Legal bases and consent (Canada)

Under Canadian privacy law, we generally collect, use, and disclose personal information with consent, except where permitted or required by law. Consent may be express (for example, submitting a contact form) or implied (for example, providing details to receive a quote). You may withdraw consent subject to legal and contractual restrictions.

Sharing and disclosures

We may share personal information with service providers that help us operate the site or communicate with you, such as email and hosting providers. These providers are authorized to use the information only as necessary to provide services to us. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including for legal, accounting, or dispute resolution needs. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
