Protecting your information

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, misuse, or alteration.

These measures may include secure website connections, access controls, software updates, backups, payment processing through established providers, and limiting access to information.

No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accessing or correcting your information

You may contact us to request access to, or correction of, personal information that we hold about you.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.

You may also ask us to delete personal information that is no longer required. Some order, payment, fraud-prevention, tax, accounting, or legal records may need to be retained even after a deletion request.

Canadian privacy principals provide individuals with rights to request access to and correction of personal information held by an organization, subject to applicable exceptions.
