providers, telephone and technical support providers, research and analytics providers, and providers of credit
reporting and identity verification services.
If we provide your information to service providers, then we require that the service providers keep your Personal

service providers to disclose your Personal Information to unauthorized parties or to use your Personal
Information for their own purposes. If you would like more information about our service providers, please contact

contacting us directly using the contact information in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

Information Security
We have implemented physical, organizational, contractual and technological security measures with a view to
protecting your Personal Information from loss or theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or
modification. We have taken steps to ensure that the only personnel who are granted access to your Personal
Information are those with a business ‘need-to-know’ or whose duties reasonably require such information.
Despite the measures outlined above, no method of information transmission or information storage is 100%
secure or error-free, so we unfortunately cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that
your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any information that you
provided to us has been compromised), please contact us immediately using the contact information in the “How
to Contact Us” section below.
Accessing and Updating Your Personal Information
You may make a written request to review any Personal Information about you that we have collected, used or
disclosed, and we will provide you with any such Personal Information to the extent required by applicable laws.

You may also challenge the accuracy or completeness of your Personal Information in our records. If you
successfully demonstrate that your Personal Information in our records is inaccurate or incomplete, we will amend
the Personal Information as required.
We may require that you provide sufficient identification to fulfill your request to access or correct your Personal
Information. Any such identifying information will be used only for this purpose.
International Transfer and Storage of Information
Your Personal Information may be stored and processed at our offices in Canada or at the offices of our third party
service providers, or at data centers managed by us or third party service providers, in Canada and the United
States. Other jurisdictions may have different data protection rules than Canada. While your Personal Information
is outside of Canada, it is subject to the laws of the country in which it is located. Those laws may require
disclosure of your Personal Information to authorities in that country. For written information about our policies
