Affiliate partners may use their own cookies, tracking technologies or reference identifiers to determine whether a visitor came from this website. Those technologies are governed by the privacy policies and terms of the relevant third-party operator, not by this Privacy Policy.
We do not control how external operators collect or use information once you leave our website. Before creating an account, providing personal information or making a deposit on an external website, you should review that operator's privacy policy and terms carefully.

These providers may process information only as needed to provide services to us and are expected to apply appropriate privacy and security safeguards.
We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, court order, government request or legal process. Disclosure may be necessary to investigate fraud, protect website security, enforce our terms or protect the rights, property or safety of users, partners or the public.
8. International Data Transfers
Our service providers, hosting infrastructure, analytics tools or business partners may be located in Canada, the United States or other countries. As a result, personal information may be processed or stored outside your province, territory or country of residence.
When information is transferred internationally, it may be subject to the laws of the country where it is processed, including lawful access requests from government authorities. We take reasonable steps to work with providers that use appropriate contractual, technical and organisational safeguards to protect information.
9. Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, respond to requests, maintain business records, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations and enforce our agreements.
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, secure hosting, encryption where appropriate, software updates, security monitoring and restricted access to personal information.
However, no website, data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should take reasonable steps to protect your own device, internet connection and account credentials on any third-party websites you use.
