  • Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with legal requirements (e.g., tax and accounting records)
  • Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided it does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms

Right to Access

You have the right to request access to your personal data and receive a copy of the information we hold about you.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or if you withdraw consent.

You have the right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of your data.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and 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 based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or your local data protection authority if you believe we have not complied with data protection laws.
