      Introduction

      Anishinabek Quest is a language immersion game learning application created and owned by AETS. AETS respects the privacy of all of its users and is committed to protecting such privacy in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy explains AETS's treatment of your personally identifiable information collected in connection with your activities on or related to Anishinabek Quest. This Privacy Policy also explains how you can ask questions and make suggestions about our privacy practices and review and update your personal information.

      We urge you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and to check back periodically as this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies or Web Site which are not owned or controlled by AETS.

      Information Collected

      In the course of operating Anishinabek Quest, we may collect two types of information about our users: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.

      “Personal Information” is personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, email address, birth date and gender. Personal Information is collected by us when you choose to provide it to us when registering for Anishinabek Quest. In addition, if you wish to contact any of our customer service representatives, we may keep a record of that correspondence so that we may fully address the subject matter.

      “Non-Personal information” is information of an anonymous nature, such as an Internet Protocol Address (“IP Address”), the domain used to access Anishinabek Quest, and the type and version of browser or operating system being used. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g., average age of geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors and average time spent on Anishinabek Quest, is also considered Non-Personal Information.

      Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating Anishinabek Quest. For example, our Web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information which is provided through your browser or through a Web Beacon when you choose to visit Anishinabek Quest. Non-Personal Information is used by AETS to develop and improve Anishinabek Quest.

      Use of Personal Information

      • as required by law, including an order of any court, institution or body with jurisdiction or authority to compel the production of information, or in order to protect or defend a legal interest; or

       

      • in connection with an AETS corporate reorganization, merger or amalgamation with another entity, or a sale of all or a substantial portion of the assets of AETS provided that the Personal Information disclosed continued to be used for the purposes permitted by this Privacy Policy by the entity acquiring the information.
