As a company operating in Canada, 4TIRES builds connections with citizens and reflects the diversity of communities across the country.
This relationship translates digitally into an exchange of data between you (the user) and us (the company). Data is handled with care to provide Canadians with a secure and engaging experience when they share information with us.
To preserve the trust relationship between you and us, 4TIRES commits to:
We have implemented measures to protect the personal information we collect in accordance with the Privacy Act and our Privacy and Personal Information Protection Policy, such as password encryption or the use of secure communications (HTTPS) for any communication containing personal information.
Collected data is analyzed to develop products and content that match your preferences and interests. This data is used to optimize and improve digital products and enhance your usage. It may also be used to recommend content based on your interests.
“In other words: we want to know what interests you, not who you are.”
Our company is present on various third-party platforms, such as social media. When you interact with us on these platforms or use your social media credentials to log into our services, their policies and terms of use apply, and we encourage you to read them.
We may use information you provide to us on third-party platforms, as well as limited information obtained from your social media accounts (if you choose to share this information by using your social media credentials to log into our services), to interact with you, answer your questions, and for audience insights and reporting purposes.
On the Internet, every interaction with a digital product generates data. So, when you visit a page on https://4tires.ca, you generate data. Through your choices and actions, 4TIRES can transmit the necessary information to your device to display the requested content.
This exchange of data is fundamental to the operation of the Internet. Without this exchange, there is no network, and therefore no Internet.
For example, certain data, like your IP address, are necessary for us to know where to send the requested information. This is very similar to the physical world. When you request a letter or package to be delivered to your home, you need to provide your postal address, or else the sender won't know where to send it. It's the same on the Internet; without a destination address, no data can be sent to you.
We categorize the data we collect into three main categories:
For example:
For example:
Canadian preferences and needs are varied. The collected data is analyzed to enable us to develop products and services that align with your preferences.
Analytical data (your actions, your context)
Analytical data is obtained when you use our websites. The data we analyze regarding viewed content and viewing methods can be used, among other things, to:
Actions taken on our products cannot be linked to an individual. Analytical data is anonymized to prevent the identification of a specific person.
The data collected is also used to present you with advertisements matching your interests. They allow us to group user profiles of our products by audience segments with common interests.
For example, if we notice that a group of people has a strong interest in automobiles, we may present automotive-related content or advertisements to this audience segment. Subsequently, we will be able to assess the number of people in this segment who saw the advertisement or content, without identifying them personally.
Advertising targeting data is anonymized to prevent the identification of a specific person. Actions taken on our products cannot be associated with an individual.
If you do not wish us to use advertising targeting to present you with ads based on your interests, you can disable this feature by deactivating advertising targeting browser cookies in your browser.

Your data is always protected. We implement strict measures to protect the personal data to which you provide us access. These measures comply with privacy legislation and 4TIRES' privacy policy.
4TIRES encrypts all communication containing personal information. This means that the transmitted data is encoded to ensure its confidentiality during the exchange of data between your devices and the various products and services of 4TIRES.
Furthermore, your data is stored on protected and monitored infrastructures to detect and prevent leaks or intrusion attempts. We regularly conduct audits to ensure the robustness of these measures.
The data to which you grant access to 4TIRES may be transmitted to third parties in certain specific contexts. 4TIRES ensures that data transfer is carried out securely.
The collected data is not used for any purpose other than those authorized by 4TIRES.
