We retain the personal information we collect for as long as required to meet identified purposes, as long as it is reasonable to do so for customer service, legal or commercial reasons. The retention period depends on the purposes and the nature of the information. On the expiry of this period, we permanently and securely destroy or anonymize the information in compliance with applicable legislation.

8. Your Rights

Subject to the limits and provisions of applicable laws, you have the right to:

  • Request access your personal information;
  • Request to rectify or update your personal information;
  • Withdraw your consent at any time (the withdrawal of consent is binding on us with regard to the personal information the use of which was based on such consent; the withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of use based on your consent before its withdrawal);
  • Request the deletion of your personal information if it is outdated or not justified for the purposes it was collected.

If you submit a request to withdraw your consent to use or disclose your personal information, how we handle that request will depend on the situation and reasons:

  • You may withdraw your consent, but we will no longer be able to provide you a service or product that requires such consent; or
  • You may not withdraw your consent because processing your personal information is necessary or mandatory.

In either case, we may be legally required to retain certain personal information.

You may exercise the foregoing rights at any time by contacting our Privacy Officer (see below).

Any such request must contain sufficient details for us to be able to address it. We undertake to respond to any such request within a reasonable period of time, and to the extent possible, within a maximum of thirty (30) days, as set out in the applicable laws. We must, however, first verify the identity of the person making such a request.

We will ensure that your personal information is as accurate, complete and up-to-date as possible for the purposes for which it is used. However, it is your responsibility to advise us of changes to your personal information, such as your contact information.
