We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances: where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you; where it is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation; and where we have your consent.
Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised access, disclosure or destruction. We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. Our security measures include encryption of data in transit using TLS protocols, secure server infrastructure, regular security audits, and employee training on data protection best practices.
We may share your personal data with third parties only in the following circumstances: with service providers who perform services on our behalf such as IT and system administration, hosting services, and data analytics; with professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services; with regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies where required by applicable law or regulation; and in connection with a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of Canada, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing at least one of the following safeguards: we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; we may use specific contracts approved for use which give personal data the same protection it has in Canada; or we may transfer data to organisations who are members of recognised privacy frameworks.
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include the right to request access to your personal data commonly known as a data subject access request; the right to request correction of the personal data that we hold about you; the right to request erasure of your personal data; the right to object to processing of your personal data; the right to request restriction of processing your personal data; the right to request transfer of your personal data; and the right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise any of the other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests.
