My Fridge Temp Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 2024

We are IoT Solutions Canada, doing business as My Fridge Temp . (“My Fridge Temp”, “our”, “us” or “we”).

Your privacy is extremely important to us. This privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect, store, share, and use the information you submit and entrust to us when you visit and access our products, services, websites, and mobile applications (the “Applications”) that we make available to you in connection with products and services sold or otherwise provided to you as a part of our Internet of Things solutions (collectively, the “Products” and the “Services,” respectively). We license access to the Services to you under our Terms of Service (our “Terms of Service”) available at the Terms of Service link that you may find on your IoT-enabled devices, including, without limitation, mobile devices (collectively, your “Devices”).

1. When and What information do we Collect?

When you visit or access the Applications or the Services, or purchase, download, activate, or register one or more of the Services with us, you may be prompted to provide (and we may collect) certain types of personally identifiable information (“PII”), such as your name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, and other unique information such as unique device identifiers, geo-location (with respect to Google Maps inclusion, also subject to Google’s Privacy Policy found at http://www.google.com/policies/Mprivacy) and product and service preferences. We also may collect: (i) the e-mail address(es) of customers who communicate with us via e-mail or provide their e-mail address when joining our mailing list; (ii) PII that is voluntarily provided to us by individuals who use the Applications and/or the Services in connection with activities such as contest participations, surveys, and account registrations.

We may also collect information about you from commercially available sources. Such information may include, without limitation, your name, address, e-mail address, and demographic data. We may use the information that we collect from these sources, along with other information that we collect from you.

We may collect non-personally identifiable (anonymous) information from visitors to the Applications and/or the Services, regardless of whether they place an order with us, download software from us, volunteer such information to us, communicate with us, join our mailing list, or otherwise.

We may collect data collected through or from Devices in connection with your use of the Services, such as (without limitation):

• Data collected by IoT sensors during monitoring, such as environmental data (temperature, humidity, etc.), security information (opened/closed doors and windows, smoke, motion, alarms triggered automatically or manually, etc.), and location information; and
• Device information, such as model and serial number, network information (including, without limitation, IP address), device activity logs, operating system, service carrier, location, and historic and current device configuration.

Some of the Services may allow you to choose to invite other users to grant you access to their Devices or permit other users the right to gain access to your Devices. We strongly discourage the sharing of log-in information, passwords, and other PII. In any case, we are not liable for the disclosure or use of any of your PII or other information on your Devices to other users through the use of the Services or for the alteration of and/or damage to a Device resulting from the sharing of such information.

Like many sites, the Applications use “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that reside on your computer and identify you as a unique user. Cookies allow us to, among other things, measure activity on the Applications and personalize your experience. For example, cookies enable us to remember your viewing preferences without requiring you to re-type a user name and password. If you choose, you can set your browser to reject cookies, or you can manually delete individual or all the cookies on your computer by following your browser’s help file directions. However, if you reject or delete cookies, you may have some trouble accessing and using some of the Services. We also use other common information-gathering tools such as web beacons and embedded web links.

We also use log files in order to track information such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), platform type, and date/time stamps. The log files may also contain information we gather that can be used in trend analysis, administration of the Applications, and overall demography tracking; this information is gathered through the counting of clicks and not linked to PII. We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Users may request deletion of their data by contacting us.

2. How is Information Used?

We use information we collect for the following purposes:

provide you with, and improve, the Products and the Services;

• fulfill orders and process payments;
• administer your account and back-up your data;
• troubleshoot issues you encounter with the Products and/or the Services;
• respond to your questions and concerns, and provide customer support;
• contact you, and send you notifications about the Products and/or the Services according to your preferences;
• send you marketing communications, as permitted by applicable law; and
• analyze and better understand how users access and use the Products and/or the Services, both on an aggregated and individualized basis, in order to improve the Applications, the Products, create new features, provide you new offerings, respond to user preferences, and to protect your data.

Aggregate, anonymous data collected is statistical in nature and does not include PII. This data may be used for a variety of purposes, such as to improve our offerings, improve your user experience and the overall quality of the Applications, the Products and/or the Services, or for marketing, advertising, research, or similar purposes.

When you provide us with your credit card information, we may redirect that information to certain third parties only for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with their own privacy and security policies.

3. How is Information Shared?

Any third party with whom we share your information first agrees to receive, use, store, and disclose such information only in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may share your information with:

• our corporate affiliates that provide aspects of the Services or otherwise support our provision of the Services;
• reputable third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform aspects or functions of the Services on our behalf (e.g., help deliver the Services to you, maintain the Applications, store data, or perform data analytics);
• select business partners to facilitate their ability to offer products and services that we believe will be compelling to our customers and to those who have subscribed to our mailing list;
• other third parties: (i) in order to respond to the requests of and/or provide information to police, other emergency responders, and governmental authorities; (ii) in order to comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; (iii) in order to
• help prevent fraud, enforce or protect our rights, protect your information, or enforce the Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy; (iv) in order to protect your personal safety and/or that of our employees, and/or third parties; and (v) for business reasons, such as in the context of the sale or merger of our company or business.

We may share your aggregated, anonymous data for a variety of purposes, such as to improve our offerings, improve your user experience and the overall quality of the Applications, the Products and/or the Services, or for marketing, advertising, research, or similar purposes.

We may also share your PII with third parties in certain circumstances when we receive your prior express consent to do so.

We may participate in behavioral-based advertising and use third-party service providers to serve ads on our behalf via the Services. Such providers may collect information about your visits to and use of the Services. They may use information about your visits and use of the Services to target advertisements for goods and services. This anonymous information is collected through the use of a pixel tag, which is industry-standard technology used by many major websites.

We also work with third parties to monitor certain pages of the Applications for the purpose of reporting traffic and other statistics. These third parties may use cookies and/or other monitoring technologies to compile anonymous statistics about the users of the Applications, the Products, and/or the Services. Some web browsers and devices permit you to broadcast a preference that you not be “tracked” online. At this time, we do not modify your experience based upon whether such a signal is broadcast.

4. Third-Party Links

The Services may contain links to third-party websites and/or applications for your convenience and information. Certain of those websites and/or applications may allow you to enable their products and/or services to be directly integrated into your Device. We do not control those third parties or make any representations or warranties about them. Any personal information that is obtained by third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party websites and applications you visit. Our services may include integrations with third-party services (e.g., analytics, advertising). 

5. How is Information We Collect Made Accessible to You?

The Services may contain links to third-party websites and/or applications for your convenience and information. Certain of those websites and/or applications may allow you to enable their products and/or services to be directly integrated into your Device.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party websites and applications you visit.

6. Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information transmitted to us, both during transmission and after our receipt. However, note that no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security to your data.
