COOKIES AND ANALYTICS

The website may use cookies and similar technologies required for basic functionality, security, traffic measurement and website analytics.

Cookies are small files placed on your device by a website or its service providers. They may help remember preferences, protect forms from spam and provide aggregated information about how visitors use the website.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings and through any cookie-preference tools made available on the website. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features operate.

We use third-party service providers to operate the website and communicate with visitors. These may include:

• GoDaddy, which hosts and provides the website platform and traffic-measurement tools
• Microsoft 365, which provides our business email service
• Google reCAPTCHA, which helps protect contact forms from spam and automated abuse

Google reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

These providers may process or store information outside Canada, including in the United States. When information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement agencies or government authorities under that jurisdiction’s laws.

Service providers receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their functions.

RETENTION AND SECURITY

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to enquiries, maintain appropriate business records and satisfy legal or contractual requirements.

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or disclosure. However, no website, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
