You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how we process it.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete data.

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, 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 based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
Rights Related to Automated Decision Making
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month of receipt. This period may be extended by two further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests.
We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access personal data or to exercise any of your other rights.
International Data Transfers
As we are located in Canada, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in Canada. Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate protection for personal data. Where we transfer data to other countries, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the data, and applicable legal requirements.
Complaints
If you are unsatisfied with our response to a privacy-related inquiry, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach a supervisory authority, so please contact us first.
