Privacy Policy

The following privacy policy discloses CMB’s practices and policies regarding the gathering and dissemination of personal information

​

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit our website, use our contact form, or sign up to receive updates from us, there is some personal information that is collected from you. That information includes:

  • your name, phone number, mailing address and email address;

  • the number of shares of HVI that you owned at the close of February 5, 2018;

  • account preferences, such as whether you agree to let CMB provide you with updates by email; and

  • any other information you voluntarily send to us through our website contact form.

 

This information is collected and used for a number of purposes:

  • To provide you with information you have requested, and to keep you informed with respect to the Horizons Class Actions Suit. Your email address will be used to send you those updates IF YOU HAVE REQUESTED US TO DO SO. You can withdraw your consent for such mailings at any time by contacting us as set out below.

  • To manage and administer our web presence. The nature of the Internet is such that it passively and automatically collects certain information about a user’s traffic patterns, which may be linked to their Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. These are unique Internet addresses assigned to all Web users by their Internet Service Providers (ISP). Server logs record statistical information, such as visitor’s IP addresses, type of operating systems, time and duration of visit, web pages requested, and identify visitors by categories such as domains and browser types. These statistics are only used on an aggregate basis and will not contain any information that could identify you personally.

  • To meet legal, regulatory, security and processing requirements (such as in response to a court order), and otherwise as permitted or required by law.

 

If we intend to use personal information for purposes not identified to you or as set out above, these other purposes will be described to you at the time of collection or before using the information. We will not use your information for any other purpose without your consent.

​

Any information you send to us using our website contact form will be delivered to us via regular email. Like traditional email, this message is not sent via secure connection, so please do not send any information that you would not be comfortable sending in a regular email message.

​

Third Parties’ Access to Information

CMB is not in the business of selling personal information to others. We contract with third parties to fulfill certain functions on our behalf, such as providing marketing assistance, analyzing data, preparing and maintaining site content and providing customer service. These agents have access to information only as required in order to help them perform their functions on our behalf, but they are not allowed to use that information for any other purpose and must keep such information confidential.

​

CMB will release personal information to the appropriate law enforcement, governmental or other authorities if legally required to do so.

​

External Links

This website contains links or references to other websites to which this privacy policy does not apply. These sites are not owned or controlled by CMB, and CMB is not responsible for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information or the privacy practices of other organizations or other websites to which our site may refer visitors or provide links for. When submitting personal information on such other websites, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of those sites.

​

Security

We store subscriber information on our website in a secure manner. We store such information in a manner not accessible to Web browsers, behind firewall and password protection, or offline.

Employees, agents and affiliates of CMB who require access to your personal information in order to fulfill their job or contractual requirements will have access to your personal information to the extent necessary to fulfill such requirements.

​

Opt-Out Option

Upon request, CMB will allow any user to opt out of further contacts at any time. Also, upon a user’s request, CMB will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally delete the user and his or her personal information from our database; however, it may be impossible to delete a user’s entry without some residual information because of backups and records of deletions. You can email us at Admin@HorizonsClassAction.ca to request that your information be deleted from our servers.

​

Your Consent

Consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information may be given in various ways. Consent can be express (e.g., orally, electronically or on a form you may sign describing the intended uses and disclosures of personal information) or implied (e.g., when you provide information necessary for a service you have requested, or in some circumstances where notice has been provided to you about our intentions with respect to your personal information and you have not withdrawn your consent for an identified purpose, such as by using an opt out option provided). Consent may be given by your authorized representative (such as a legal guardian or a person having a power of attorney). Generally, by providing us with personal information, we will assume that you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of such information for the purposes identified or described in this privacy policy, if applicable, or as otherwise described at the time of collection. You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use and disclosure of personal information at any time, subject to contractual and legal restrictions and reasonable notice, however, please note that if you withdraw your consent to certain uses of your personal information, we may no longer be able to provide certain of our products or services.

​

CMB does not collect, use or disclose your personal information other than as described in this privacy policy without your consent, unless permitted or required by law. We may be required or permitted under statute or regulation to collect, use or disclose personal information without your consent, for example in response to a court order or subpoena, to comply with local or federal regulations.
