We may share your personal information with service providers and/or third parties to help us administer the services on our Platform. For example, we may use a service provider to host surveys, process compensation payments, provide analytics, or perform marketing services. When we disclose personal information to service providers and third parties, we do so under an agreement that they will limit their use of the personal information to perform their function only.
We may share de-identified and/or aggregated information with third parties for various purposes such as to deliver targeted advertisements or provide analytics to interested third parties. We reserve the right to process, sell, trade or rent aggregated or anonymous information that is not associated or linked to your identity.

We seek your consent before collecting, using and disclosing your personal information.
By registering on our Platform, enlisting for our newsletter, or directly communicating with us, you are providing us with consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. At times we may rely on your “implied” consent (i.e. we assume you provide us consent based on your activity). We assume we have your consent to continue to collect, use or disclose your personal information unless you tell us otherwise.
When you complete a survey, we do not disclose your personally identifiable information with third parties.
If a third party requires your personal information, such as when you participate on an Advisory Board, we will notify you of this prior to your participation, including what information will be disclosed to the third party, and seek your explicit consent.
You have the option to withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. For example, you may unsubscribe to our newsletter or other correspondence we send you.
If you choose withhold or withdraw your consent, we may not be able to process your personal information which may affect the way you are able to interact with our Platform. It may also affect your ability to participate in certain activities, such as participate on an Advisory Board.

We are committed to protecting your personal information and have implemented reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access. However, no system is completely secure, therefore, you are advised to take steps to protect your information, such as using strong passwords, and up-to-date antivirus software. We cannot guarantee that your personal information, including your chats and other communication, will remain secure.
Some of our service providers or third parties may access, process or store your personal information outside of Canada. In that case, your personal information will be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction (e.g. United States) is it accessed, processed or stored in and may require disclosure to the government, courts or law enforcement of that jurisdiction.
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which we collected the information, unless we are required or permitted by law to retain it for longer. When your personal information is no longer required, we securely destroy or anonymize the data so that it no longer identifies you.
Upon written request, we will provide you access to the personal information we have about you. We will provide you with access to your personal information, within a reasonable time and at a minimal or no cost in accordance with applicable law.
It is your responsibility to provide us with accurate and up-to-date personal information. If you identify an inaccuracy or incompleteness in your personal information, we will update our records and notify third parties in accordance with applicable laws.
In certain circumstances, we may not be able to provide you with access to your personal information such as if doing so would be extremely impractical, reveal personal information about a third party, or the information is protected by solicitor-client privilege. If you are unsatisfied with our response to your access and/or correction request, you may bring it to the attention of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Privacy Commissioner of your province or territory.
You may send your written request for access to your personal information by contacting us.
We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy. We recommend that you check our Privacy Policy from time to time to keep yourself informed of any changes. If you continue to use our Platform at any time after we posted our revised Privacy Policy, we will assume you agree to the changes made to the Privacy Policy.
