  • Government or law‑enforcement bodies when legally required;
  • Affiliates inside and outside Canada, relying on Canada‑EU adequacy, standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards for cross‑border transfers.

8. Data Retention & Destruction

Personal information is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes set out here, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised. Biometric templates are erased within one year of access termination unless a longer period is mandated by law or dispute‑preservation needs.

  • request access to or correction of your personal information;
  • withdraw consent for non‑essential processing;
  • lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or your local EU supervisory authority;
