When you use a link to go from CalgaryRWA.com to another website, this Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services. Your browsing and interaction on any third-party website or service are subject to that third party’s own rules and policies.

Analytics

CalgaryRWA may collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics to study traffic and trends on this website or the email newsletters.
