4. Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

 

Our site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to access and store information. In most cases, web browsers accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can typically set your browser to remove and to reject cookies. By removing or rejecting cookies, you may be unable to use certain features or services of our website.  

 

 

5. Transferring Information Internationally

 

We have servers in Canada and the United States. Please be aware that if you use our website, your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us and by third party companies in Canada and the United States. The data protection laws in these countries may not necessarily be as comprehensive as those in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK). Regardless, we will take all necessary steps to ensure the security of your personal information in line with the terms of this privacy notice and applicable laws. 

 

 

6. How Long We Keep Your Information

 

Unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements), we only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes outlined in this privacy notice. No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than 2 years. 

 

If we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete it or anonymize it, or, if it is not possible (such as when your personal information is stored in backup archives), we will store it securely and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

 

  

7. How We Protect Your Information 

 

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of any personal information we process. However, while we make every effort to secure your information, there is no guarantee that electronic transmissions over the Internet or storage of information will ever be 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or promise that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not gain access to your information, use it for improper purposes, or steal or modify it. Even though we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our website is at your own risk. You should only access the website from a secure environment.

 

8. Collecting Information from Minors 

 

We do not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 18 or market to them. By using our website, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age or a parent or guardian of such a minor dependent and that you consent to such minor's use of our Website. If we learn that personal information has been collected from users under 18 years of age, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable steps to delete the information. Please contact us at [email protected] if you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18. 

  

 

9. Do-Not-Track Features 

 

A Do-Not-Track ("DNT") option or setting can be activated in many web browsers and mobile applications to indicate a preference not to have your online browsing activities tracked and collected. As of now, no uniform technology standard has been developed for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. Accordingly, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or other mechanisms that do so automatically. We will inform you of any new standards for online tracking if such standards are adopted in the future.

 

 

10. Specific Privacy Rights for Residents of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom 

 

In some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom (UK), certain data privacy laws give you more control over and access to your personal information. If you wish to review, modify, or terminate your account, you may do so at any time. All requests will be considered and processed in accordance with applicable privacy laws. You have the right to withdraw your consent to processing at any time if we rely on your consent to process your personal information. 

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or the UK, and believe that we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you may also file a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
