If you are

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to
explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your
personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal
bases to process your personal information:

(i.e.

Contract. We may process your personal information when
we believe it is necessary to
fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.

In some exceptional cases, we

- For investigations and fraud
detection and prevention
- For business transactions
provided certain conditions are met
- If it is contained in a
witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess,
process, or settle an insurance claim
- For identifying injured, ill,
or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
- If we have reasonable grounds
to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial
abuse
- If it is reasonable to expect
collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or
the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for
purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a
contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
- If disclosure is required to
comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court
relating to the production of records

personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us .
When we have no ongoing
legitimate business need to process your personal information, we

10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile
applications include a Do-Not-Track ( "DNT" ) feature
or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to
have data about your online browsing activities monitored and
collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and
implementing DNT signals has been finalized . As such,
we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other
mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be
tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we
must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in
a revised version of this privacy notice.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web
browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or
legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.
