This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use and disclose your personal information gathered about you, in conformance with our applicable privacy law obligations.

This privacy policy applies to personal information we collect, use or disclose when you:

  • use our Website;
  • submit personal information to us, including on a voluntary basis;
  • apply for a job or to volunteer with us;
  • authorize us to obtain personal information from other sources; and

About Solis

Solis seeks to support people in an integrative approach to healing from cancer, complementing conventional treatments with alternative and natural ones as well as lifestyle changes.

What is personal information?

Personal information is any information, whether factual or subjective, about an identifiable person. This includes information such as your name, address, telephone number, birth date, e-mail address, and financial information.

This privacy policy is not intended to cover information other than personal information, such as business or anonymous information.

How is consent obtained?

We will obtain your consent (through this privacy policy, electronic registration, or other means) to collect, use and/or disclose personal information except where we are authorized or required by law to do so without consent. Where necessary, we may require a parent’s or guardian’s consent.

From time to time, we may wish to use or disclose your personal information for new or additional purposes. We will obtain your consent to use or share your personal information for such new or additional purposes before doing so.

Information we collect about you and how we collect it

Personal Information

We do not collect information indiscriminately and will limit collection of information to that which is reasonable and necessary for the purposes it was collected or as authorized by law.

We will inform you of the purposes for which we collect, use and share personal information before or at the time the information is collected, including through this privacy policy. In addition to the purposes identified below, we may inform you of other purposes from time to time, either in writing or orally.

Often it is optional for you to provide your personal information, but other times some personal information is required to serve you. You may choose not to provide your personal information even in such cases, but that may result in our inability to serve you.

When members decide to register for an Solis account (an “Account”) through our Website we require information from them such as their email address and name.

Other Scenarios

We may collect your information when you:

  • correspond with us, including via email, conventional post, telephone, in-person or otherwise;

Some of our service providers may store personal information in the United States or other countries and will be subject to the laws of the local jurisdiction. As a result, in certain circumstances, the United States and other foreign governments, courts, law enforcement agencies or regulatory agencies may be entitled to access the personal information collected and held by us. In addition, if you are visiting our website from a country other than Canada, your communication through our website or any of our services may result in the transfer of information across international boundaries.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure.

Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on our Website or App.
