If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.

legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on

- Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission

apply to the personal information we process as a “data processor” on behalf of our
customers. In those situations, the customer that we provide services to and with whom
we have entered into a data processing agreement is the “data controller” responsible
for your personal information, and we merely process your information on their behalf in
accordance with your instructions. If you want to know more about our customers’
privacy practices, you should read their privacy policies and direct any questions you
have to them.

kin

victim of financial abuse
▪ If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent 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
▪ If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or
profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information
was produced

uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized.
As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that
automatically communicates your choice not to be 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.
