We process your personal information based on several legal foundations. When you voluntarily submit information through contact forms or service inquiries, we rely on your consent. We also process data based on our legitimate interests in improving our services, understanding user needs, and maintaining website security. Some processing may be necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or comply with legal requirements. In all cases, we ensure that the processing is proportionate and respects your privacy rights.

• Marketing Communications: Data for newsletter subscribers is retained until you unsubscribe, at which point it is removed within 30 days.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information. If you request deletion before these periods end, we will comply with your request unless legal obligations require us to retain the data.

You have several important rights regarding your personal information. You have the right to access all personal data we hold about you and receive a copy in a portable format.

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses SSL encryption to secure data transmission, and we maintain strict access controls limiting employee access to personal data. We regularly review and update our security practices to address emerging threats. While we strive to maintain the highest security standards, no online system is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your account information confidential. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your information, we will notify you promptly and take appropriate remedial action.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your jurisdiction. For residents of Canada, you may contact the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe we have violated your privacy rights or privacy legislation.

The Privacy Commissioner can investigate complaints and take action to protect your privacy rights.
