Our privacy and cookie policy
Being careful with your data
What you should know
You should read this policy to understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use (ie, the information we collect using cookies, how that information is used and how to control your preferences) and what we will not do with your data.
We provide the option to consent to cookies being used, manage your preferences and withdraw your consent at any time as required by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR – an opt-in law) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA – and opt-out law) (read more below). You can also learn more about who we are and how to contact us.
Gemini Marine Canvas does not sell data lists. We DO use a variety of electronic tools to help us track our performance, improve our products and serve you better. Using these tools can mean some of the data you give us is transferred to electronic companies like Google, which may legally constitute a “sale” of that data under some new data protection laws, notably under the “Do not sell my data” provisions of the CCPA. It is this use of data that we discuss here.
Your consent applies to the following domains: www.geminicanvas.com

How we use cookies
As with most online services, our website uses first-party and third-party cookies for a number of purposes.
The first-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function properly. They do not collect any of your personally-identifiable data.
The third-party cookies used on our websites are used mainly to understand how the website performs and how you interact with our website, to keep our services secure and to provide you with a better user experience, including to help speed up your future interactions with our website.
We disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of our employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services available at our websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using our websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
We will not rent or sell (ie, accept payment for) potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information. We only use your data to improve our business.

We expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.
If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. We takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
