Privacy Policy

This document outlines the Privacy Policy of EXEPART Electronics Inc., herein referred to as "EXEPART". It covers the ways in which we gather, handle, and share your information via our operated websites and mobile apps that you access this Privacy Policy from (referred to as "Websites"), our social media pages ("Social Media Pages"), and through emails we send you that link back to this Privacy Policy. All these channels together are known as "Services".

Please note that this Privacy Policy doesn't extend to our data gathering procedures offline or outside our Services unless otherwise outlined in Section 14 or explicitly stated at the point of collection or below. Use of our Services implies your agreement with our Terms of Use and consent to this Privacy Policy. By consenting to this Privacy Policy, you are consenting to our data collection, usage, and disclosure procedures as well as other activities detailed within this Privacy Policy. If you don't agree with this, please stop using the Services and uninstall any downloaded applications related to our Services. You can find our Privacy Policy here: Privacy Policy.

"Personal and/or Corporate Information " refers to any data, whether accurate or not, that can be utilized to identify you (either alone or in combination). This may include but is not limited to:

• Your full name
• Email ID.
• Geolocation data.
• Telephone number.
• Fax number.
• Banking details and credit references (if applicable).
• EXEPART Account Number; and
• Credit or debit card details.

We maintain the discretion to update and modify this Privacy Policy whenever necessary. Any modifications will become operative as soon as they are posted on our website. By continuing to use our Services under the applicable laws, you acknowledge and consent to any Privacy Policy changes. If the alterations are substantial, we may also send additional notifications to your registered email address.

• Information You Give Us

The Personal and/or Corporate Information we gather through our Services might come directly from you. For instance, we may collect Personal and/or Corporate Information when you register or use our Services, subscribe to our updates, engage with our Services, participate in promotional activities, apply for job positions, or communicate with us via the Services, including using an installed application on a device. You have the option to submit additional information to us voluntarily through our Services, which may include Personal and/or Corporate Information. However, you bear sole responsibility for your Personal and/or Corporate Information in cases where we have neither collected such information nor asked you to provide it. Please note that data that has been de-identified or Personal and/or Corporate Information that has been “de-identified” may no longer be subject to this Privacy Policy. We and our Service Providers (defined below) have the right to treat it as non-Personal and/or Corporate Information and may utilize it without any obligation to you unless such usage is prohibited by relevant laws.

• Automatically Collected Information from Your Use of Our Services

Both we and our Service Providers gather data about the Services you utilize and how you use them. This information, collected automatically via your device, includes IP address; device identifier, Ad ID, browser type; characteristics of your operating system; data regarding your use of our Services; and information pertaining to hardware connected to the network (e.g., computer or mobile device) — this is termed "Usage Information". In cases where Usage Information is deemed Personal and/or Corporate Information under relevant law or is merged with Personal and/or Corporate Information, we will manage such information as Personal and/or Corporate Information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. The strategies we and our Service Providers use to gather Usage Information include:

• Log Information: We accumulate data regarding your use of our Services, such as IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your account, among other data, storing it in log files.
• Information Gathered by Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: We and our Service Providers may employ cookies or other tracking technologies ("Tracking Technologies") to collect and store data about your interactions with our Services, including information regarding your browsing and purchasing behavior. Additional details about how we use cookies are available in our Cookie Policy.

By disclosing the presence of Tracking Technologies and offering choices regarding them as explained herein, we aim to ensure that your consent to their use is informed in a meaningful manner.

• Personal and/or Corporate Information Collected from Other Sources

We may obtain your Personal and/or Corporate Information from various sources including public databases, marketing partners we jointly collaborate with, and social media platforms. This information may be merged with the data we collect from you. If such information from third parties is combined with the Personal and/or Corporate Information, we have directly collected from you, we will consider the consolidated information as Personal and/or Corporate Information. However, please note that we cannot be held accountable for the accuracy of the information provided by these third parties or their operational practices.

We, along with our Service Providers, may utilize your information to fulfill several objectives:

• We aim to offer, preserve, safeguard, and enhance our Services, develop new services, and ensure the protection of EXEPART and its users.
• We strive to facilitate, manage, customize, and augment your online experience.
• We respond to your inquiries and meet your requests such as dispatching newsletters, brochures, catalogs, and emails.
• For our organizational requirements such as data examination, audits, monitoring, and prevention of fraud, refinement, enhancement, or modification of our Services, identifying usage patterns, and functioning and expanding our business operations; and
• We deliver advertisements and communicate with you about products, services, offers, promotions, rewards, and events that we think might be relevant to you (for more information about managing these communications, refer to Section 13).

Marketing Purposes

For users based in Canada, we might utilize your Personal and/or Corporate Information for the purpose of direct marketing. However, if you are a user from a country other than Canada, we will refrain from using your Personal and/or Corporate Information for direct marketing unless we have obtained your explicit consent. As a user from outside Canada, you possess the right to withdraw from direct marketing. You can ask us to discontinue using your data for such marketing purposes at any time, free of charge.

Our representatives, vendors, advisors, marketing support entities, and other service associates (collectively known as "Service Providers") might obtain, or be granted access to, your data, which includes Personal and/or Corporate Information and Usage Information, in relation to the services they provide on our behalf. These Service Providers might be based in nations other than where you reside. These Service Providers are barred from using your Personal and/or Corporate Information for any reason other than to offer their support, although we may allow them to use anonymized data or collective information which does not personally identify you or any other user of the Services (for instance, we may consolidate Personal and/or Corporate Information to compute the percentage of our users who belong to a specific telephone area code). We also reserve the right to share information about you under the following circumstances:

As needed, for the following reasons:

1. (a) to adhere to legal procedures.
2. (b) to answer requests from public and governmental bodies, including those outside your country of residence to fulfill national security or law enforcement needs.
3. (c) to apply our terms and conditions.
4. (d) to safeguard our operations and uphold our rights, privacy, safety, or property, as well as that of you or others; and
5. (e) to allow us to seek possible remedies or limit the damages that we might incur.

Alongside our affiliates for internal organizational purposes. For instance, managing your orders, meeting your demands, providing customer service, and enhancing our products.

Alongside our subsidiaries, affiliates, business associates, and other third parties for their individual organizational needs. For instance, to enhance their products and services; and

In the context of negotiations involving the restructuring, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other distribution of all or a portion of our business, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings), your information may be disclosed to a third-party entity.

When EXEPART employs the services of third-party providers and needs to share Personal and/or Corporate Information with them to facilitate those services, EXEPART ensures these providers manage Personal and/or Corporate Information in a way that aligns with this Privacy Policy. Furthermore, where relevant, EXEPART is accountable for ensuring these third parties process Personal and/or Corporate Information in accordance with the Privacy Shield Principles detailed below (see Section 15) and/or the General Data Protection Regulation or other relevant laws.

Aggregated Information

Without restricting the previously mentioned, at our sole discretion, we may share collective data that does not personally recognize you or anonymized information about you with third parties or affiliated entities for any objective.

Sharing for Marketing Purposes

If you are a user based in Canada, your Personal and/or Corporate Information may be shared with third parties for the purpose of direct marketing. However, if you are a user from outside Canada, your Personal and/or Corporate Information will not be shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes unless we have obtained your explicit approval. Non-Canadian users have the privilege to opt-out from direct marketing and can request us to stop using their data for such marketing purposes at any given time without any charges.

We may present sweepstakes, competitions, and other promotional activities (each referred to as a "Promotion"), which may be co-sponsored or provided by third parties, and which may necessitate the submission of Personal and/or Corporate Information. If you willingly participate in a Promotion, your Personal and/or Corporate Information may be shared with third parties for management purposes and as mandated by law (for instance, in a list of winners). By participating in a Promotion, you consent to the official rules that govern that specific Promotion, and, unless restricted by applicable law, permit the sponsor and/or other entities to utilize your name, voice, and/or image in promotional or marketing materials.

The Services may allow you to publish or submit written material, user profiles, audio or visual recordings, computer graphics, images, data, or other types of content, inclusive of Personal and/or Corporate Information (collectively referred to as “User Content”). If you decide to submit User Content to any public section of our Services, your User Content will be deemed “public” and can be accessed by anyone, including us, and is not governed by this Privacy Policy, allowing it to be used to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. We advise you to exercise discretion when deciding what information to disclose in such public sections.

Our Services may contain links to websites, locations, platforms, or services managed by third parties ("Third Party Service(s)"). These Third-Party Services may independently collect information about you through their own cookies, web beacons, and other Tracking Technology, and they may request Personal and/or Corporate Information from you. Certain functionalities within our Services allow for interactions that you initiate between our Services and specific Third-Party Services, like third-party social networks, termed as “Social Features.” Social Features could include actions such as "liking" or "sharing" our content and linking our Service to a Third-Party Service. If you utilize Social Features, and potentially other Third-Party Services, information that you post or provide access to could be publicly displayed either on our Services or on the Third-Party Service you use. Similarly, if you post information on a Third- Party Service that references our Services (for instance, by using a hashtag associated with EXEPART in a tweet or status update), your post might be utilized in association with our Services. Furthermore, both EXEPART and the third party may gain access to specific information about you and your use of our Services and the Third-Party Service. If we amalgamate information from Third Party Services with Personal and/or Corporate Information that we gather directly from you on the Services, we will regard the combined information as Personal and/or Corporate Information under this Privacy Policy.

Third Party Responsibility

The data collected and held by third parties remains subject to their own privacy practices, including whether they persist in sharing information with us, the kinds of information shared, and your options regarding what is visible to others on Third Party Services. We hold no responsibility for the collection, usage, and disclosure policies and practices (including the data security practices) of any other organization, this includes any Personal and/or Corporate Information you reveal to other organizations through or in association with our social media Pages. We do not endorse or make any representations about the policies or business conduct of any third parties or Third-Party Services, and we strongly advise you to acquaint yourself with and review their privacy policies and terms of use.

We may employ third-party advertising companies to display ads on our behalf on the Services and/or on Third Party Services, as well as to deliver analytics services regarding the use of our Services and the performance of our ads and content on Third Party Services. Additionally, we may participate in online advertising networks and exchanges, which display relevant ads to our Service visitors, both on our Services and on Third Party Services, as well as outside our Services, based on your interests as reflected in your browsing patterns on the Services and certain Third-Party Services. These organizations might employ cookies and other Tracking Technologies to automatically gather information about you and your actions, such as assigning a unique identifier to your device and linking that to your online activities on and off our Services. We might utilize this information to analyze and track data, gauge the popularity of specific content, deliver advertising and content tailored to your interests on the Services and Third-Party Services, and gain a better understanding of your online behavior.

Online Behavioral Advertising

Some details about your browsing activity on the Services and certain Third-Party Services could be gathered over time and across numerous services and then shared with third parties to provide you with ads and/or other content on the Services and certain Third-Party Services. EXEPART may receive information about Third Party Services that you have visited and utilize this data for marketing initiatives—a process sometimes referred to as "(re)-targeting," "interest- based advertising," and "online behavioral advertising."

Do Not Track

Your web browser settings may provide the option to send a "Do Not Track" signal to the online services you visit. It is important to note that there is no universally agreed-upon definition for "Do Not Track" in this context, as different industry participants have varying interpretations. Similar to many other online services, we currently do not modify our practices based on receiving a "Do Not Track" signal from a visitor's browser.

We strive to implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to safeguard your information against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Furthermore, EXEPART will retain your Personal and/or Corporate Information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. However, it is important to note that no data transmission or storage system can be entirely secure, and we cannot provide a guarantee of the absolute security of your information collected through our Services. Your Personal and/or Corporate Information is stored on servers managed with the assistance of a third-party data storage provider.

Tracking Technologies Generally

Typically, regular cookies can be disabled or deleted using tools provided by most mainstream web browsers. In some cases, you can also choose to block cookies in the future by adjusting specific settings. It's important to note that different browsers offer varying functionalities and options, so you may need to configure them individually. Please be aware that disabling or removing cookies may result in certain parts of our Services not functioning properly. Additionally, when you revisit our Services, your ability to control browser-based Tracking Technologies is dependent on your browser settings and any limitations they may have. For our mobile applications, you can prevent the collection of information by uninstalling the app. Furthermore, you may have the option to exercise specific privacy choices, such as enabling or disabling location identification services, by adjusting the permissions on your mobile device.

Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising

Certain companies may take part in the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) AdChoices Program, displaying an Advertising Option Icon for interest-based ads. This icon provides a link to an opt- out tool that enables you to make certain choices regarding targeted advertising. To find out more about the DAA AdChoices Program, you can visit http://www.youradchoices.com/. For mobile applications, you can access the opt-out program at http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices.

Moreover, specific advertising networks and exchanges may participate in the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), which offers a tool allowing consumers to opt-out of targeted advertising delivered by NAI members' ad networks. To learn more about opting out of targeted advertising or to utilize the NAI tool, you can visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.

Please note that even if you opt-out of certain types of targeted advertising, you may still receive non-targeted ads. We are not responsible for the effectiveness or compliance of any third-party opt-out options or programs, nor can we guarantee the accuracy of their statements about their programs. However, we support the ad industry's 2009 Self-regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising (http://www.iab.net/media/file/ven-principles-07-01-09.pdf), and we expect that the ad networks we directly engage with for serving you interest-based ads will adhere to these principles as well, although we cannot guarantee their compliance.

Communications

You have the option to opt-out of receiving promotional communications (such as emails or text messages) from us at any time by following these steps: (i) To unsubscribe from promotional emails, you can click on the provided unsubscribe link in the emails or modify your communication preferences by logging into your account; (ii) To stop receiving text messages, you can follow the instructions given in the text messages and reply with the word "STOP". Please keep in mind that your opt-out request is specific to the email address or phone number used and will not affect any subsequent subscriptions. If you choose to opt-out of only certain communications, you may still receive other subscriptions. Please note that even if you opt-out of receiving promotional communications, we may, as permitted by applicable law, continue to send you non-promotional communications related to your account, transactions, service, or our ongoing business relationship.

Mobile Applications

Our mobile applications have the capability to send you notifications, which may consist of alerts, sounds, and icon badges. These notifications, including both operational and promotional messages about products, services, and offers that may be relevant to you, can be customized in the settings. Like email communications, if you choose to opt-out of receiving promotional notifications, you may still receive non-promotional push notifications, such as those related to your use of the applications or our ongoing business relationship.
