We ensure that the collection is limited to what is necessary for the identified purposes.

This does not include trusted third-party website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential and comply with Canadian privacy standards. These third parties are contractually bound to protect your data.

5. Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data (such as SSL encryption, access controls, regular security audits, and data minimization practices), we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. Our team is trained on data protection best practices to ensure your information is handled responsibly.
