2. DEFINITION of personal information

Personal information is a factual or subjective piece of information about a person that allows them to be identified (for example, their first name, last name, phone number, or email address). However, personal information does not include business contact information, if such contact information is used to communicate with an individual regarding their employment, occupation, or profession.

3. Consent

Subject to some exceptions, Roadloft must obtain the User's consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information. Consent can be explicit or implicit. It must also be valid, meaning the User must understand the nature, purpose, and implications of the collection, use, or disclosure of the personal information to which they consent. It can be provided by the User in writing or electronically. Explicit consent is generally given when the User completes and signs an application or membership form and sends it to Roadloft, such as the newsletter subscription form. Implicit consent occurs when Roadloft can reasonably infer that the User has consented, following an action or inaction on their part, or due to circumstances.

4. Collection of information

Roadloft limits the collection of personal information to the information necessary for the stated purposes. Any collection of the User's personal information carried out as part of the payment for products and services through the online payment platform used by Roadloft will be subject to the confidentiality and personal information protection terms applicable to the use of that payment platform.

It is not secure to transmit your payment information, including your credit card number, via email, SMS, or social media. To protect this data, please transmit it only through the online payment platform used by Roadloft.

Despite all efforts made by Roadloft to implement the necessary measures for the protection of the User's collected personal information, RoadLoft cannot guarantee to the User that their personal information is safe from any malicious hacking act. Consequently, any information, personal or otherwise, shared, published, or transmitted on the Site by the User is at their own risk.

5. Use of information

Essentially, the personal information collected allows Roadloft to identify the User, communicate with them, and personalize their service. RoadLoft reserves the right to use the personal information obtained to conduct market research with the aim of adequately meeting the needs of its customers and thus improving its Site and its product and service offerings.

If you have consented to add your email address to Roadloft's mailing list, you may, at any time, choose to no longer receive marketing communications or the newsletter sent by email by unsubscribing via the hyperlink included in these communications or in the Site's Terms of Use.

Roadloft does not sell its Users' personal information to third parties and does not use or disclose such personal information for purposes other than those for which it is collected.

Applicable laws and regulations provide for certain exceptions to this Policy and the use of your personal information. These exceptions could affect privacy practices. For example, Roadloft may collect, use, or disclose its Users' personal information, particularly in the following situations:

  • a) if the collection of information is clearly to your benefit and your consent cannot be obtained in a timely manner;
  • b) if, by law, the information is considered to be in the public domain;
  • c) if the information is disclosed to government agencies under anti-money laundering and terrorist financing laws; or
  • d) in the context of tax declarations to competent authorities or other disclosures required by law.
