We respect your privacy and commit to the full protection of your personal data in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy legislation including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). We understand that privacy is a fundamental right, and we take our responsibility to protect your personal information seriously.

We are the data controller for your personal data - the owners and operators of this portal. We process personal data only to the extent necessary for providing information services and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. This policy applies to all information collected through our website, as well as any related services, sales, marketing, or events. Please read this privacy policy carefully as it will help you understand what we do with the information that we collect.

2. Scope of Collected Data

As part of operating our portal, we collect the following categories of personal data:

• Identification Data - first and last name, email address, phone number (if you voluntarily provide it through the contact form or when subscribing to our newsletter)
• Technical Data - IP address, browser type and version, operating system and platform, screen resolution, time zone settings, browser plug-in types and versions, and other technology on the devices you use to access our website
• Usage Data - visited subpages, time spent on page, traffic source, actions performed on page, full URL clickstream to, through and from our website, page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information
• Marketing Data - communication preferences, marketing consents, subscription preferences (only if you voluntarily consent)
• Cookies and Similar Technologies - session identifiers, user preferences, analytical data, and information that helps us recognize your browser and capture information about your visit

All data is collected in accordance with the principle of data minimization - we collect only the information necessary to achieve the specified purposes. We do not collect any special categories of personal data about you, such as details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data.

3. Purposes and Legal Bases for Data Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases and for the following purposes:

• Service Provision - we process data to enable portal use, content delivery, and to provide and maintain our website, ensuring it functions correctly
• User Communication - we respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form and keep you informed about updates to our service
• Experience Personalization - we adapt content to user preferences based on our legitimate interest to improve user experience
• Analytics and Research - we analyze how the site is used for optimization purposes, understanding which pages are most popular and how visitors navigate through our site
• Marketing - we send marketing information only after obtaining your voluntary consent, including newsletters, promotional offers, and updates about our services
• Legal Compliance - we fulfill requirements arising from legal provisions, including tax and accounting requirements, and responding to lawful requests from public authorities
• Security - protecting against fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access to our systems, monitoring for suspicious activity to ensure the safety of all users

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

4. Data Retention Period

We retain your personal data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected:

• Contact Data - 3 years from last contact, unless a longer retention period is required for legal purposes
• Technical and Analytical Data - maximum 25 months, after which aggregated, anonymized data may be retained for statistical purposes
• Marketing Consents - until consent is withdrawn or you unsubscribe from our communications
• Newsletter Subscriptions - we retain your email address until you unsubscribe or request deletion of your data
• Legally Required Data - for the period required by law (e.g. tax regulations - 5 years, or as specified by applicable legislation)
• Cookies - Cookie data retention varies by type. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for up to 24 months

After these periods expire, data is permanently deleted or anonymized in a way that makes person identification impossible. In some cases, we may anonymize your data for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate and modern technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of your personal data and protect it from unauthorized access, loss, destruction, unauthorized modification or disclosure. We use among others:

• SSL/TLS Encryption - all data transmitted between your browser and our server is encrypted using the latest encryption technology, ensuring that any information you submit is transmitted securely
• Server Security - regular software updates, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and 24/7 security monitoring
• Access Control - restricted access to personal data only for authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis, with strict authentication procedures
• Encrypted Backups - regular creation of encrypted backups stored in secure locations to prevent unauthorized access
• Security Audits - periodic reviews, penetration testing, and security assessments to identify and address potential vulnerabilities
• Employee Training - our staff receives regular training on data protection and security best practices
• Incident Response - we have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority where required by law

While we implement these robust security measures, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your personal data to the best of our ability.
