Privacy Policy
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.
Contact-form information will generally be retained only as long as reasonably necessary to respond to and manage the inquiry and for legitimate business or legal purposes.
Server logs and analytics information may be retained according to the retention policies of our hosting and analytics providers.
When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy, or anonymize it.
7. Retention of Personal Information
Some third-party service providers we use may store or process information outside Canada.
Where personal information is transferred to or processed in another country, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, law enforcement, or government authorities in accordance with those laws.
We take reasonable steps to use service providers and safeguards appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information involved.

We may also disclose information where required or permitted by law, including where necessary to comply with legal obligations, court orders, or lawful requests from governmental or regulatory authorities.
5. Disclosure of Personal Information

Other purposes that are identified at or before the time information is collected or that are otherwise permitted by applicable law.
We will not use personal information for unrelated purposes without obtaining consent where consent is required.
Canadian privacy principles generally require organizations to identify the purposes for collecting personal information, limit collection to what is necessary, and limit subsequent use and disclosure to appropriate purposes.
