Legal basis and privacy law note  

We process your data with your consent and where necessary to provide services you request or to meet legal obligations. If you are in Canada, applicable privacy rules such as PIPEDA may apply to how we handle personal information.

Cookies and tracking

– You can opt out of non-essential cookies via your browser or the cookie control tool on our site.

Third parties and tools

We may use third-party services for email delivery, analytics, payment processing, and hosting. Those providers have their own privacy practices; we require them to process data only as instructed and to take reasonable security measures.

Data sharing and transfers

Security

We use industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, but no system is 100% secure. We will notify affected individuals and authorities of any breach where required by law.

Children

Our services are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
