The Canadian Salt Company Limited ("Canadian Salt") respects your privacy. In order for you to feel comfortable that your privacy will be maintained throughout your visit to our web site, and as you do business with our Company on-line, we have organized our Web site so that you will not be required to identify yourself or reveal any personal information. At times, we may ask you to provide information about yourself or your company in order to better serve you. If you choose to provide this personally identifiable information, we will use it only to support your customer relationship with us. We provide this Privacy Statement to answer some of the questions you may have about the types of information we may collect from our web sites and what we may do with that information.

What Information Do We Collect?
We understand that you expect to learn about our products when you visit our web sites. Similarly, we hope to learn about your needs as our customer through your visits to our web sites in order to better develop products and services that meet your needs. Thus, we may ask you about the nature of your business, particular projects you are working on, what you plan to use our products for, and various other demographic information. We try to tailor these questions to your particular needs. On some of our web pages, you may be able to ask questions and register to receive information. On these pages, we may ask you for the personal information necessary for us to respond, such as your name and contact information.

What Do We Do With This Information
We will use the information that you provide to better understand your needs and to provide you with better products and services. At the most basic level, we will use this information to communicate with you, to update you on our products and to personalize our web site for you. We may also share with our business partners aggregate data about the number and frequency of visitors to our web sites and the manner in which customers use our web sites. We will not authorize the transfer of your personally identifiable information to our business partners, and we will not combine this aggregated data with your personally identifiable information to tell us who you are, or even what your screen name is. Periodically, we may survey you about your use of products, or for other market research, or to provide you with marketing information that we think will be useful to you. Of course, you need not participate in these surveys or accept this marketing information.

Except as set forth in this Privacy Statement, we will not, without your permission, give, sell or provide to others for a fee the information which you provide to us. We will always ask for and obtain your permission before sharing your personal information with anyone.

Will Your Information be Secure?
Canadian Salt recognizes that visitors to its web sites naturally will be concerned about the security of their information, and we are committed to providing that security. We will take reasonable measures which we believe are necessary to protect your information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction, and, where possible, will try to ensure that any third parties to whom we may transfer your information take comparable steps to protect its security.
