Social media sites

FinDev Canada uses social media, which use is an extension of its web presence. FinDev Canada has official profiles (“FinDev Canada Profiles”) on several social media networks (“Social Media Sites”), which we may use as another means through which to interact with you. If you decide to interact with FinDev Canada through one of these FinDev Canada Profiles, your engagement with FinDev Canada is governed in part by the terms of use, privacy policies, and other applicable policies and guidelines of these third-party social media platform providers. FinDev Canada has no control over the social media platform providers’ terms of use and related documents. FinDev Canada encourages you to read the terms of use and related documents before accessing the Social Media Sites. Note that these FinDev Canada Profiles are not hosted on FinDev Canada’s servers, but on servers managed by the social media platform providers. FinDev Canada accepts no responsibility for the Social Media Sites becoming unavailable or dysfunctional.

FinDev Canada seeks to create open, respectful communication within our FinDev Canada Profiles. You must ensure that your comments and contributions are respectful. You may not post spam or ads on our FinDev Canada Profiles. FinDev Canada reserves the right to: (1) remove comments and contributions; (2) report users; and (3) block users. In addition to reporting any comment or contribution that you consider inappropriate to the Social Media Site, you can report inappropriate comments or contributions to info@findevcanada.ca. While we work to moderate anything that is offensive, unsuitable or derogatory, we are not legally responsible for content posted by third parties.

We encourage you to share and comment on content that we post to our official social media profiles if you do not alter it and you cite us as the source. From time to time we may share articles, reports or other content from third parties we find relevant to the work we do. This does not mean we are agreeing or supporting a point of view or endorsing a product or service. While we make our due diligence to verify the sources of the information we share, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of third-party content.

You may submit content, including text, images, photographs and video to the FinDev Canada for online sharing (collectively, “User-Generated Content” or “UGC”), provided that you grant FinDev Canada a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free and fully-paid, transferable right (including the right to sublicense) to exercise all copyright, publicity, and moral rights with respect to any UGC you submit to FinDev Canada in any media formats and through any media channels. FinDev Canada expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for the UGC posted to its FinDev Canada Profiles, and such content does not necessarily represent the opinions or positions of FinDev Canada. FinDev Canada retains the right to decline to post any User Generated Content or remove any previously posted content on FinDev Canada’s social networks in our sole discretion.

We think it is essential to keep your personal and financial information secure. While we want to provide you with help on our social media profiles, we ask that you do not post personal information unless we specifically request you to do so in a private message, and even then, we’ll only ask you for contact details and NEVER for any financial information. If you want to check the eligibility of your business, please fill out this contact form to ensure your request is received by the right department. If you need to reach us for general inquiries, please send an email to info@findevcanada.ca.
