We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect personal information from loss, unauthorized access, or misuse. This includes secure file storage, password-protected systems, and confidentiality agreements with employees and contractors.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations. When no longer required, personal information is securely destroyed or anonymized.

Transfer of Personal Information
Your personal information may be collected, stored, or processed in a country outside of Canada, where privacy protections may differ and may not offer the same level of protection as Canadian law. In such cases, the laws of that foreign jurisdiction may permit access to your personal information by that country’s government authorities, courts, or regulatory bodies.
