Marketing messages are sent only with express or implied consent under Canada’s Anti‑Spam Legislation (CASL) and always include an unsubscribe option.

6. COOKIES, TRACKING & “DO NOT TRACK”

We use first‑ and third‑party cookies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and serve relevant ads. Non‑essential cookies load only if you opt‑in through our banner, where you can change settings at any time. We currently do not respond to browser Do‑Not‑Track signals.

7. WHEN WE SHARE INFORMATION

We share personal information only:

  • with service providers bound by confidentiality;
  • with prospective buyers or sellers when you authorise us in writing;
  • when required by law; or
  • if we sell or restructure our business (the new owner will honour this Policy).

We do not sell or share personal information for monetary consideration or cross‑context behavioural advertising under California’s CPRA. If that ever changes, we will provide a clear opt‑out link.

8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS & SAFEGUARDS

Our main systems are in Canada and the United States. Where data crosses borders we rely on safeguards such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses. You may request a copy by emailing us.

9. SECURITY MEASURES & BREACH NOTIFICATION

We use TLS encryption, multi‑factor authentication, role‑based access, secure shredding, and routine security testing. If a breach poses a real risk of significant harm, we will notify affected individuals and regulators without undue delay.

10. DATA RETENTION

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purpose collected, plus any extra period required by law, tax, or audit. We then securely destroy or anonymise it.
