4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy legislation, we rely on the following grounds for collecting, using, and disclosing your personal information:

• Express consent: By submitting your application, you expressly consent to the collection and use of your personal information as described in this policy.
• Implied consent: In certain circumstances, your consent may be implied from your actions, such as providing contact information with a clear expectation of follow-up.
• Contractual necessity: Where you engage our services, processing your information is necessary to fulfil our obligations under our Service Agreement.
• Legal obligation: Where we are required to collect or disclose information by applicable Canadian or U.S. law.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal and contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawal of consent may affect our ability to provide services to you.

5. How We Store and Protect Your Data

We implement reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal, or destruction.

Application submissions are received via Web3Forms, a third-party form submission service. Submitted data is subsequently stored in secure internal project folders. Client communications and project files are managed through our internal tools.

Our safeguards include:

• Restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis
• Use of third-party platforms with their own security standards and policies
• Secure communication practices for transmitting sensitive information

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to treating your data responsibly and reporting any material breach in accordance with applicable law.

6. Cross-Border Data Transfers

As our operating entity is a Wyoming limited liability company and we use U.S.-based service providers, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States.

By submitting your information through our website, you acknowledge and consent to this transfer. We take steps to ensure that any third-party service providers outside Canada provide a comparable level of protection to your personal information.

Please note that once your information is transferred to the United States, it may be subject to access by U.S. governmental authorities under applicable U.S. laws. Canadian privacy legislation such as PIPEDA may not apply to U.S.-based recipients of your data, and you may have limited recourse under Canadian law with respect to that handling.

7. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We work with a small number of trusted third-party service providers (such as form submission tools, file storage, and communication platforms) who may process your data on our behalf as our agents. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose your information where required by law, court order, or a regulatory authority in Canada or the United States.
• Business operations: In the course of delivering your project, certain personal information may be shared with registered agents, government agencies (such as provincial registries or the Canada Revenue Agency), banking institutions, or platform providers, strictly as necessary to complete your business setup. This is done as part of the services you have engaged us to provide and with your knowledge.

In all cases, we disclose only the minimum information necessary for the specific purpose.
