8. Your Rights

Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have a number of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. Under the GDPR and, where applicable, Canadian privacy law, these rights include:

8.1 Right of Access (Article 15 GDPR)

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how we use it, who we share it with, how long we retain it, and the safeguards in place for international transfers. This is commonly known as a "Subject Access Request" (SAR).

8.2 Right to Rectification (Article 16 GDPR)

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. We will use reasonable efforts to rectify such data promptly.

8.3 Right to Erasure / "Right to be Forgotten" (Article 17 GDPR)

In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete your personal data. This right applies where:

  • The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected
  • You withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
  • You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
  • The personal data has been unlawfully processed
  • Deletion is required to comply with a legal obligation

This right is not absolute; we may retain personal data where required by law, for the exercise or defence of legal claims, or for other legitimate purposes.

8.4 Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18 GDPR)

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while the accuracy of your data is being verified, or where you have objected to processing and we are assessing whether our legitimate interests override yours.

8.5 Right to Data Portability (Article 20 GDPR)

Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract, and processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.

8.6 Right to Object (Article 21 GDPR)

You have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis. You also have the absolute right to object to the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling related to direct marketing, at any time without giving any reason.

8.7 Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling (Article 22 GDPR)

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, unless such processing is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract, is authorised by law, or is based on your explicit consent. We will inform you if we engage in any such automated decision-making.

8.8 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where we process your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

8.9 How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights described above, please submit a written request to:

We may need to verify your identity before we can respond to your request. We will respond to your request within 30 days of receipt (or such other period as required by applicable law). In complex cases or where we receive a high volume of requests, we may extend this period by a further two months and will notify you accordingly.

We will not charge a fee for handling your rights request unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee or decline to act on the request.

8.10 Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal data or your rights request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Canada, the relevant authority is the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC):

  • Website: www.priv.gc.ca
  • Telephone: 1-800-282-1376
  • Address: 30 Victoria Street, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 1H3, Canada

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country of residence or place of work.

We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach a supervisory authority, so we encourage you to contact us in the first instance.

9. Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures include:

  • Encryption of personal data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest where appropriate

  • Regular security assessments, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing
  • Staff training on data protection and information security
  • Physical security controls at our premises
  • Incident response procedures and data breach notification protocols
  • PCI DSS compliant payment processing

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority as required by applicable law.
