Data Security and Retention
Protecting your information is our top priority. We implement multiple layers of security measures and follow strict data retention policies.

Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and help us understand how visitors use our platform.

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic patterns and user behavior. This helps us improve our content and services. Google Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated, and we don't combine it with personally identifiable information.
International Data Transfers
While we primarily store and process data within Canada, some of our technology vendors may be located in other countries, particularly the United States.
When we transfer personal information outside Canada, we ensure adequate protection through contractual safeguards, adequacy decisions, or other mechanisms recognized under Canadian privacy law. We carefully vet all international vendors to ensure they meet Canadian privacy standards.
You have the right to know about any international transfers of your personal information and can request details about the safeguards we've put in place to protect your data abroad.
