This policy applies to our retail stores, our websites and any other place where Point-S Vanzuylen collects and uses your personal information.
All references to « websites » in this privacy policy refer to www.prestigetire.ca or other sites provided by Point-S Vanzuylen. You may choose not to provide us with your personal information. If so, we may not be able to provide you with the product, service or information you requested.
At Point-S Vanzuylen, we collect two types of information: personal information and non-personal information. The types of information we collect depend on the nature of our interaction with you.

When you choose to provide us with personal information, you agree to the use of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy and as may be mentioned at the time of collection.
You will sometimes be asked to give your explicit consent, for example by marking a box to indicate that you consent to receive marketing communications, or by signing your name to indicate your acceptance of the terms of use and disclosure contained on a website application form.
In other cases, we may obtain your tacit consent when we can reasonably conclude that you have given your consent through an action you have taken or an action you have decided not to take. This usually occurs when the purpose of the use of your personal information is reasonably apparent to you.
You can notify us at any time that you wish to withdraw or change your consent concerning the use and disclosure of your information. We will satisfy your request taking into account the legal and contractual constraints related to your transactions. If you have chosen to be included in our mailing lists or subscribed to one of our newsletters, we will always offer you the opportunity to opt out of the lists or unsubscribe. For example, every newsletter we send you includes a link or other method that allows you to unsubscribe or opt out of other newsletters.
