The following provisions apply to users protected by Canadian regulations:

In accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), we obtain your consent when we collect, use, or disclose your Personal Data. The form of consent may vary depending on the circumstances and the type of Personal Data collected. Express consent is generally obtained when the information is likely to be considered sensitive, while implied consent may be appropriate when the information is less sensitive.

Have your Personal Data amended where inaccurate or incomplete
Withdraw your consent to the continued use and disclosure of your Personal Data

Cross-Border Data Transfers

Your Personal Data may be stored and processed in Canada or other countries where we or our service providers maintain facilities. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules than in your country.

When we transfer your Personal Data to other countries, we will protect that Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable law. We take steps to ensure that third parties involved in processing your data maintain appropriate data protection safeguards.

12.2 Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) Compliance

The following provisions apply to users protected by Canadian regulations regarding commercial electronic messages:

In compliance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), we obtain appropriate consent before sending commercial electronic messages (CEMs) to electronic addresses. We may rely on either express or implied consent:

Express consent means you have actively agreed to receive our communications, which remains valid until you withdraw it.
Implied consent may arise from an existing business relationship, existing non-business relationship, conspicuous publication of your address, or voluntary disclosure of your address to us without indicating you do not wish to receive CEMs.

When requesting your express consent, we clearly identify the purpose for which consent is sought, provide our contact information, and inform you that you can withdraw your consent at any time.

Unsubscribe Mechanism

Every commercial electronic message we send includes a clear and prominent unsubscribe mechanism that allows you to withdraw your consent to receive future messages. The unsubscribe mechanism:

Is easy to use and at no cost to you
Can be executed through the same electronic means by which the message was sent, or if that is not practicable, through another electronic means
Specifies an electronic address or link to a webpage to which the unsubscribe request may be sent

When you unsubscribe, we will honor your request within 10 business days. We will not charge a fee, require you to provide Personal Data beyond your electronic address, or make you take any steps other than sending a reply email or visiting a single webpage to unsubscribe.

CASL Compliance Statement

We are committed to compliance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). This means we:

Obtain appropriate consent before sending commercial electronic messages
Clearly identify ourselves in all communications
Provide our contact information in all communications
Honor all unsubscribe requests promptly
Do not alter transmission data without consent

13. Controls For Do-Not-Track Features

Many web browsers and mobile devices offer Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) settings that allow you to signal your privacy preferences regarding online tracking. However, because there is no universal standard for DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them. Should a standard be established that we are required to follow, we will update our Privacy Policy accordingly.
