The Faris Team Corp. provides a variety of products and services to the public, including but not limited to: real estate brokerage services, real estate agency services, advise with respect to real estate purchases and sales, and other real estate advisory services. In the course of providing these products and services, we may collect, with their consent, certain personal information about you. This privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) applies to your use of the www.faristeam.ca website (the “Website”), which is owned and operated by THE FARIS TEAM CORP and your use of the products and services of THE FARIS TEAM CORP.. Your privacy and security are important to us. We are committed to collecting, using and disclosing personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws, rules and regulations. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we will use and protect the personal information you provide us. We will not share your personal information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. We do reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time, so please check back periodically.
Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with an efficient and helpful experience while using our products and services. In order to do so, we collect two types of information about you, Personal Information and Non Personal Information. “Personal Information” refers to information that lets us know the specifics as to who you are and which can be used to identify, contact or locate you. Examples of Personal Information include your first name together with your last name, your mailing address and/or email address, and your phone number. Personal Information may include such information that is required to effectively market and sell the property of sellers or lessors including photographic images and descriptions of the property; to locate, assess and qualify properties for buyers; and to otherwise provide professional and competent real estate services to you and to ensure that you are satisfied with the products and services we have provided. Personal information does not include business information (business address and phone number), which is not protected by privacy legislation. Generally, we collect Personal Information when you use the Website to fill out surveys, correspond with us, submit testimonials, stories, photos or the like to the Website, or otherwise volunteer information about yourself in order to obtain our products and services. “Non Personal Information” refers to information that does not by itself identify you or a specific individual. Examples of Non Personal Information we may collect include demographic information, which web pages of ours are most often visited and which of our products are either receiving the most purchases or website visits. We may collect Non Personal Information through any of the methods discussed above as well as automatically through use of industry standard technologies discussed further below.
Upon written request, we will use reasonable efforts to allow users to update or correct Personal Information previously submitted but only to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or security interests. Also, upon your written request, we will functionally delete you and your Personal Information from the database where such information is stored; however, it may be impossible to delete your Personal Information without some residual information being retained because of the nature in which backups of data are maintained.
You will have the opportunity to provide us with Personal Information and Non Personal Information which we will collect directly from you. If you provide photographs, stories, testimonials or other feedback about our products or services or our Website, or provide us any other information via correspondence or otherwise (“Content”) directly via an email hyperlink on the Website, we collect your first and last name, email address and any content included in the email.

The information from use of these technical methods may be collected in a form that is personally identifiable.
Our primary use of your Personal Information and Non Personal Information is to communicate with you in order to provide you with our products and services, to send you informational and promotional materials, including about upcoming promotions and events, and to make internal business decisions.
