Your Rights Under GDPR
As a data subject, you have the following rights:
Right to Access
You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, if so, access to that data along with information about how it is processed.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected and incomplete data completed.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request restriction of 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 processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or processing based on legitimate interests.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently engage in such automated decision-making.
How to Exercise 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 it.
To verify your identity, we may ask you to provide additional information. This is to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to unauthorized persons.
Data Transfers
As we are based in Canada, any personal data collected from EU residents may be transferred to and processed in Canada. Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate protection for personal data. We also implement appropriate safeguards to protect transferred data.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Our specific retention periods are outlined in our Privacy Policy.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing personal data. These measures include encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments.
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay, unless exceptions apply under GDPR.
Complaints
If you believe that our processing of your personal data violates GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EU member state of your residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
Updates
We may update this GDPR information from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
