Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how we process it.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete data.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Right to Restriction
You have the right to request that we restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, 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 for direct marketing purposes or where processing is based on legitimate interests.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact information provided above. We will respond to your request within one month of receipt. This period may be extended by two additional months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests.
We may request verification of your identity before processing your request. There is generally no fee for exercising your rights, although we may charge a reasonable fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.
International Data Transfers
As our company is based in Canada, personal data may be transferred outside the EEA. Canada has received an adequacy decision from the European Commission, meaning that Canadian data protection laws are considered to provide adequate protection for personal data. Where we transfer data to other countries, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
