Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data only when we have a valid legal basis to do so. The legal bases we rely on include:

• Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose.
• Contract: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
• Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided your rights and interests do not override those interests.

Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of any incomplete or inaccurate personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EEA member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided above. We will respond to your request within one month. In certain circumstances, we may extend this period by two additional months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for the delay.

We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. If your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request.

International Data Transfers

As a Canadian organization, we may transfer personal data from the EEA to Canada. Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection for transfers from the EEA to commercial organizations subject to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Where we transfer data to third parties located outside of adequate jurisdictions, we implement appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

• Encryption of personal data where appropriate
• The ability to ensure ongoing confidentiality, integrity, and availability of processing systems
• The ability to restore access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of an incident
• Regular testing and evaluation of the effectiveness of security measures

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When determining appropriate retention periods, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and applicable legal requirements.

Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, in a way that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.

Updates to This Information

We may update this GDPR compliance information from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
