Service providers that process information on our behalf are expected to handle personal information appropriately and only for authorized purposes.

7. International and Cross-Border Processing

Because we may use third-party service providers located in Canada, the United States, or other jurisdictions, your personal information may be processed or stored outside the province or country in which you reside.

Where personal information is transferred to another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws and lawful access requirements of that jurisdiction.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information handled by third parties is appropriately protected.

8. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, providing services, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete or destroy it.

10. Your Privacy Rights in Canada
