7. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to reduce risks and limit access to authorized personnel.
8. Your rights (Canada)
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. You may also withdraw consent for optional processing where consent is the lawful basis. To make a request, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
9. Children’s privacy
