How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and manage our Services

In rare cases, we may also use your information to protect someone’s vital interests—for example, to prevent serious harm.

Legal Grounds for Processing

We only handle your information when we have a valid legal reason, such as your consent, compliance with laws, delivering services you’ve requested, fulfilling contractual obligations, protecting your rights, or serving legitimate business interests.

For Canadian residents: Certain situations allow us to process your information without explicit consent, such as:

  • When it’s clearly in an individual’s best interest and consent cannot be obtained quickly
  • For fraud prevention or investigations
  • In business transactions
  • When we have reasonable grounds to suspect financial abuse

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. However, in specific circumstances, we may share it—for instance, during business transitions like mergers, financing, or the sale of assets.

Cookies and Tracking

We may use cookies or similar technologies to store and gather information.

Data Retention

We keep your personal information only as long as it’s necessary for the purposes outlined in this notice, unless the law requires us to keep it longer. Once no longer needed, we take steps to delete or securely store it until deletion is possible.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal information
  • Request corrections or deletions
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Request data portability

You can exercise these rights by contacting us. We will respond in line with applicable laws.

Withdrawing consent: If our processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us. This will not affect any processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Do-Not-Track Controls

Some browsers and mobile systems offer “Do Not Track” settings. Currently, no universal standard for recognizing these signals has been adopted, so we do not respond to them at this time. If that changes, we will update this notice.
