B.C.’s PIPA requires private-sector organizations to follow privacy rules based on 10 privacy principles, including reasonable purposes, consent, safeguards, openness, access, and complaint rights. Official B.C. guidance also says organizations should have clear, understandable, and readily available privacy policies.
5. Consent
By providing your personal information to us, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of that information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawing consent may affect our ability to provide certain products, services, or experiences to you.
Official B.C. guidance says individuals have the right to know why an organization collects, uses, or discloses their personal information, to know who is responsible for protecting it, to request access and corrections, and to complain about how it is handled.
6. Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to:
- remember preferences
- understand how visitors use the site

We may share your personal information with trusted third parties where reasonably necessary to operate our business, including:

Where we use third-party service providers, we expect them to protect personal information and use it only for authorized purposes.
PIPEDA’s openness principle says organizations should make it easy to understand what personal information they disclose to other organizations or third parties, and why.
8. Storage, Retention, and Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.
Personal information is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and for related legal, accounting, tax, or business requirements. When information is no longer needed, we will securely delete, destroy, erase, or anonymize it as appropriate.
Official B.C. guidance says organizations must protect personal information with appropriate security measures and destroy, erase, or make anonymous personal information they no longer need for the purpose for which it was collected or for a related business or legal reason.
9. International or Cross-Border Processing
Some of our service providers may store or process personal information outside British Columbia or outside Canada. Where this occurs, personal information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada states that PIPEDA applies to businesses in Canada handling personal information that crosses provincial or national borders in the course of commercial activities.

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and request corrections if you believe it is inaccurate or incomplete, subject to any legal exceptions.
