In these instances, we may send a message to your friend or family member on your behalf.  Please ensure that you only submit email addresses of individuals with whom you have a personal or family relationship and who would want to receive the message from you.

By providing your information to Dure Foods Ltd., you consent to Dure Foods Ltd. using your personal information for the purposes outlined above.

  1. Dure Foods Ltd. obtains your consent to collect, use or disclose your personal information, except as otherwise permitted by law.  The method of obtaining consent may depend on the circumstances and the sensitivity of the information.  Consent may be oral or written, express or implied.  Your express consent (verbal, written or electronic agreement) is generally obtained to collect, use or disclose sensitive personal information.
  2. Dure Foods Ltd. is a growing business offering a unique mix of products and services.  We want to give you exceptional customer service and additional value which is facilitated by sharing your information within Dure Foods Ltd. This sharing enables us to better understand our customers, notify current and new customers of products, services, rewards and special offers they might enjoy.
  3. If you decide that you do not want to receive marketing offers for products and services, you may always withdraw or refuse your consent by clicking on the unsubscribe link in our email communications or by contacting us as set out in Section 10 below. Your request will be promptly processed but may not be in time to remove you from promotions already in progress.  Please note that even if you have opted out of receiving marketing communications, we may still contact you for purposes of administering your account and sending you transactional or operational messages.
  4. If you decide to withdraw or refuse your consent, our ability to communicate with you may be diminished.  For example, we will generally not be able to tell you about price discounts, contests, or other products and services that may be of value to you.
  5. Dure Foods Ltd. collects the information required to provide products and services to you and as otherwise outlined in this privacy policy.  If the personal information we require is collected for a reason other than as outlined in this privacy policy, your consent will be obtained before or at the time the information is collected or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Dure Foods Ltd. will collect personal information by clear, fair and lawful means.
  6. Dure Foods Ltd. uses and discloses your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected, except with your consent or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law. We do not sell or rent personal information.

We may transfer your personal information to entities outside Dure Foods Ltd. such as our vendors, suppliers and agents who assist us in serving you. When your personal information is transferred to a Service Provider, we require them to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this privacy policy.  Our Service Providers may be located outside of Canada and may be required to disclose your personal information under the laws of their jurisdiction.  You may contact us for information about our policies and practices regarding Service Providers to whom we have transferred your personal information and their locations (see Contact Information, below). Dure Foods Ltd. retains your personal information as long as it is required for our business relationship or as required by law.

In the event that Dure Foods Ltd., any of its affiliated companies, brands or substantially all of their assets are acquired by an unrelated third party, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets.  By providing your personal information to us, you agree that we may disclose your personal information, on a confidential basis, to any prospective transferee and its professional advisors for the purposes of their due diligence investigations, the completion of any such transaction and the continued operation of the acquired business.

Dure Foods Ltd. and our Service Providers may provide your personal information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable Canadian or other law. We may also disclose personal information where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and to investigate or prevent actual or suspected loss or harm to persons or property.

  1. We want to keep your personal information up-to-date, accurate and relevant for its intended use.  We rely on you to let us know if your address, telephone number or other information you provide us changes, so that we may provide you with the best possible service.
  2. The security of your personal information is important to us.  We have implemented appropriate technical, physical and administrative safeguards and security measures designed to protect your personal information.  All of our Service Providers are required under their contracts with us to maintain your confidentiality and may not use your information for any unauthorized purpose.  When we are required by law to provide information, we take reasonable steps to verify the lawful authority for the collection and we disclose only the information that is legally required.  We review our procedures and security measures regularly to ensure that they are properly administered and remain effective and appropriate for the sensitivity of the information.
  3. We are committed to providing you with understandable and easily available information about our policies and practices related to management of your personal information.
  4. You have the right to access, update and correct inaccuracies in your personal information in our custody or control.  To access your personal information, a request must be submitted in writing to us via email info@econowater.ca.  We will respond to your request for access or information in a reasonable time.  There may be times when we are unable to fulfill your request – for example, if providing access to your personal information would reveal confidential commercial or proprietary information or personal information about someone else (and we are unable to separate your data), or if we are prohibited by law from disclosing the information. We may request certain personal information for the purposes of verifying the identity of the individual seeking access to their personal information records.
  5. Dure Foods Ltd. responds in a reasonable time to your questions, concerns and complaints about the privacy of your personal information and our privacy policies and procedures.  We will investigate and respond to any concern you have regarding the handling of your personal information.  In most cases, an issue can be resolved simply by telling us about it and discussing any issues.
