6. Data Transfer to Third Countries
Some of our service providers may store or process personal information outside Canada, including in the United States or other jurisdictions. As a result, personal information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions and may be accessible to courts, law enforcement, or regulatory authorities in those countries.
Where personal information is transferred outside Canada, we take reasonable steps to ensure that it is protected by contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
7. Storage Duration
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to meet legal, accounting, tax, or regulatory requirements, and to resolve disputes or enforce agreements.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the context in which it was collected. When personal information is no longer required, we will securely delete, destroy, or anonymize it in accordance with our retention practices and applicable law.

11. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. These safeguards may include access controls, secure storage, encryption where appropriate, staff confidentiality obligations, and system monitoring.
