Privacy Statement
This Privacy Statement sets out the privacy policies and practices for
Trader Corporation. and its subsidiaries and affiliates
(collectively, “Trader”) with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of
personal information in connection with www.autotrader.ca (the “Site”). This
Privacy Statement may be updated by Trader giving reasonable notice of the
revised terms (including by e-mail or by posting on the Site), and this Privacy
Statement may be supplemented or modified by agreements entered into between
Trader and an individual from time to time.
In this Privacy Statement, “personal information” means any information about
an identifiable individual, as further defined under applicable Canadian laws.
Collection of Personal Information
The Site's registration form requires users to give us contact information
(such as name and email address) and demographic information (such as postal
code, age, or income level) and other information that is used by Trader to
provide services. Trader uses the customer contact information from the
registration form to send the user information that he or she has requested
regarding the Site or regarding services offered by Trader.
This Site uses an ad form for customers to place online and/or print ads. One
of the express purposes of the Site is to gather contact information provided
voluntarily by customers to be published either online or in print, as the case
may be, and in connection with items that are for sale by customers. Trader has
no control over who views online or print ads. Contact information provided may
be used to contact customers when necessary. We collect customers’ financial
information (such as account or credit card numbers) to bill the user for
products and services, but retain this information only as required to process
the transaction and for as long as may be required by law.
Demographic and profile data is also collected at the Site. We use this data to
tailor each visitor's experience at the Site, showing the user content that we
think he or she might be interested in, and displaying the content according to
the user’s preferences.
Trader’s online surveys ask visitors for contact information (such as email
addresses) and demographic information (such as postal code, age, or income
level). Trader uses contact data from our surveys to send users information
about our products and services. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings
(see the Opt-Out section below).
Trader may use customer information for additional purposes that may be
identified at or before the time that the information is collected. Trader also
uses information from customers for accounting and transaction completion
purposes.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Trader may disclose certain personal information as follows:
- to third party service providers and to affiliated entities in order to carry
out work on behalf of Trader,
- to law enforcement agencies for the purposes of investigating fraud or other
offences, or
- to legal, financial, and other professional advisors or in connection with
the sale or reorganization of all or part of its business or operations.
Except as provided above, Trader will not use or disclose personal information
for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the
consent of the individual or as required or permitted by law.
Cookies and IP Addresses
Trader uses your IP address to help identify you and your membership, gather
broad demographic information about our users, diagnose problems with our
server, and administer the Site. The Site uses cookies to keep track of your
membership tools and to make sure you do not see the same ad repeatedly. We use
cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your password
so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site. We also provide
an option to log out should you be using an insecure or publicly shared

cookies. While we use cookies in other parts of the Site, cookies received with
banner ads are collected by our ad companies, and Trader does not have access
to this information.

search capabilities and information resources designed to inform buyers and
sellers about general aspects of property that is being sold. Trader is not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. Please

with security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
However, it is possible that any information transmitted via the Internet may
be intercepted by unknown third parties. We use Verisign to have credit card
data transmitted to our network servers in a secure encrypted mode.
Opt-Out
When appropriate, users of the Site are given the opportunity to (i) opt-out of
receiving communications from us, (ii) remove their information from our
database, or (iii) elect to no longer receive services from us. If you wish to

necessary to rectify the source of the complaint.
