- Website and device information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring URLs, approximate location derived from IP address, timestamps, and similar technical data.

We may also receive information from third-party services you choose to use to interact with us, such as a scheduling platform, payment processor, email provider, social media platform, or referral source.
3. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to:
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website, resources, and services.
- Respond to inquiries and communicate with prospective clients, clients, partners, and website visitors.
- Schedule and conduct calls, consultations, workshops, and client engagements.
- Deliver purchased services, diagnostics, reports, recommendations, resources, and other requested materials.
- Process transactions, invoices, payments, and related administrative records.
- Send newsletters, insights, invitations, educational content, and offers when we have an appropriate basis to do so, including consent where required.
- Understand website usage, measure content and campaign performance, and improve user experience.
- Create or measure advertising and retargeting audiences where those technologies are enabled and where required consent has been obtained.
- Protect against fraud, misuse, security incidents, unauthorized activity, or legal claims.
- Comply with legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, contractual, or professional obligations.
We will not use personal information for a materially different purpose without an appropriate legal basis and, where required, fresh consent.
4. Consent and Marketing Communications
Where required, we obtain meaningful consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information. The form of consent may vary depending on the sensitivity of the information and the context.
If you subscribe to our newsletter or other promotional communications, you may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us. We will process unsubscribe requests in accordance with applicable law. Transactional or service-related communications may still be sent when necessary to provide a service you requested or to administer an existing relationship.
5. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies. These technologies can help the website function, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site, measure performance, and, where enabled, support advertising or retargeting.
We generally group these technologies into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary technologies, which support core website functions, security, and requested services.
- Analytics technologies, which help us understand traffic, usage patterns, and website performance.
- Marketing technologies, which may help measure campaigns, build audiences, or show relevant advertising.
Where required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be used only after you make a choice through our consent mechanism. You can also adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, although some website features may not function properly as a result.
6. Third-Party Service Providers
We may use carefully selected third-party providers to help operate our business. These providers may process personal information on our behalf or receive information necessary to perform their services. Categories may include:
- Website hosting, domain, security, and content-delivery providers.
- Scheduling and calendar providers.
- Email marketing, CRM, and communication providers.
- Analytics providers.
- Advertising and social media platforms.
- Payment processors and accounting providers.
- Cloud storage, document, productivity, and video-conferencing providers.
- Professional advisers, contractors, or service partners where reasonably necessary.
We require service providers to use information only for appropriate purposes and to protect it using reasonable safeguards. Their own privacy policies may also apply when you interact directly with their services.
7. When We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information:
- To service providers described above, only as reasonably necessary for them to provide services to us.
- With your direction or consent.
- To comply with a law, court order, regulatory requirement, lawful request, or legal process.
- To protect our rights, safety, property, users, clients, or the public, where lawful and appropriate.
- In connection with a potential or completed business transaction, such as a merger, sale, financing, reorganization, or transfer of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal safeguards.
We do not sell our email list or personal information for money. We do not allow unrelated third parties to use our email list for their own marketing. If advertising technologies are enabled, limited online identifiers or activity data may be disclosed to analytics or advertising providers as described in this policy and subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements.
8. International Processing and Transfers
Some of our service providers may store or process information outside your province, territory, or country, including in the United States or other jurisdictions. As a result, personal information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions and may be accessible to courts, law enforcement, or national-security authorities where permitted by local law.
We remain responsible for personal information under our control and use contractual or other reasonable measures to require service providers to provide an appropriate level of protection.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to maintain appropriate business and consent records, to complete client work, and to meet legal, tax, accounting, security, or dispute-resolution requirements. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.
10. Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards that are reasonable in light of the sensitivity and nature of the information we handle. These may include access controls, secure service providers, password protection, multi-factor authentication where available, software updates, and other security practices.
No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. If a breach occurs, we will assess and respond to it and provide legally required notifications or reports where applicable.
11. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have rights relating to your personal information. These may include the right to:

12. Additional Rights for Individuals in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom
If European or United Kingdom data-protection law applies to our processing of your personal information, our legal bases may include your consent, performance of a contract or steps requested before entering a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests where those interests are not overridden by your rights.

13. Third-Party Links and Social Platforms
Our website may link to third-party websites, social media platforms, embedded content, or external services. We do not control their privacy practices. If you follow a third-party link or interact with an embedded service, review that provider’s privacy policy and settings.
14. Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are intended for businesses and adults and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, technology, services, or legal obligations. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. If a change materially reduces your privacy rights or changes how we use information in a way that requires consent, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent where required.
16. Questions, Complaints, and Regulatory Contact
Please contact our Privacy Officer first if you have a question, concern, or complaint about our privacy practices. We will review and respond in a reasonable and timely manner.
If your concern is not resolved and Canadian federal privacy law applies, you may also have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
