We are dedicated to ensuring the accuracy, confidentiality, and security of your personally identifiable information ("Personal Information"). In line with this commitment, our privacy policy governs how we collect, use, and disclose Personal Information. Our policy aligns with the principles set by the Canadian Standards Association's Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) of Canada.
