We collect the domain names and IP addresses of our visitors for statistical purposes, to measure use, to improve the content or responsiveness of our site or to customize the content or layout of the site for the individual visitor. We do not disclose this information to third parties. We may also aggregate information relating to our visitors’ traffic patterns from the data that we collect and retain concerning the IP addresses and domain names of our visitors, and we may divulge such aggregate information about our users with third parties such as our business partners, distributors, and service and support providers. You may visit our website anonymously if you wish, by using appropriate software or web services available from or through third parties.

We maintain a log file of all actions that are initiated or facilitated using our website, to capture, record and store data concerning the transaction. Access to this data is restricted to those who administer our network and public website, except that we may use and disclose this information to third parties in response to legal process or law enforcement inquiries, abuse of our website, or violation of our Terms of Use.

EMAIL ADDRESSES
You should know that email is not necessarily secure against all forms of interception. If your communication includes sensitive information about your company and you would prefer not to transmit this information in this fashion, please contact us by mail or telephone rather than email.

We collect email addresses that are: volunteered by the visitor; through email messages addressed to our company or its employees; through visitor responses via the “contact us” portion of the site; or email marketing destination web pages and public events. We use email addresses for marketing purposes and to inform those interested in our products about events, products, services or other items of interest. We may also use email addresses volunteered by our visitors to register the visitor for an extranet account, to process orders for brochures and other written materials, or otherwise to respond to a visitor’s request. You may opt-out of receiving promotional or marketing emails at any time by notifying us as a reply to any unwanted email, contacting us at info@bishopwater.ca, or by writing to Bishop Water at 16 Edward St S Suite 203, Arnprior, ON K7S 3W4.

We will send your friend an email message inviting him or her to visit or try our services. By providing email addresses or any other contact information of third parties to us, you represent and warrant that you have the right to do so, and you acknowledge and agree and that such information may be used for this purpose. We store this information to send the email invitation, and to track the success of our referral program.
