Last update: June 20, 2022
This Privacy Policy describes the personal information that 10484750 Canada Inc (“YouSet”) collects related to the services provided on the youset.ca website (“Site”) and how we use and protect this information and the circumstances under which we may disclose this information. YouSet reserves the right to amend or modify this Policy at any time by amending this page. You are expected to check this page from time to time to take notice of any changes we make, as they are legally binding on You. By using or accessing the Site, You are agreeing to this Policy.
This Policy applies to anyone who uses the Site, including without limitation the legal entity or individual doing business with YouSet (“Customer”), and any third party permitted by the Customer to use or access the Services (“End Users”). Customers are required to inform End Users of this Policy. Customers and End Users are referred to in this Policy as “You.”
Consent
By using, registering to or otherwise accessing the Site and/or other services through the Site, (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to this Policy and give your explicit, informed consent to the collection, use and processing of your personal data in accordance with this Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy please do not visit, use, register to, or otherwise access any Services.
You may withdraw your consent at any time, unless such consent would frustrate the performance of a legal obligation. Your withdrawal or refusal to grant consent may also restrict our ability to provide the Services to You since withdrawing or refusing to disclose personal information could restrict access to insurance coverage, delay the treatment of claims, etc. Also, applications submitted may be refused if personal information is not disclosed.
If you still wish to opt out of the collection and use of your personal information as outlined in this Policy, please contact us by email at: contact@youset.ca
There are limited circumstances in which we may collect, use or disclose personal information without your consent. They are:

- In an emergency that threatens an individual’s life, health or personal security;
- When the personal information is available from a public source;
- When we require legal advice from a lawyer;
- For the purposes of collecting debt;
- To protect ourselves from fraud; or
- To investigate an anticipated breach of an agreement or a contravention of law.
Collection
Personal information is any information, which relates to a natural person and allows that person to be identified. This includes, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, name, age, sex, address, income and financial information. An insurance proposal contains some of the above personal information that will allow us to decide whether to accept or refuse the protection requested. Other personal information may be required to enable us to review any request to change your coverage. As part of our business, the personal information we receive can be used for many different purposes. As stated above, YouSet may also collect personal information about you with your consent or as permitted or required by law.
You hereby agree that the personal information you provide to YouSet is correct; otherwise it is possible that You will be unable to obtain an insurance quote or to purchase or modify an insurance policy online.

Following such a sale or transfer, you may contact the entity to which we transferred your personal information with any inquiries concerning the processing of that information.
Security
We aim to provide you with a safe experience. We have in place certain physical, technical, and administrative safeguards designed to appropriately protect the security and privacy of your personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. Please note however, that since no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee that the measures we maintain will guarantee the absolute security of that information.
We only retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide a service, or to improve our Services in future.
We limit access to your personal information within the Company to individuals with a need to know.
Your personal information may be collected, used, processed, transferred, and retained in multiple countries and jurisdictions including Canada, the United States, Asia, and the European Economic Area which may be outside the region in which you are situated and may have different privacy or data protection legislation, and may therefore be subject to the laws of these countries. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or a country which restricts data transfers outside of that jurisdiction or region without your consent, by using our Products, you consent to your personal information being transferred outside of the European Economic Area or your country for processing or storage by or on behalf of us.
Access and Rectification
When YouSet holds personal information on a natural person, that person has the right to request confirmation of this and to ask the company to communicate this information to him or her, all of which is subject to the exceptions provided for under the law. YouSet may maintain a file of your personal information subject to this Privacy Policy, accessible only to authorized employees of YouSet, authorized mandatories, and service providers who require access to your personal information for the purposes of performing their duties. A request to access or rectify information can only be considered if submitted in writing and if the concerned person provides proof of identity.
Tracking Technologies and Cookies
When you visit the Site, we collect certain information by automated means, such as through server log files, cookies (text files sent to and stored on your device when you access the Site), web beacons (also known as clear GIFs and pixel tags, which may be used to transmit information back to the Site), and embedded scripts (programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Site, such as the links you click on, and which is active only when you are accessing the Site).
The information we collect in this manner may include details about the computer, mobile phone, or other device used to access the Site (such as browser type, operating system, and IP address), referring URLs and information on actions taken or interaction with our digital assets.
We may use third-party web analytics services (such as Google analytics, Hotjar, Autopilot and others) to help us analyze how visitors use the Site. We may permit these third parties to operate directly on the Site, use their own technology (such as cookies or web beacons), and collect information about you on our behalf.
The information we collect in this manner is collected to enhance your user experience. For example, this information allows us to pre-fill form fields as well as provide you with contextual recommendations while using the Site.
We gather and store data about online usage on a collective rather than individual basis. For example, like most websites, we gather aggregate information about the number of visitors that visit our website and the pages that they view, NOT what pages were viewed by each individual. We use this information to anticipate bottlenecks, to gauge the capacity of our servers, and to improve the overall management of our website.
When you visit our Site, we may allow some third parties (such as advertising networks and data analytics companies) to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services you visit. However, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser.
