This policy is intended to align with applicable Canadian privacy laws, including federal privacy principles and, where applicable, British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act.

3. Consent

By using our website, submitting information, or subscribing to our newsletter, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada's meaningful consent guidance emphasizes that organizations should explain what personal information is collected, why it is collected, who it is shared with, and the risks or consequences of collection in clear language.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. If you withdraw consent, we may no longer be able to provide certain services, such as newsletters or account features.

4. Newsletters and Email Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we may use your email address to send you updates, articles, market commentary, website announcements, or other communications.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us directly.

If our emails are considered commercial electronic messages, CASL may require consent, sender identification, and an unsubscribe mechanism. The CRTC states that commercial electronic messages must include an unsubscribe mechanism, such as a clear link in an email.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, measure traffic, improve content, and support analytics or advertising.

Please see our Cookie Policy for more information.

6. Sharing Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share personal information with trusted service providers who help us operate the website, including:

• website hosting providers;
• analytics providers;

These service providers may process information on our behalf and may be located outside Canada. If personal information is processed or stored outside Canada, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.

7. Third-Party Websites and Embedded Content

Our website may include links to third-party websites or embedded content, such as videos, social media posts, charts, images, or company materials.

Third-party websites and platforms have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

8. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

For example, we may retain newsletter subscription information until you unsubscribe, and we may retain correspondence for business or legal recordkeeping purposes.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. However, no website, system, or electronic transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

• request access to your personal information;
