Our Commitment to Data Protection

Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data on the following legal bases:
- Consent: When you voluntarily submit information through our contact forms or subscribe to communications
- Contract: When processing is necessary to fulfill a contract with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract
- Legitimate Interest: When processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests do not override your rights
- Legal Obligation: When we are required to process data to comply with applicable laws
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. We will provide this information within 30 days of your request, along with details about how we use your data.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data or complete any incomplete 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 the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, or when you withdraw consent.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that we limit 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 for direct marketing purposes or when processing is based on legitimate interests.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to withdrawal.
International Data Transfers
As we are based in Canada, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in Canada. Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection. We ensure that any international transfers of personal data comply with applicable data protection laws.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the purpose of processing. When personal data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments.
Automated Decision-Making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects individuals.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of your rights under GDPR, please contact us at:
Email: [email protected]
We will respond to your request within 30 days. In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. If we cannot fulfill your request, we will explain the reasons.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe that we have not complied with your data protection rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For individuals in the EEA, this would be the data protection authority in your country of residence.
