We take reasonable measures to ensure that the rules set forth in this Privacy Policy are complied with when we disclose Personal Information to third parties. This may include, without limitation, obtaining contractual guarantees from third parties to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with applicable law. Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage third-party service providers. By using our Services, and/or otherwise providing us with your Personal Information, you consent to the transfer of your Personal Information to countries outside of your country of residence. While such information is outside of Canada, it is subject to the laws of the country in which it is held, which may have different Personal Information protection laws, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts, law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country. However, our practices regarding your Personal Information will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.

3. CONSENT

We will not process your Personal Information without your consent, unless we are permitted or required to do so by applicable law. Your consent may be express or implied, depending on the nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, your reasonable expectations and the circumstances surrounding the collection of the Personal Information. Express consent is when you willingly agree (e.g., orally or in writing) to the processing of your Personal Information for particular purposes. Implied consent is when: (a) you do not expressly give consent, but you volunteer Personal Information for obvious purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances; or (b) you are given notice and a reasonable opportunity to opt out of your Personal Information being processed for specified purposes, and you do not opt out.

We are not responsible for any liability or loss you experience as a result of any such disposal of Personal Information.

5. SECURITY

We utilize commercially reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the Personal Information we collect, use and store. We do this to minimize the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure and alteration of Personal Information.
