Last revised: [...], 2023

Application Okaz Inc. (the “Company”) provides services to you through one or more mobile applications, through one or more websites and through related services (collectively and individually the “Services”), subject to the following Terms of Use. Among other things, the Services allow users to send event invitations to their contacts through third-party applications. Any user of the Services is deemed to have read, accepted and recognized the validity of these Terms of Use, and undertakes to respect them and be bound by them. If a user of the Services does not accept these Terms of Use, they must stop using the Services. The Company may, at any moment and without prior notice, modify these Terms of Use. The users of the Services are asked to check regularly if these Terms of Use have been modified. Any such changes will become effective no earlier than thirty (30) days after they are posted, except that changes addressing new functions of the Services or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you disagree with such changes, you may cease to use the Services at any time. Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. These Terms of Use form the full set of rights and obligations between the Company and any user of the Services, and replace any terms or prior provision relating to the use of the Services. No verbal or written declaration from an employee or director of the Company, or any other person, may modify or substitute these Terms of Use. The Services is managed and fed from a computer located in the province of Quebec, Canada. The content and use of the Services are governed by the applicable laws of Quebec and Canada. These Terms of Use, as well as any dispute or misunderstanding resulting from their application, must be interpreted in accordance with these laws. In the case that any part of these Terms of Use were held to be unlawful, null or unenforceable, this part would be deemed to be divisible from all other provisions of these Terms of Use and would thus not affect the validity or enforceability of these other provisions, which would be interpreted without making reference to the removed section. Any litigation resulting from or associated to the use of the Services or to these Terms of Use shall be subjected to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province of Quebec or a federal Canadian court, in the judicial district of Montreal, despite any potential application of the principle of conflicting laws. Some jurisdictions do not allow Terms of Use to be governed by the laws of a foreign jurisdiction and/or or prohibit the attribution of jurisdiction to a court. Accordingly, applicable laws of Quebec may not apply to you and the foregoing courts may not be the exclusive forum. In all cases, the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, also known as the Vienna Convention, and any local implementing legislation related to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is hereby expressly excluded. The Services are accessible through the use of the Internet and in standard Internet formats. The Company reserves the right to modify these formats at all times and it is the obligation of the user to procure, at their cost, access to the Internet as well as any software required to access the Services.

Privacy policy

Last revised: [...], 2023

Application Okaz Inc. (the “Company”) respects an individual’s privacy and will only collect, use or disclose personal information about you in accordance with its Privacy Policy (the “Policy”). We recognize every individual’s right to privacy and acknowledge our obligation to preserve the confidentiality of personal information. The Company takes steps to protect and maintain the confidentiality of personal information of those persons with whom it deals, including users of its products and services, and prior and prospective customers (collectively “Users” and individually a “User”, as appropriate), and the Company is responsible for the personal information it has in its possession or under its control. This Policy explains how the Company collects, uses, discloses, retains and protects the personal information of its Users within the framework of its activities, including in connection with the use of the website and of the application of the Company (collectively and individually, the “Services”). The Services are intended only for Users located in Canada. By supplying their personal information to the Company or by using the Services, as the case may be, Users agree to this Policy. The Company reserves the right to update its Privacy Policy at any time and such modifications shall be effective immediately, unless otherwise stated. Users are asked to regularly check to see whether this Policy has been modified. Users are deemed to have accepted any modifications to this Policy if they continue to provide personal information to the Company after publication of such modifications.

Types of information collected and manner in which the information is collected

For the purposes of this Policy, “Personal Information” is any information relating to the identity of any individual, such as name, birth date, address and other information pertaining to such individual’s identity. When Users use the Services, the Company collects Users’ personal information, as further described below:
* User-provided personal information: Personal information voluntarily provided by Users in connection with the Services, for instance when using one of the Services’ features. Depending on the feature used, the personal information collected may include Users’ first and last name, date of birth, phone numbers and other contact information, interests and availabilities, as well as any other personal information Users voluntarily provide. The Company may also request that Users enable (i) location services so that the Company may collect their location information, (ii) access to their contacts and calendar, and/or (iii) access to other applications. By enabling these features, Users provide the Company with related information, but they can manage their permissions for these features in their device settings. Additionally, certain features of the Services may direct Users to other websites, applications or services not operated or controlled by the Company. Any personal information provided while using such third party sites is not subject to this Policy.
* Location data: Some features in the Services require that Users provide their location. If location services are enabled when Users use the Services on their mobile device, the Company collects and uses Users’ geocoordinates (e.g. latitude and longitude) to tailor the Services. The Company will only use this location data with Users’ express permission. If Users have persistent background location enabled on their mobile device, the Company will know Users’ location even if they are not using the Services. Users’ location is never shared with others, except with Users’ consent or as permitted under this Policy. The Company uses various technologies to determine Users’ precise location, such as the location services of their operating system or browser. If Users have opted in to sharing their background location with the Company while using the Services, they may withdraw their permission at any time by opening their device settings and toggling off background sharing.
* Aggregate data: In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the Users of the Services, the Company may conduct research on User demographics, interests and behaviour based on personal and other information provided on the Services. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis. The Company may share this aggregate data, as well as anonymized and aggregated statistical and usage data, and data related to the features of the Services, with its affiliates, agents and service providers, to use and disclose for their own purposes, as permitted by applicable law, including for improving the Services, developing new products and services and for marketing purposes (e.g., indicating the number of customers using the Services). This aggregate information does not identify Users personally, nor can it reasonably be associated with Users.

Consent

The Company collects Users’ Personal Information for the purposes outlined below.
In addition to the purposes set out this Privacy Policy, the Company will identify the purposes for which Personal Information is collected at or before the time it is collected. If the Company seeks to use Personal Information that has been collected for a purpose not previously identified, it will seek your consent prior to use, unless it is otherwise required by law. Subject to legal or contractual requirements, Users may at any time withdraw their consent to the collection, use or disclosure of their Personal Information by writing to the Privacy Officer of the Company at the coordinates below, giving reasonable notice. However, the withdrawal of such consent could limit the capacity of the Company to offer certain specific Services to the User, prevent the Company from providing same or even force the Company to cease from providing same. Moreover, even in case of withdrawal of consent, the Company may nevertheless by law have the right or obligation to retain, use or disclose Personal Information about a User.

Purposes for collecting and using Personal Information

In addition to the above purposes, the Company may collect and use Personal Information for the following purposes:
1. Provide customized Services or information requested by Users;
2. Communicate with Users as part of the activities of the Company, for internal quality assurance purposes or to manage the quality of the information provided;
3. Detect and prevent fraud;
4. For statistical and accounting purposes;
5. Inform Users of news, updates, information and special offers concerning the Services of the Company, in accordance with applicable anti-spam legislation;
6. If the Company has reasonable grounds to believe that it might be useful as part of the investigation of a violation of provincial, federal or foreign law or to ensure the protection or defence of a legal interest;
7. As required or permitted by law.

Retention of Personal Information

The Company retains the Personal Information it collects only as long as it is necessary to conduct its activities and accomplish specific goals while it is reasonable to do so for customer service, legal or commercial purposes. The length of retention period depends on the Services and the nature of this information. When the retention period expires, the information is destroyed, deleted or anonymized.

Disclosure of Personal Information

The Company agrees not to publish, sell, rent or share the Personal Information of the Users with anyone except to the extent allowed in this Policy.
The Company will disclose Personal Information about Users to third parties only in the following situations:
1. The User has expressly authorized the Company to disclose the information provided for a specific purpose;
2. The third parties involved are acting on behalf of the Company as agents or suppliers, and the information will be disclosed to them only in order to assist the Company in providing the Services, it being understood that these third parties shall respect strict contractual conditions that oblige them to maintain the confidentiality of all information and use it only for purposes related to the supply of the Services by the Company;
3. If a person is acting as a representative of the User or if the Company reasonably believes that the person is acting pursuant to an appropriate authorization (for example as tutor, holder of parental authority, etc.), or is a person who owns a Service jointly with the User;
4. In accordance with the conditions applicable to a Service of the Company, to facilitate the sale of the Service, in particular to satisfy legal requirements;
5. If the Company is required to provide Personal Information in response to a legitimate court order or subpoena to submit documents or investigation by authorities or is otherwise required by law;
6. The Company reserves the right to report to law enforcement authorities any activity that the Company thinks in good faith to be illegal;
7. The Company may disclose certain Personal Information when it considers such disclosure reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property and safety of third parties as well as those of the Company or to ensure Users’ compliance with its obligations in regards to the Company;
8. Should the Company sell its business or assets, in whole or in part, or is involved in a merger, as required by such a transaction, as well as in any prior due diligence.

Protection and accuracy of the Personal Information

The Company takes seriously the management of the Personal Information of Users. Only authorized Company personnel have access to the Personal Information of Users. These employees have been informed by the Company of their obligation to preserve the confidentiality of this Personal Information. The Company employees who have access to Personal Information may use it only in accordance with the principles set out in this Policy and applicable legislation and regulation. The security and protection of Personal Information is important to the Company. The Company applies reasonable technical, contractual, administrative and tangible measures to protect the Personal Information of Users against its unauthorized use or disclosure as well as its loss or theft, including encryption of secured transactions when required. Although it is impossible to guarantee 100% protection, the Company has adopted rigorous methods that comply with strict security standards to ensure protection of Personal Information. We also limit access to your Personal Information to those employees, contractors and agents who have a business need to know. Depending on the nature of Personal Information, it may be stored in the offices of the Company or in various computer systems of the Company or its service suppliers or in storage installations of the Company or its service suppliers. The Company will ensure that the Personal Information about Users is as accurate, complete and up-to-date as possible for the purposes for which it is used. It is however the responsibility of the User to update Personal Information, such as addresses, with the Company.

Access to Personal Information and Modification of Personal Information
Users may access their own Personal Information in order to consult, update or correct such, by contacting the Company’s Privacy Officer in writing by email or regular mail at the coordinates provided below. Any such request must contain sufficient details for the Company to be able to process it. The Company agrees to respond to any such request within a reasonable period of time, and to the extent possible, within a maximum of thirty (30) days. The Company must however first verify the identity of the person making such a request. The Company may refuse in writing access to or modification of Personal Information of a User for serious reasons, such as the exorbitant cost of supplying the information, the fact that the Personal Information contains information about other persons, the existence of legal, security or proprietary commercial reasons and the fact that the information is protected by professional secrecy, attorney-client privilege, or involved in a legal proceeding. The Company may charge fees for the transcription, copying or transmission of Personal Information of a User and will so advise the User in advance.

Collection of additional Personal Information through the Services
As part of the use of the Services online, the Company may collect additional Personal Information (“Online Information”) about the use of the Services, and this Policy applies to this Online Information with the appropriate adjustments. General information, such as demographic statistics about Users, the number of Users and the average time of use of the Services, is likewise considered Online Information. The Company collects or obtains Online Information as part of the operation of the Services. For example, when a User decides to use the Services, the Company may automatically collect information obtained by way of analytical tools or digital markers. These analytical tools collect only a limited dataset, in particular the time and date when a Service was used and the IP address. A Service may also contain analytical tools placed by advertising partners or service providers in order to allow the Company to evaluate the effectiveness of the Services, including Google Analytics, Google Marketing Platform and Google Ad Manager. Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses Online Information collected to track the use of the Services and to personalize ads. You can opt-out of having your Online Information being used by Google Analytics for example by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available at: [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). More information on the privacy practices of Google is available at: [https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites) More information on how Google Marketing Platform advertising products and Google Ad Manager use cookies is available at: [https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/2839090?hl=en](https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/2839090?hl=en) In addition to what is already provided in this Policy in regards to Personal Information, the Company uses Online Information to track the use of the Services and improve their use, customize the experience of the Users, in particular by proposing customized advertisements and offers, make statistical analyses of all the characteristics and behaviours of Users, measure the demographic variables and interests of Users with respect to specific Services, describe its Services to third parties and potential commercial partners and determine how and where Company resources can be allocated more effectively. No Personal Information is disclosed as part of such activities. This Online Information is necessary for the Company to be able to collect the data required to record the number of Users, the functionalities or aspects of the Services most used, the technology used by the Users of the Services, the referral websites and the location of the Users.

Cross-Border Transfer

The Company processes and stores Personal Information using it service provider’s servers located in Canada. If you are located outside of Canada, your Personal Information and other information that we collect may be transferred to Canada, for the purposes described above. By accepting this Policy, using our Services or providing us with any Personal Information, you agree to the transfer of information to Canada.

Links to third party websites, mobile applications and social media

The Services may contain links third party websites, mobile applications and social media (collectively and individually, “Third Party Sites”) that can cause leaving the website or the mobile application where the User is located. The Company provides these links for convenience. The Third Party Sites are not under the control of the Company, which therefore has no control over the privacy and confidentiality practices of such Third Party Sites.
