The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the choices you make.

We may disclose your personal information to our third-party service providers, vendors, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work.

Examples include payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing efforts.

International Data Transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your personal data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.

By using our services, you consent to such transfers.

Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information.

While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

We strive to protect your personal data but cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your Privacy Rights in Canada

In Canada, you have certain rights regarding your personal information under applicable privacy laws, including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information.

You also have the right to withdraw consent for the processing of your personal information.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details provided below.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Our retention policies are regularly reviewed.
