Data Transfers

As we are based in Canada, your data may be transferred to and processed in Canada. Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate protection for personal data. Where data is transferred to other countries, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Booking information is typically retained for two years after your last appointment. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including:

• Secure data storage and transmission protocols
• Access controls limiting who can view personal data
• Regular review of data processing practices
• Staff training on data protection requirements

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach is likely to result in high risk to your rights, we will also notify you directly.

Complaints

If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EU member state of your residence, place of work, or where the alleged infringement occurred.
