement of a parent or guardian. 

Different registration forms on this site's registration form requires you to give us contact information (i.e. name and email address). In every case we collect the minimum information for the purpose.

For financial transactions we collect the minimum information recommended by our transaction partner. For example, PayPal requires us to collect phone numbers. Their experience shows collecting phone numbers dramatically reduces on-line credit card fraud. We support measures to help eliminate the scourge of credit-card fraud. Financial information such as credit card number and expiration date is not collected on this site. We use PayPal for all financial transactions. 

Cookies, IP addresses and tracking?

We actively monitor all traffic on this website including where you came from, what site referred you, what operating system your computer uses, what resolution your monitor is, etc. We perform this tracking for two reasons, security and marketing.

If bad things happen we want to be able to do everything possible to identify who did it for both criminal and commercial liability.

More importantly, we use this website to market Hornford Associates and we need to see how people use this site so we can improve it and to manage the effectiveness of online advertising.

Cookies are pieces of information that a web-site transfers to your computer for record-keeping purposes. Hornford Associates uses cookies in different areas of this web-site. You will need to enable cookies to use the online store.

We automatically logs IP addresses for every page served. We use the IP addresses to see how people use this site. We only associate IP addresses with other personal information when an order is placed or when you post content. This association is a safety and security tool. We routinely permanently block IP addresses and IP address ranges that use poorly configured search tools, consume excess resources or attempt suspicious activity.

We will not disclose your personally identifiable information to any person or company except where you have given us explicit or implicit permission to do so (For example, if we are shipping something, we have to tell the shipper your name and address), or if the law requires it, or where in good faith Hornford Associates believes such action is necessary to comply with a legal process. Our service providers may not use the information shared with them for any purpose other than the provision of the requested service 

We communicate with you through several standard practices: 

• We send one follow-up email after every online purchase and free download
• Our newsletter has a dual opt-in, you must request the sign-up for it and then confirm your sign-up. We know this is extra work for you, but we want to be sure you want to receive a copy
• Every scheduled communication (i.e. Newsletter) has a link to cancel the service. 

We use all reasonable endeavours to ensure the security of personal data you have entrusted to us. All your personal information is password protected - only registered users have access to their own information. As a registered user, you will be able to edit or delete your personal information details at any time using your own ID and password. We will retain personal information you request deleted only if it provides part of a record we are legally obligated to keep or if it is part of an internal investigation into inappropriate activity of this website or other online services we provide.

Please note that we may revise the above policy as the content on this sites continues to change. We will never change the fundamentals - We don't want to know much about you, we will only gather information necessary and won't provide it to anyone else unless you explicitly or implicitly ask.
