Who we share your information with
We do not share personal information collected about you except under the following circumstances:
• Sharing to service providers: Some of the features of the ProShop Services, including cloud storage, website hosting, analytics tracking, marketing, and mass email sending may be outsourced to third-party service providers, such as HubSpot and Google. We may share personal information with these parties to enable them to provide their services. However, we enter into agreements to keep your information for only the purposes for which we hired them.
• Sharing internally: ProShop Canada Inc Inc. and ProShop USA Inc. are both owned and controlled by the same entity. They also consist of employees, boards, and agents. If necessary, personal information about you may be shared within both companies. Like other companies, we are bound by corporate rules, including a duty of confidentiality. All individuals sign confidentiality agreements to keep proprietary information about us secure.

How we market your information
We engage in certain marketing activities which involve the information we hold about you. We do not engage in practices considered under applicable laws as “sharing personal information for a monetary consideration,” however, we may share certain information about your behaviors on the website to network advertisers to personalize our ads to you. Our marketing practices include:
• Email marketing: This refers to any messages that contain information about our ProShop Services, promotions, and new offers, which we send to your email address. You may opt in to receive marketing emails by submitting your email address on the newsletter form on the website or when you reach out to us to learn more about our ProShop ERP Software. You have the right to opt out of email marketing messages by using the unsubscribe instructions in any email we send to your email address.
• Interest-based (also behavioral, targeted, or personalized) advertising: We work with certain ad agencies and network advertisers who help us market and advertise our ProShop Services on their platforms and across other websites and apps. The parties may use their tools to learn about how you interact with our website (in summary, the analytics and usage information we collect) and combine it with the information they have collected about you on other platforms you have visited. They then use this information to target you with personalized ads.
You can learn more about and opt out of personalized ads at any time by clicking here (or clicking here if you are located in the EU). Please, note that if you opt out of personalized ads, it will not stop generic ads.
Also, our ad agencies and network advertisers may belong to self-regulatory groups for online ads, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and Network Advertising Initiative (NAI). You may access their websites to learn more and opt out.
How we safeguard your information
We maintain technical and organizational measures to prevent your information from being accessed by unauthorized parties or getting lost. We have a dedicated cybersecurity team that helps us handle the safe transmission and storage of the personal information we collect about you. All our software comes with 2FA security features for extra protection. And we do not disclose your information to third parties except as described under this Privacy Policy.
However, while we strive to protect your information from unauthorized access and use, we cannot guarantee this due to the risk associated with the internet.
How long we retain your information
Unless you ask us to delete your information, we will retain personal information, such as your name and business information, for the duration of the purpose for which we collect it. Upon our business relationship terminating, we will delete all information about you except for any information we are required to keep by applicable law. Please note that we may retain certain information for additional periods if we need it in backup for business continuity, or if we need it for evidential purposes, such as to defend against any claims.
Our international transfer of information
We (ProShop Canada Inc Inc. and ProShop USA Inc.) are located in Canada and the United States, and we process your information from these two locations. However, since we work with third-party service providers who may be located outside of these two locations, your information may also be transferred and used in a different location from your location and where we operate from. This means that your information may be processed in accordance with privacy laws that may be “inadequate” or substandard compared to your location laws. However, we care about your privacy – we only engage third-party service providers who comply with “adequate” privacy practices. And where relevant, we make transfers to such locations in accordance with approved data transfer mechanisms, including using Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.
Our policy about children
The ProShop Services is regarded as a Business-2-Business (B2B) service. As such, we only target and collect personal information from adults who are representatives of these businesses. If you are representing a business and submitting personal information to us, you warrant that you are at least 18 years of age.
Third party services
Our website may contain adverts and contents that link to third-party services that are not governed by this Privacy Policy. If you access any third-party services through our website, the information such services collect on their websites or apps is not governed by this Privacy Policy. We advise that you review any third-party service privacy policy on their platforms before you submit personal information to them.
Your rights
Regardless of where you are submitting personal information to us from, and in addition to other applicable rights you have under this Privacy Policy, users generally have the right to request that we rectify any inaccurate information we hold about them, as well as the right to request the deletion of their information (subject to certain exceptions). Users can reach out to us via our email address at
[email protected] to make any of these requests.
Furthermore, users can withdraw their consent for specific processing of their information at any time (for example, you can opt out of email marketing, cookie tracking, and our general use of your information).
