INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Countries outside of Canada offer their own standard of data proctection.

Some of our third parties service providers are based outside Canada so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside Canada.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the Canada, we do our best to ensure a similar degree of security of data. 

If a similar degree of safeguard is not available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

The EU acknowledged Canada as having “adequacy status” in 2001 (reaffirmed in 2006), recognizing that in Canada privacy is considered a human right. In Canada, citizen data is protected under the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act(PIPEDA) and offers a level of protection in alignment with the EU's GDPR.

We are subject to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulations that protect your personal data. Where we transfer your data to third parties outside of the EEA, we will ensure that certain safeguards are in place to ensure a similar degree of security for your personal data. As such:

We may transfer your personal data to countries that the European Commission have approved as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data.

Where we use certain service providers who are established outside of the EEA, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.


DATA SECURITY

We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed without authorisation. We also allow access to your personal data only to those employees and partners who have a business need to know such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they must keep it confidential.

We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach if we are legally required to.


DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

When deciding what the correct time is to keep the data, we look at its amount, nature and sensitivity, potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the processing purposes, if these can be achieved by other means and legal requirements.

For tax purposes the law requires us to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they stop being customers.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.


YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email us at jen@yourconsciousentrepreneur.com

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive or refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

To ensure your personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).
