This Site does not collect payment card information.
2. How we use your information
- To respond to your enquiries, prepare quotes, and dispatch and complete towing, roadside assistance and transport services.
- To communicate with you about your request or service, including follow-up and invoicing.
- To keep business, tax, insurance and safety records and to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including Ontario towing and vehicle storage requirements.
- To review job applications and contact applicants.
- To operate, secure and improve the Site, and to protect our forms against spam and misuse.
- To measure and improve our advertising, including understanding which ads lead to calls or quote requests.
We only collect information that is reasonably necessary for these purposes.
3. Consent
By submitting a form, calling us or using our services, you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for the purposes described in this policy. Where information is sensitive, or where the law requires it, we will ask for your express consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions, by contacting us (see section 14). Withdrawing consent may mean we cannot provide a requested service.
4. How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only as needed with:
- Service providers who help us run our business, such as website hosting, email delivery, IT support, analytics and advertising providers. They may use the information only to provide services to us.
- The destination you choose, such as a repair shop, dealership or storage facility, so your vehicle can be received.
- Insurers, police or other authorities where this is required for a specific job, required or permitted by law, or needed to protect someone’s safety.
- A successor business if Olympic Towing is sold or reorganized, subject to this policy.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We use:
- Essential cookies and storage that make the Site work, for example remembering that you closed our cookie notice.
- Analytics cookies, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.
- Advertising cookies, such as Google Ads, to measure the results of our ads and, where enabled, to show you relevant ads (see section 6).
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, parts of the Site may not work properly.
6. Google Ads, analytics and interest-based advertising
We advertise using Google Ads and may use Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Site or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- If you call us using a phone number shown in a Google ad, Google may collect call details such as the date, time, duration and caller area code to report on ad performance.
- You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Your choices:
- Opt out of personalized advertising from Google at Google Ads Settings.
- Opt out of interest-based ads from participating companies in Canada at YourAdChoices.ca (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada).
- Prevent Google Analytics from using your data with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Opting out of interest-based ads doesn’t stop ads from appearing. It means the ads you see are less likely to be based on your interests.
7. Marketing messages
We don’t send commercial electronic messages, such as promotional emails or texts, without your consent, in line with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). Messages about a quote, service or job application you requested are not marketing messages. Any marketing message we send will include a way to unsubscribe.
8. Where your information is stored
Our records are kept in our business systems and with service providers, some of which may store or process information outside Canada, including in the United States. Information stored outside Canada is subject to the laws of that country and may be accessible to its courts, law enforcement and national security authorities.
9. How long we keep information
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including legal, tax, insurance and accounting requirements. Quote and contact enquiries that don’t lead to service are generally deleted within 24 months. Unsuccessful job applications are generally kept for up to 12 months in case a suitable role opens, unless you ask us to delete yours sooner. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
10. How we protect information
We use reasonable physical, organizational and technical safeguards, including encrypted HTTPS connections on this Site, access limited to staff who need it, and private, non-public storage for resumes. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify you and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada of any breach that creates a real risk of significant harm, as required by law.
11. Your rights
You have the right to:
- ask whether we hold personal information about you and request access to it;
- ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
- withdraw your consent, as described in section 3;
- ask questions or complain about how we handle your information.
We will respond to written requests within 30 days, and may ask you to verify your identity. If you’re not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Residents of Quebec may also contact the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec.
