In Short: We only process your personal information
when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under

interests.
If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the
valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the
following legal bases to process your personal information:

would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable
for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada
or a province
- If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant,
court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records

information (see "WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL
INFORMATION?" above), in the United States, and other countries.
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or
Switzerland, then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as
comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take all necessary measures to protect your
personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.
European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses:
We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by
using the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information
between our group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses require all
recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the EEA or UK in
accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our
third-party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request.

necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the
purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law
(such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping
your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal
information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example,
because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your
personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal
information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security
measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our
safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or
information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that
hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and
improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your
personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You
should only access the Services within a secure environment.

10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a
Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to
have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology
standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently

tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will
inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
