6. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

  • Analytics Services (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • Email Marketing Providers (for sending newsletters)
  • Ad Networks (for displaying ads)

These third-party providers are required to handle your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

8. Transfers of Data Outside of Canada

If your personal data is transferred outside of Canada, we ensure that it is protected by using appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other legal mechanisms.
