5004557 Ontario Inc. ("Kwickadee", "we," and "us") respects the privacy of its user ("you") and has developed the Privacy Policy to demonstrate its commitment to protecting your privacy.

Thank you for visiting Kwickadee. We at Kwickadee are committed to protecting the information you share with us, and explaining how we collect, process, and share that information. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect, how that information may be used, with whom it may be shared, and your choices about such uses and disclosures. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully when using our application or services or transacting business with us. By using our website or application (our "Service"), you are accepting the practises described in this Privacy Policy and providing your consent to the processing of personal information as described below.

We are the publishers of Kwickadee, a mobile app for connecting people around the world. If you have any questions about our privacy practises, please refer to the end of this Privacy Policy for information on how to contact us.

1. Information we collect about you

IN GENERAL. WE MAY COLLECT INFORMATION THAT CAN IDENTIFY YOU SUCH AS YOUR NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS ("PERSONAL INFORMATION") AND OTHER INFORMATION THAT DOES NOT IDENTIFY YOU. WE MAY COLLECT THIS INFORMATION THROUGH A WEBSITE OR A MOBILE APPLICATION.

Information you provide. In order to register as a user with Kwickadee, you may be asked to sign in using your Facebook login or your phone number. If you choose to sign in with Facebook, you authorise us to access certain Facebook account information, such as your public Facebook profile (consistent with your privacy settings in Facebook), your email address, interests, likes, gender, birthday, education history, relationship interests, current city, photos, personal description, friend list, and information about and photos of your Facebook friends who might be common Facebook friends with other Kwickadee users. You will also be asked to allow Kwickadee to collect your location information from your device when you download or use the Service. In addition, we may collect and store any personal information you provide while using our Service or in some other manner. This may include identifying information, such as your name, address, email address and telephone number, and, if you transact business with us, financial information. You may also provide us photos, a personal description and information about your gender and preferences for recommendations, such as search distance, age range, religion, community, education, height, occupation, and gender. If you contact us with a customer service or other inquiry, you provide us with the content of that communication.

Some of the information you choose to provide us may be considered “special” or “sensitive” in certain jurisdictions, for example your sexual orientation or religious beliefs. By choosing to provide this information, you consent to our processing of that information.

USE OF TECHNOLOGIES TO COLLECT INFORMATION. WE USE VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES TO COLLECT INFORMATION FROM YOUR DEVICE AND ABOUT YOUR ACTIVITIES ON OUR SERVICE.

 Technical information collected automatically. We automatically collect information from your browser or device when you visit our Service. This information could include your IP address, device ID and type, your browser type and language, the operating system used by your device, access times, your mobile device's geographic location while our application is actively running, and the referring website address.

Cookies and Use of Cookie Data. When you visit our Service, we may ask you to allow us to assign your device one or more cookies to facilitate access to our Service and to personalise your experience. Through the use of a cookie, we also may automatically collect information about your activity on our Service, such as the pages you visit, the time and date of your visits and the links you click. Cookies may be used to keep you logged in or provide a continuous interactive website experience on the website or app and will not be used to store personally identifiable information. If we advertise, we (or third parties) may use certain data collected on our Service to show you Kwickadee advertisements on other sites or applications. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. Your web browser's help function should tell you how to do this. Alternatively, you can find information about how to do this for all the commonly used internet browsers at http://www.aboutcookies.org/default.aspx. This website will also explain how you can delete cookies which are already stored on your device. If you turn off cookies, though, we will not be able to track your order to enable you to purchase from our site. Nor will we be able to recognize you as a registered user, which allows you to access your account information.

Pixel tags. We may embed pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear GIFs) on web pages, ads, and emails. These tiny, invisible graphics are used to access cookies and track user activities (such as how many times a page is viewed). We use pixel tags to measure the popularity of our features and services. Ad companies also use pixel tags to measure the number of ads displayed and their performance (such as how many people clicked on an ad).

Mobile Device IDs: If you're using our app, we use mobile device IDs (the unique identifier assigned to a device by the manufacturer), or Advertising IDs (for iOS 6 and later), instead of cookies, to recognize you. We do this to store your preferences and track your use of our app. Unlike cookies, device IDs cannot be deleted, but Advertising IDs can be reset in "Settings" on your iPhone. Ad companies also use device IDs or Advertising IDs to track your use of the app, track the number of ads displayed, measure ad performance and display ads that are more relevant to you. Analytics companies use device IDs to track information about app usage.

Information collected by third-parties for advertising purposes. We may allow service providers, advertising companies and ad networks, and other third parties to display advertisements on our Service. These companies may use tracking technologies, such as cookies or web beacons, to collect information about users who view or interact with their advertisements. We do not provide any non- anonymized personal information to third parties. Some of these third-party advertising companies may be advertising networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies (www.networkadvertising.org). Opting out will not decrease the number of advertisements you see.

Information you provide about yourself while using our Service

WE PROVIDE AREAS ON OUR SERVICE WHERE YOU CAN POST INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF AND OTHERS AND COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS. SUCH POSTINGS ARE GOVERNED BY OUR TERMS OF USE. ALSO, WHENEVER YOU VOLUNTARILY DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION ON PUBLICLY-VIEWABLE PAGES, THAT INFORMATION WILL BE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AND CAN BE COLLECTED AND USED BY OTHERS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU POST YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, YOU MAY RECEIVE UNSOLICITED MESSAGES. WE CANNOT CONTROL WHO READS YOUR POSTING OR WHAT OTHER USERS MAY DO WITH THE INFORMATION YOU VOLUNTARILY POST, SO WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO EXERCISE DISCRETION AND CAUTION WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

(4) OTHER SITUATIONS. WE MAY DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION, INCLUDING PERSONAL INFORMATION:

In response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law.

When we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of our company, our users, our employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; or to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies. In connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

(C) THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PLACES ON OUR SERVICE WHERE YOU MAY CLICK ON A LINK TO ACCESS OTHER WEBSITES THAT DO NO OPERATE UNDER THIS PRIVACY POLICY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU CLICK ON AN ADVERTISEMENT ON OUR SERVICE, YOU MAY BE TAKEN TO A WEBSITE THAT WE DO NOT CONTROL. THESE THIRD- PARTY WEBSITES MAY INDEPENDENTLY SOLICIT AND COLLECT INFORMATION, INCLUDING PERSONAL INFORMATION, FROM YOU AND, IN SOME INSTANCES, PROVIDE US WITH INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ACTIVITIES ON THOSE WEBSITES. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSULT THE PRIVACY STATEMENTS OF ALL THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES YOU VISIT BY CLICKING ON THE "PRIVACY" LINK TYPICALLY LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WEBPAGE YOU ARE VISITING.

4. Cross-Border Data Transfers

 Sharing of information sometimes involves cross-border data transfers, for instance to the European Union and other jurisdictions. We use standard contract clauses approved by the European Commission or other suitable safeguard to permit data transfers to other countries. Standard contractual clauses are commitments between companies transferring personal data, binding them to protect the privacy and security of your data.

5. AGGREGATED AND/OR NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION.

WE MAY USE AND SHARE NON-PERSONAL, DE- IDENTIFIED, PSEUDONYMOUS, OR AGGREGATED INFORMATION WE COLLECT UNDER ANY OF THE ABOVE CIRCUMSTANCES. WE MAY ALSO SHARE IT WITH OTHER THIRD PARTIES TO DEVELOP AND DELIVER TARGETED ADVERTISING ON OUR SERVICE AND ON WEBSITES OR APPLICATIONS OF THIRD PARTIES, AND TO ANALYSE AND REPORT ON ADVERTISING YOU SEE. WE MAY COMBINE NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT WITH ADDITIONAL NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM OTHER SOURCES. WE ALSO MAY SHARE AGGREGATED, NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION, OR PERSONAL INFORMATION IN HASHED, NON-HUMAN READABLE FORM, WITH THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING ADVISORS, ADVERTISERS AND INVESTORS, FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONDUCTING GENERAL BUSINESS ANALYSIS OR OTHER BUSINESS PURPOSES. FOR EXAMPLE, WE MAY ENGAGE A DATA PROVIDER WHO MAY COLLECT WEB LOG DATA FROM YOU (INCLUDING IP ADDRESS AND INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BROWSER OR OPERATING SYSTEM), OR PLACE OR RECOGNIZE A UNIQUE COOKIE ON YOUR BROWSER TO ENABLE YOU TO RECEIVE CUSTOMISED ADS OR CONTENT. THE COOKIES MAY REFLECT DE- IDENTIFIED DEMOGRAPHIC OR OTHER DATA LINKED TO DATA YOU VOLUNTARILY HAVE SUBMITTED TO US (SUCH AS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS), THAT WE MAY SHARE WITH A DATA PROVIDER SOLELY IN HASHED, NON-HUMAN READABLE FORM.

6. Do Not Track Disclosure

DO NOT TRACK ("DNT") IS A PRIVACY PREFERENCE THAT USERS CAN SET IN THEIR WEB BROWSERS. DNT IS A WAY FOR USERS TO INFORM WEBSITES AND SERVICES THAT THEY DO NOT WANT CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR WEBPAGE VISITS COLLECTED OVER TIME AND ACROSS WEBSITES OR ONLINE SERVICES. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING YOU WITH MEANINGFUL CHOICES ABOUT THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND THAT IS WHY WE PROVIDE THE OPT-OUT LINKS ABOVE. HOWEVER, WE DO NOT RECOGNIZE OR RESPOND TO ANY DNT SIGNALS, AS THE INTERNET INDUSTRY WORKS TOWARD DEFINING EXACTLY WHAT DNT MEANS, WHAT IT MEANS TO COMPLY WITH DNT, AND A COMMON APPROACH TO RESPONDING TO DNT.

For your protection, we may only implement requests with respect to the personal information associated with the email address that you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request. We may decline to process requests that jeopardise the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or would cause us to take any action that is not permissible under applicable laws. Additionally, as permitted by applicable laws, we may need to retain certain personal information for a longer period for recordkeeping purposes, such as retaining records relating to your purchases for warranty or accounting purposes.

8. Your choices about collection and use of your information
