Effective Sep 5, 2023. All responsible parties are required to understand and enforce the requirements of this policy at all times. Any breach or questionable practice must be reported within 24-hours or the responsible party will be held accountable.

1.0 - Privacy Policy

cebrands.ca and associated domains represents the products and information of Motorola Brand Licensees, and is operated by CE Brands International Inc..

This Terms and Conditions of Sale applies to and recognises the collection of personally identifiable information ('Personal Information') that is collected from you when a purchase is completed, such as name, physical address, email address, telephone number and credit card information. A second classification of public data ('Non-Personal Information') is also generated by the Site in customising the user experience. The Privacy Policy is located at www.cebrands.ca/privacy-policy and all aspects of the Site are restricted by that policy. In the event of a disagreement with this Privacy Policy it is that policy that will be in force.

2.0 - Contact Information for CE Brands International Inc.

General inquiries or notifications related to this policy can be sent to privacy@cebrands.ca and a representative will make contact. You should be certain to include a valid phone number and an account information at a minimum to ensure a quicker response.

Urgent communications with  CE Brands require expediency and should be handled differently. Please use the phone as a preference unless it is otherwise not possible to do so. If e-mail must be sent to privacy@cebrands.ca a response should be received within 48 hours or you should phone the support phone number instead. You should be very certain that your communication has been received by a representative and that they have acknowledged the information with a service ticket number.

It is important to note that e-mail will never be sent to you requesting Personal Information be provided via e-mail. The mechanism for collection and updates will always be either the Service (forms on the Web site, prompts, customer service) or phone conversation after identity has been verified.

3.0 - Location of Personal Information

CE Brands International Inc. is a Canadian company and it is bound by the laws of the Government of Canada and the Province of Alberta for all legal matters. All of our data centers are located in Hong Kong, United States. As such different Regional and Federal laws may apply to the organizations that operate the data centers. You must be certain that providing Personal Information does not violate any law that is applicable to you or your right to use the Services.

If your use of the Services or disclosure of certain information to CE Brands would violate any law that is applicable to you, your right to use the Services and/or disclose such information is revoked. CE Brands will comply with any court order so long as it is found to be lawful in Canadian courts. No other request to access Personal Information from any party will be honored without a Canadian court order or permission from the owner of the account that has been properly validated.

Under no circumstance will credit card information be shared with any third party unless they are involved in processing payments for services that you have purchased from CE Brands and are therefore considered a part of the Service.

CE Brands may also use and disclose your Personal Information when your account has been involved in violations of our Terms of Service. These cases may involve law enforcement personnel to detect and prevent unlawful access to your Personal Information or to investigate activities that threaten the integrity of the Service and our network.

CE Brands may use your Personal Information as required by courts or administrative agencies in connection with a sale, merger, or reorganization of the business. Those parties are bound by strict contractual provisions with our Service and only have access to Personal Information needed to perform their job functions, and may not use it for other purposes. They will process the Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

7.0 - Third-party Interactions on the Website

CE Brands's web sites may allow third parties to provide products and services directly to CE Brands customers. Such relationships are often designated with a 'Provided By' or 'Powered By' company logo or other similarly worded designation. When processing or performing the named function that party will collect your information and share Personal Information related to the transaction with CE Brands. You may review the privacy practices of the third party either by clicking the link on the bottom of the page or by clicking on the 'Provided by Company' logo, which will take you to their web site.

Software that is downloaded or installed from the CE Brands website may be provided by a third-party developer / license that requires Personal Information to enroll. If the product is provided by a third-party a link will be provided to the organization's website where the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service can be examined. Activating the link or downloading the software grants CE Brands permission to share the required Personal Information with the third-party website and accepts that CE Brands is not responsible for the conduct, data policies or security of the third-party. All offers, links, promotions and services that advertise a third-party are separate and distinct from CE Brands websites and excluded from our policies that protect consumers.

Partners, promotions and other third-party content is validated against standards and conditions but it is always possible that something slips through checks and balances. If any partner or content is discovered to be fraudulent or employ questionable conduct we will remove their advertisements, product or service from the website. Report all scams or abuses to contact@cebrands.ca.

8.0 - Security of Personal Information

CE Brands International Inc. has invested and deployed a wide variety of technology and security features to make reasonable efforts to ensure the privacy of information on its network. Operations guidelines ensure privacy is safeguarded at every level of our organization.

Each subscriber to the Service is provided with security 'secrets' that grant access to Personal Information stored within the account. You are responsible for the protection of your security information in the form of usernames and passwords, keys, security questions and answers and codes. Accounts that are compromised because a third-party obtained this confidential information are the sole responsibility of the account owner, including purchases, damages and actions taken while impersonating the credentials.

Suspicion of a security breach or compromise of the account secrets should be immediately reported to customer support to minimize damage and risk. The agent will assist with securing the account and investigating the extent of the breach. If the symptom is reported promptly the agent will assist with reversing transactions or payments that are proven fraudulent. Consumer protection law protects any victim of fraud from charges or penalties if the activity is quickly reported and full cooperation is provided to the Vendor to investigate.

A breach that is not reported within 24 hours of detection can increase risk to the platform and other third-parties. This is a violation of the Terms of Service and it will result in immediate suspension of the account and may lead to legal action from CE Brands or from third-party Partners (payment gateways, credit card companies, etc.) if the conduct is found to be irresponsible.

9.0 - Security of Digital Transmissions

Key communications with the data center are encrypted in transit using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with Transport Layer Security (TLS) to restrict third-party eavesdropping to the Service. This mechanism will protect the transmission of Personal Information as it travels to our infrastructure, where it is protected by our security. The browser will display a lock icon to validate the use of SSL on secure parts of the site where forms collect data, payments are processed and Personal Information is handled or updated.

CE Brands uses industry standard browser encryption with a bit-strength of 128-bit or 256-bit to secure communications.

Personal Information which you voluntarily include and transmit through publicly accessible forums (i.e., chat rooms, blogs, instant messaging) may be viewed and used by anyone with access to such forums. CE Brands assumes no responsibility for anything that is shared from the Service to one of these mediums.

10.0 - Account Information

Personal Information about you is available at your request and can be changed at your request. All necessary steps must be taken to validate your identity before the request is fulfilled. Personal Information or security secrets will be requested and compared to the records the Service has on file to the satisfaction of the CE Brands representative. Accounts that have been compromised in the past may require multiple validation tests to satisfy the requirement. This is for your protection and cooperation is expected.

You are responsible for ensuring that the information the Service has on file for you is accurate at all times.

11.0 - Third-Party Websites and Services

Our Service may contain links to other Web sites and services not maintained by CE Brands eCommerce Ltd. In addition, other Web sites and services may also reference or link to CE Brands. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our service, or surf the Internet, and to be aware the privacy statements will differ. We do not endorse, screen, or approve, and are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of, such other Web sites and services. CE Brands does not assume any liability for third parties that have been provided with information as permitted by this Privacy Policy or who have collected information as permitted by this Privacy Policy (such as advertisers using third party cookies).

We are not responsible for the Personal Information collected from any third-party Web site or service. Requests to de-list or delete must be addressed with the responsible party. Partner organizations are actively involved in the delivery of the Service and the posted Privacy Policy for these vendors may follow different guidelines.

12.0 - Marketing Opt-Out

If you do not want your Personal Information used by CE Brands International Inc. for any direct marketing purposes, then you may opt-out of such disclosures by emailing us at contact@cebrands.ca to request removal.
