Legal Basis for Processing
Under the GDPR, we must have a valid legal basis to process your personal data. We rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent: Where you have provided clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose, such as receiving communications or accepting cookies.
- Contract: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, such as providing the services you have requested.
- Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. This includes improving our services and ensuring website security.
- Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligations.
Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to Erasure: You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances (also known as the "right to be forgotten").
- Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- 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 in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
- Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making: You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us using the contact details provided. We will respond to your request within one month of receiving it. In certain circumstances, we may extend this period by up to two additional months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it.
We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request. There is no fee for exercising your rights, although we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on a request if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
International Data Transfers
As we are based in Canada, data collected from EEA or UK residents may be transferred to and processed in Canada. Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate protection for personal data. Where data is transferred 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. The retention period depends on the type of data, the purpose of processing, and any applicable legal requirements.
Complaints
If you believe that we have not complied with your data protection rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For individuals in the EEA, this would be the data protection authority in the country where you reside, work, or where the alleged infringement occurred.
