PLUG INS, LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES

The Services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks, or applications.

We do not control these third-party websites, and we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may transfer personal information that we collect or that you provide to contractors, service providers, and other third parties that we use to support our business and who are contractually obligated to provide a comparable level of privacy protection while the information is processed or handled by them.

We may process, store, and transfer your personal information in and to other countries with different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as Canadian law. In these circumstances, the governments, courts, law enforcement, or regulatory agencies of that country may be able to obtain access to your personal information through the laws of the foreign country.

DATA RETENTION

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

DATA SECURITY

The security of your personal information is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website and/or App like message boards, which any Website or App visitor can view.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services.

ACCESSING AND CORRECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes. By law you have the right to request access to and to correct the personal information that we hold about you.

You can review, verify, and change your personal information by logging into the Website or App and visiting your account profile page. If you would like access to your personal information, you may also send us an email at hello@ceo.ca. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect. We may also request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and your right to access. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information that we hold about you, or that we have destroyed, erased, or de-identified in accordance with our record retention obligations and practices. If we cannot provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
