We comply with PIPEDA, which regulates the collection, use, and disclosure of the Personal Information. PIPEDA requires that we notify you why we collect your Personal Information, how we use it, and under what circumstances we will disclose such information. Additionally, under PIPEDA, you have the right to access your Personal Information that we hold as well as to receive an accounting of how that information is used or disclosed. We take all necessary and appropriate security measures to secure the Personal Information.
When you use the content or services that we provide on our Website (the “Services”), we may collect Personal Information and other information from you, as described below.
We collect Personal Information from you when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you create an account or contact us with inquiries.

We may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Services, the number of visitors to each page of our Website, the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers, and how our users use and interact with the Services. At times, Built With Science® also conducts research on its customer demographics, interests, and behavior based on the Personal Information and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis. Built With Science® may share this non-identifiable and aggregate data with its affiliates, agents, and business partners, but this type of non-identifiable and aggregate information does not identify you personally. Built With Science® may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our Services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third-parties for other lawful purposes.
