This MaxCondoClub Privacy Policy describes how 9349855 Canada Inc. (operating as
MaxCondoClub) and its subsidiary group companies (together the “MCC Group” or
“MCC” or “we” or “us”) treat Personal Data that you provide or we collect when you use
any of our services (listed below).
Our service consists of (a) our website located at www.maxcondoclub.com and
community. community.maxcondoclub.com, and any subdomains of thereof
(collectively, the “Site”), (b) any web-based service made available to you by or on
behalf of MCC Group via the Site (each, a “Web-based Offering”), (c) our downloadable
or cloud based software applications (each, an “App”) and tools (each, a “Tool”), and
(d) all content published on our Site (other than user content) (the “Content”). The
Site, the Web-based Offerings, the Apps, the Tools, and the Content are referred to
collectively in this Privacy Policy as our “Service” and each a “Service”. Additional
features of portions of the Service are described in our Terms of Use (the “Terms of
Use”), which may be found at a https://www.maxcondoclub.com/terms.html(or any successor URL).
“Personal Data” means any information that can be used to identify, contact, or locate
you, such as: your name, address, email address, or phone number, but does not
include any information that has been fully anonymized so that a specific individual
can no longer be identified from it.
Please take a moment to read the following to learn more about our information
practices, including what type of Personal Data is gathered, how the Personal Data is
used and for what purposes, to whom we disclose Personal Data, and how we
safeguard your Personal Data.
Our privacy practices may vary among the countries in which we operate to reflect
local practices and legal requirements (“Applicable Data Protection Laws”).
According to Applicable Data Protection Laws, you may be entitled to know the identity
of your “Data Controller” i.e. the legal entity which determines why and how your
personal data is processed. In most cases, this will be MCC Group. In the event
another member of the MCC Group is responsible for processing your Personal Data
as a Data Controller we will make you aware of this when you purchase the relevant
product or service from us.
Within the MCC Group, our most important asset is our relationship with our user
community. We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and
security of the Personal Data of our users. We are proud of our privacy practices and
want you to know how we protect your information submitted or collected through
your use of our service.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Account Information. When you sign up for a MCC Account, we ask you for Personal
Data such as your name, email address and company name.
Social Networking Site Information. For your convenience, we may allow you to register
to join MCC Group by using log in credentials from third-party social networking sites
(“SNS”) such as Facebook, Google and LinkedIn. If you register via an SNS, the SNS
may provide us with some of the Personal Data you have provided to the SNS.
Profile Information and User Contributions. You may choose to create a public MCC
Group profile, or a public post, and to share Personal Data or make user contributions
as part of the same. Please be aware that any Personal Data or contribution you
choose to share in this way, will be published, and made generally available to other
users and third parties via the Site. This user generated content is publicly available
and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of the other users or third parties
who may view and use that information. If you do not want your Personal Data or user
contributions to be accessible in this way, please do not post it. If you would like to
contribute to the MCC community via your MCC Group profile, or profile page, but do
not want to be identifiable to other users, you may use an alias or other pseudonym to
protect your identify, provided that the information you provide as part of your Account
Information must always be correct, accurate and up-to-date.
Customer Support. We may collect Personal Data through your communications with
our customer support team. Please ensure that no sensitive personal data is
submitted in connection with your requests for support (for example, health
information, political or religious beliefs, information about minors, etc.).
Clickstream Data. We and our third party service providers may automatically collect
certain information from your device or web browser when you use parts of the Service
(such as the Site and the Tools) to help us understand usage, what is of interest to you
and how to provide you more relevant advertising and content. We refer to this
information as Clickstream Data. This includes, for example, your IP address, mobile
device identifier or other unique identifier, browser and computer type, date and time
of access, the previous Web page that you came from and the page you go to next
after leaving the Service, each of our pages that you visit and how you interact with
advertising and our content within the Service. The Clickstream Data we collect
generally does not identify you as an identifiable person, but if it does, we will treat it
as Personal Data. If your browser has a “private browsing” mode you may be able to
block this information from being sent to MCC Group, but in some cases this may
impact your ability to use the Service.
We refer to this information as App Data. Also, when the app automatically checks to
see if a new version is available, the current version number and the unique application
number are sent to MCC Group. The unique application number is required for the app
to function properly and cannot be disabled. We also collect information you input into
this app and other Apps in connection with your use of those offerings.
In addition, certain Apps contain features that are used to automatically transmit
certain content and information about your environment and that information is
transmitted back to MCC Group and, where possible, then anonymized so that it no
longer reflects or references an individually identifiable user. This includes
information about equipment on which the app was installed, the number and types of
devices in your environment, warranty information related to devices in your
environment and server information. If Personal Data is included on that equipment or
included in other information collected by a different App, such as a Service Request
ticket for example, it may be sent to or otherwise collected by MCC Group. In general,
we use App Data to better understand how the Apps are used, improve the
functionality of the Apps and to better understand our users and their needs. We also
utilize information in end user tickets generated by the Service Request App to assist
you with specific requested support issues and to better understand the kinds of
issues our users are dealing with on a daily basis. Some Apps may incorporate
software from third parties or are hosted by third parties and if you chose to use those
Apps, the use of those Apps and the information gathered by them are subject to the
terms and conditions and privacy policy of that third party.
Payment Information. If you elect to pay for various reservations or items using the
Service, you may need to provide Personal Data to our third-party payment processors,
such as your credit card number.
OUR USE OF COOKIES AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES
MCC Group uses cookies, which are alphanumeric identifiers in the form of text files
that are stored on your computer, to make the Service easier to use, to improve our
advertising, and to protect you and MCC Group. For example, we use them to store
your login ID (but never your password) to make it easier for you to login whenever you
come back to the Site. We also use them to remember the last application page you
visited and advertisements you’ve already seen. You can remove or block cookies
using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to
use the Service.
Many of the advertisements you see when using the Service have been placed by third
parties. These third parties may choose to use their own cookies for the purposes of
collecting information relating to the viewing of their advertising. This Privacy Policy is
intended to cover the use of cookies implemented by MCC Group and does not
describe third party cookies in detail or their privacy policies.
We may use a third-party service provider to serve ads on our behalf across the
Internet and sometimes on our site. They may collect anonymous information about
your visits to our Site and your interaction with our products and services.
A tracking pixel (also referred to as a clear gif, pixel tag or single pixel tag) is a graphic
with dimensions of 1×1 pixels that is loaded when a user visits a website or opens an
email. A pixel is used in conjunction with cookies to help us manage and monitor our
online advertising and wider business arrangements with third parties, to measure and
analyze site usage and activity and to improve the quality of the Service. In certain
circumstances, we share IP addresses that are captured by pixels to help our
advertisers analyze the efficacy of their campaigns. This also allow us to aggregate
anonymous information relating to advertising and website usage. For example, the
type of information collected includes information relating to page views. Pixels may
be used to recognize third party cookies and inform us and/or third parties of which
advertisement or link brought you to the Site, allowing us to monitor the business
relationships with third parties.
We also work with a third party to monitor certain pages of our Site for the purpose of
reporting Site traffic and other advertising statistics. Where authorized by us, this third
party may use cookies and/or other monitoring technologies to compile anonymous
statistics about our Site visitors. No Personal Data is transferred to this third party.
In addition, we use Google Analytics to monitor and analyze Service usage. More
information on how Google uses data when you use services like ours can be found
at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
HOW AND WHY WE USE PERSONAL DATA
We collect information, which may include Personal Data, because it helps us deliver
the absolute best user experience we possibly can. It is one of our core beliefs that we
can only achieve that goal with your help and by customizing your experience.
Gathering this information enables us to connect you with vendors that have high
likeliness of being of an interest to you, provide you with convenient and accurate
information about discussion topics you may be interested in, and bring you timely
and relevant information about the products and services that you may need. In
addition, this information helps us keep you informed on the latest product and service
announcements, software updates, and support information in a timely fashion. Most
importantly, this information allows us to tune the product experience over time
(including showing your more relevant content and ads), optimizing the Service based
on your feedback and how you actually use the Service.
More specifically, we use your Personal Data in the following ways:
Internal and Service-Related Usage. We use data that you input into, or that is collected
by, the Service to perform the services requested in connection with those portions of
the Service. For example, if you input a reservation of a moving elevator into the
Amenities App, we will use that information to display moving related vendors to you
when you use such App. If you use a Tool to obtain information on a system in your
network, we may store that data and provide you or other authorized users at or
associated with your organization access to it via the Service. We use your payment
information (through-third-party payment processors) to collect payment for the
applicable portions of the Service. We may store and combine the Personal Data you
submit or we collect via any part of the Service with information from other MCC Group
services or third parties (including SNS) in order to deliver the Service, to provide you
with a better experience and to improve the quality of our services.
We may use data that you input into, or that is collected by, the Service to derive
anonymized or aggregate data about your current environment, and may use this data
to display customized content and advertising to you, and/or compare your
environment configuration to those of the broader user community or for other
purposes. Such information does not identify you individually.
We use Clickstream Data to analyze trends, to administer the Service, to track users’
movements around the Site, to gather demographic information about our user base
as a whole, and to operate and improve the MCC Group technologies and services. We
may use and retain any data we collect to provide and improve our services.
Displaying your profile information or user contributions to Other Users. You
will be given an option to create a public profile. It is up to you to decide which Personal Data
you choose to include in your public profile. Your public profile will be used when you communicate
with other residents. For example, if you decide to post a classified ad, your public profile will
be displayed to other residents who are viewing the classified ad that you posted. Another example
is if you decide take part in a discussion forum on the Community feature, and you choose to post or
respond to a post. In this case, your public information will be shared with other residents that
are contributing or reading the same discussion. Some of the information provided from your SNS may
be viewable by persons who visit MCC Group, which you can control by editing your MCC Group profile.
We cannot control the actions of other users of the Service with whom you may choose to share your
user contributions or who may view your profile information. While we have restrictions in our Terms
of Use, we cannot and do not guarantee that your user contributions or profile information will not
be viewed or used inappropriately as they are accessible to all other residents and your property
management and condominium staff. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the other
users who will view and use the posted information. However, you always have a choice as to whether
(and to what extent) you share information as part of your public profile.
MCC Group-Related Communication. We use your Personal Data to contact you about
administrative notices, application & network alerts, community activity, product
updates, offers and promotions, and general news about MCC Group and our partners.
This communication may be in the form of an alert or email. The frequency of this type
of communication varies based on the type of notification. For example, alerts are
delivered as they occur, while our product newsletter is generally delivered monthly.
You can manage your email preferences with respect to content and delivery or you
may unsubscribe from all emails from us. You can also email us
at support@maxcondoclub.com regarding your communication preferences.
Advertising. Our current business model is based on free access and usage of the
Service and we earn revenue by charging vendor partners who interact with
condominium residents, property managers, security personnel, and boards of
directors through our Service in a number of ways, including through ads. Like most
other websites you probably use, in order to serve you those ads and to make them
relevant to you, we need to use the data we know about you. We also may share
information we have collected to show our vendor partners how effective their
campaigns performed or how to make their campaigns more effective. While we may
pass IP address information in pixels or cookies, no information that personally
identifies you is shared with our vendor partners as part of this process but they may,
under certain circumstances, see information about what residents are involved in our
user community. They do not know, and we do not tell them, your name, phone
number, address, email address or any information that may personally identify you.
Customer Testimonials. From time-to-time we may ask individual users to participate in
customer testimonials posted on our website. We never post these testimonials
without their express permission. Any information provided as part of these
testimonials is used solely for the purpose of these testimonials and is not used in any
other way. If you wish to update or delete your testimonial, you can contact us
at support@maxcondoclub.com.
Search Engines. Certain Personal Data may also be accessible via search engines or
similar services. For example, if you make a post on one of our community forums,
your profile information and the content of the posts you make may accessible
through a Google search.
We consider that the processing we undertake above (or mentioned elsewhere in this
Privacy Policy) is either:
- necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party (for example, where we provide a requested Service to you);
- necessary for us to take steps, at your request, to enter into such a contract (for example, where you make an enquiry about receiving a Service from us);
- necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party and not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of any data subject (for example, where we desire to provide improved client customer service and support as well as enhancing and developing our products and services, and the IT-systems and processes used to support such products and services, and the marketing and sale thereof); or
- necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject. For
example, under applicable law, we may be obliged to:
- secure and maintain technical and organizational measures to protect the security of your data;
- investigate and report any (suspected) breaches of those technical and organizational measures.
- comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including, but not limited to, complying with minimum retention periods for certain types of data.
Where we do not consider that we can rely on a legal basis for processing that is set out above, then we will ask for your consent before processing your information. For example, we will ask for your consent before publishing your customer testimonial on our Site. Another example is where you sign up for an event organized by MCC Group, we may ask for your consent to share your contact details with the sponsor of the event, who may wish to contact you about products and services which may be of interest to you. You can tell we are asking for consent because we will describe the request and have a link to a privacy policy.
HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
Service Providers. We may use third party service providers to help us deliver parts of
the Service and to improve the Service. For example, we use a third party service to
manage our email marketing campaigns. This system stores your name, email address
and the date on which you registered. When we use third parties to assist us in
processing your Personal Data, we require that they comply with appropriate
confidentiality and data protection and security measures.
Clickstream Data. We may share Clickstream Data with our third party service providers
to help us deliver and improve parts of the Service and when we do so we ensure they
comply with appropriate confidentiality and data protection and security
measures. We also share Clickstream Data with our partners such as vendors who
want to better understand our user base and what interests them and what kind of
marketing materials might be the most relevant to them, but (as explained elsewhere
in this policy) we ensure that any Clickstream Data that we share with our business
partners does not identify you as an individual. We share this kind of data so that your
experience in our Service is customized and the most relevant to you and your needs.
App Data. We may share App Data with third parties so long as it does not identify any
specific individual or disclose Personal Data about you or your end users (such as the
name of someone in your unit who may have submitted a Service Request ticket). This
information allows us and our advertisers to understand business technology needs
and trends.
Marketing. We may share firmographic data and anonymous aggregated information
with third parties outside of MCC Group, such as advertisers and market research
firms approved by MCC Group, for their marketing and promotional purposes. For
example, we share with advertisers the breakdown of our user community by building
size, age, and location and, in certain circumstances, the names of companies that are
represented within our user community. This allows the advertisers to try to reach
audiences that may be interested in their products or services. When we share this
information, it does not identify you individually or disclose any of your Personal
Information.
When you sign up to a MCC Group event. When you sign up for a MCC Group event, such
as a webinar, we will ask for your consent to share your contact information with the
sponsor of the event so that they may contact you with products and service which
they feel may be of interest to you.
As Required by Law and Similar Disclosures. We reserve the right to disclose your
Personal Data as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to
protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal
process served on the Service. We may also share Personal Data with third parties in
limited circumstances, including when preventing fraud or imminent harm and
ensuring the security of our network and services.
Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition,
financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of our assets, or
transition of service to another provider, your information may be sold or transferred
as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract.
YOUR RIGHTS AND YOUR CHOICES

request access to your Personal Data that we process, to request details about such
Personal Data, including the purposes and potential recipients of this data, to have

object to the processing of your Personal Data, as well as to request a copy of your
Personal Data in a standardized format so that it can be provided to another vendor.

INTERNATIONAL USERS
MaxCondoClub. is a Canadian company and processes Personal Data on servers in the
United States of America and in other countries. In some cases, we may process
Personal Data on a server outside your own country. If you are visiting from the
European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, please
note that by using our Site, making an enquiry, availing yourself of any Service or
otherwise providing us with Personal Data you will be exporting Personal Data outside
of the EEA to the United States and processing it globally.
Our Terms of Use incorporate the EU Standard Contractual Clauses prepared for
transfers from data controllers to data processors, or data controllers to data
controllers (depending on these circumstances of the transfer) which is a specific
contract approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same
protection it has in Europe (“Model Clause Agreement”). The template text is available
in various languages at this link:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en
.
Where we are responsible for transferring your Personal Data out of the EEA (and
where we are required to do so under Applicable Data Protection Law) we will ensure a
similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the safeguards
specified under applicable European data protection law is implemented, which may
include that:
- We will only transfer your Personal Data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European Commission;
- Where we use certain service providers, we may appoint them on terms which reflect a Model Clause Agreement; or
- Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.
RETENTION OF DATA
Where you choose to create a public MCC Group profile, a project page or a profile
page, or post a user contribution, we generally do not delete or disable any information
contained in such page, profile or contribution until and unless you ask us to. To
request this, please contact us via email at support@maxcondoclub.com or send us a
notice in writing, addressed to the Data Protection Manager at MCC Group 317
Supertest Rd, Toronto, ON, M3J2M4, Canada.

necessary in order to fulfill the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and to comply
with minimum retention periods under applicable law. Unless otherwise specified in
our Terms of Use, or notified to you in writing, we generally aim to put this Personal
Data beyond further use within 12 months after the end of the provision of any Service
to you. However, you can request earlier deletion by contacting us via email at
