  • Legal and compliance: identity verification, record-keeping, responding to lawful requests, preventing fraud and abuse.

  • Marketing with consent where required: newsletters, service updates, educational content. You may opt out of marketing at any time.

3) Legal Bases and Authority

Because we are Canada-based, we follow Canadian privacy law (including PIPEDA) and applicable provincial rules. Where GDPR applies, we rely on the legal bases described in the GDPR section below.

4) Sharing and Disclosures

We share personal information only as needed and with safeguards in place:

  • Service providers/Processors: secure client portal, email, analytics, scheduling, document signing, payment processing, IT/security.

  • Professional partners (with your authorization): bookkeeping/payroll platforms, legal or financial advisors, tax authorities as required.

  • Legal: to comply with law, court orders, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or reorganization, subject to continued protection of your data.

We do not sell personal information.

5) International Transfers

Some processors may operate outside your province or country. We take steps to ensure appropriate protection and contractual safeguards for international transfers, including when data is accessed from the EEA/UK.

6) Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, to comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce agreements. Typical retention: engagement and tax records are commonly retained for 6–8 years or longer where law or professional standards require.

7) Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards (access controls, encryption in transit and at rest where feasible, least-privilege, logging, backups, and staff training). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we continuously improve our controls.

8) Your Choices and Rights
