We will hold organizations outside of Canada accountable under Canadian law for any personal information which may be transferred to them.

How do we protect personal information?

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We maintain appropriate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the personal information in our possession.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit or provide to us, and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or administrative safeguards.

We limit the information shared with third parties to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their services, and we ensure a comparable level of protection through contractual or other means to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
