Security of Your Personal Information
We use administrative, technical and physical measures to safeguard your personal information against unauthorized access, unauthorized disclosure, theft and misuse. This includes limiting access of employees to, and the use of, your personal information through the use of passwords and graduated levels of clearance.
We do not publish all of our security measures online because this may reduce their effectiveness. We educate our employees with respect to their obligations to protect your personal information and we use contractual and other means to manage our third-party service providers so that your personal information has comparable protections when it is in their custody.
Although we take precautions against possible breaches of our security systems, no company can fully eliminate the risks of unauthorized access to your personal information.

We use third parties who assist us in our operations, including cloud-based service providers located in Canada, the United States and other regions who provide us with cloud computing infrastructure, customer relationship management systems, customer feedback, cloud-based ticket systems and cloud-based email/push notification systems.
When We May Disclose Your Personal Information

We may transfer any information we have about you in connection with a merger or sale (including transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings) involving all or part of our business or as part of a corporate reorganization or stock sale or other change in corporate control.
Subject to applicable law, we will disclose personal information without your knowledge or consent if we receive an order, subpoena, warrant or other legal requirement issued by a court, tribunal, regulator or other person with jurisdiction to compel disclosure of your personal information.
