We rely on your consent, contractual necessity, or legitimate interests (balanced against your rights) as the legal basis for processing.

For commercial electronic messages, we comply with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) by obtaining consent and providing clear identification and unsubscribe mechanisms.

5. When and With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?

We may disclose your personal information to:

  • Legal and regulatory authorities: When required by law or to protect rights and safety.

7. Retention of Personal Information

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Once no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and purpose (for example, project-related data may be kept for the duration of the contract plus applicable limitation periods).

8. Security Safeguards

We use reasonable physical, organizational, and technological safeguards to protect your personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
