If you access the Service from outside Canada, including from the EEA or UK, your data may be transferred to and stored in countries that may not offer the same level of protection. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we put appropriate safeguards in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. You may request deletion at any time, subject to our legal obligations.
