1. Scope and application of the Policy

 

In the face of new challenges and dangers relating to the preservation of the security of personal information arising from online business, it is necessary to pay particular attention to the protection of privacy. That's why CanApply takes the privacy of your personal information seriously and is committed to respecting the confidentiality of the information it collects.

 

CanApply is committed to respecting, in accordance with this Policy and applicable laws in force in Canada and Quebec, the obligations concerning the collection and processing of your personal and confidential information obtained in the course of operating its business, so that everyone can benefit from the respect of their privacy.

 

The Policy applies to you in all situations where you interact with CanApply and we collect information about you, including when you visit our Platform, use our services or communicate with us by any means.

 

In doing so, CanApply wishes to ensure the accuracy, security and confidentiality of your personal information, and not to collect, use or disclose your personal information other than in accordance with this Policy and applicable laws.

 

The Policy describes the information that CanApply may collect in the course of its business, in any manner, from you.

 

The Policy also describes, among other things, how CanApply handles, stores and/or destroys your personal information, the purposes for which it is collected, how it is used and the circumstances under which it may be transferred to third parties. The Policy explains your rights with respect to the collection, transfer, use, retention and disclosure of your personal information.

 

Finally, the Policy describes the ways in which you can access, update or correct your personal information, and the choices you have regarding the protection of your privacy.

 

You agree that your personal information collected when filling out any online form for the purpose of contacting us, uploading content to the Platform, or providing other services, will be shared with appropriate and authorized CanApply personnel. CanApply will only disclose to third-party companies that perform activities on our behalf, and whose participation is strictly necessary for the delivery of the Services and/or the maintenance of our business relationship with you, as the case may be, the information necessary for these purposes (the aforementioned third parties may hereinafter be collectively referred to as "Third-Party Service Providers").

 

In some cases, at the time of collection of your personal information, we may provide you with additional information relating to the processing of your personal information. We may also, in some cases, obtain specific consent from you regarding the use or disclosure of your personal information. For example, CanApply may ask you to complete a form consenting to the transfer of your personal information to a Third-Party Service Provider, such as an immigration lawyer.

 

By browsing the Platform, accepting this Policy or providing us with personal information after having had the opportunity to review this Policy or any supplemental notice, you agree that your personal information will be treated in accordance with the Policy and the supplemental notice. 

 

By providing CanApply with your personal information, you authorize CanApply to use and disclose your personal information to Third Party Providers, if any, in connection with the delivery of services, the management of our contractual relationship, our business relationship with you, and in accordance with this Policy and as authorized or required by law, as well as implicitly, if indicated by the circumstances.

 

In addition, CanApply will seek your consent before using your personal information for purposes other than those to which you originally consented under the Policy.

 

We only collect personal information that is reasonably required to provide and manage our services and operations. We collect your personal information in a variety of ways. For example, we collect it directly from you, from third-party Service Providers, or when you visit our Platform.

 

Finally, you may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal and contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Please be aware, however, that without your consent, CanApply may not be able to provide or continue to provide you with some of the services or information that may be useful to you.

 

If you provide CanApply or its Third Party Providers with personal information about another individual or entity, you agree that you have the necessary authorization to do so and/or that you have obtained all necessary consents from such third party to allow us to collect, use and disclose their personal information for the purposes set out in this Policy.

 

2. Privacy officer

(ii) When you give us access to some information on your social medial pages. 

(iii) We might get access to your personal information through referral, affiliates, orrecommendation programs, or through publicly accessible sources inclduning events, fairs, and social media.

 

c. From the Platform

 

Cookies enable us to collect certain information during exchanges between your computer and our server. Cookies are files created by a website to record information about your computer's navigation on the site. They are automatically stored on your electronic devices, allow you to connect to the Platform at a later time and enable CanApply to personalize the Platform.

 

It mainly includes the following information:

 

(i) Domain name; 

(ii) IP address;

(iii) Browsing history;

(iv) Analytics and performance; 

(v) User behavior;

(vi) Advertising/redirection;

(vii) User language; and

(viii) Third-party software served to the Users.

 

Most cookies do not reveal your identity. They are only collected because of the technological requirements inherent in Internet browsing. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but it is generally possible to modify this behavior. However, if you choose to refuse cookies, you may not be able to identify yourself or use certain functions of the Platform.

 

The use of such information allows us to improve the service, personalize your experience and better track your past usage. 

 

In addition to the methods described above, we may also collect information using cookies or similar technologies, particularly during your visits to our Platform. These methods enable us to collect various types of information, including the pages you visit, the e-mails you read and other information.

 

For example:

 

(i) We may use your geographic location to determine the language in which to display the Platform when you visit it.

(ii) Subject to applicable laws, we may use the pages you visit on the Platform to show you personalized advertisements on the External Sites of our Third-Party Service Providers.

 

We use the information thus collected to adapt the Platform to your preferences, to compile statistics about your consultation and use of our Platform and our electronic communications, such as our newsletters, in order to improve them, and to present you with CanApply advertisements with the help of our partners.

 

The cookies we use include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

(iii) Cookies, which are small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit a Web site, so that certain information can be saved between visits, such as your access data or language choice. Cookies allow you to log in quickly when you visit our sites.

(iv) Pixels, which are small image files containing information about you, such as your IP address, that may be downloaded when you visit a Web site or open an e-mail. This enables us to understand your online behavior, monitor the delivery of our e-mails and present you with personalized advertising. These tools also allow our third-party tracking tools to collect information, such as your IP address, and transmit it to us as anonymized aggregate data (preventing us from identifying you). The personal information compiled and presented as aggregate data is the result of a synthesis and does not include any personal identifiers.

 

We use Google Analytics, a service that uses cookies, to analyze your use of our Platform, to generate reports for us on the activities of visitors to the Platform and to offer other services related to the use of the Platform and the Internet. This information is not transmitted to us in a form that allows you to be identified.

 

These Cookies are multiple, some expire when you close your browser and have no further effect while others may be retained. You may deactivate cookies at any time. In this case, CanApply does not guarantee optimal operation of the Platform.

11. Who outside CanApply may have access to your personal information and how do we share it?

 

CanApply staff and, with your written or oral consent and where necessary, our Third Party Service Providers, may have access to your personal information. 

 

We may disclose your personal information to our Third Party Service Providers and other third parties - with your consent or where otherwise permitted by law - for the purposes described in this Policy and in accordance with applicable law. We do not sell your personal information, except in connection with the sale or transfer of part of our business.

 

We do not disclose your personal information to any person or entity outside of CanApply, except as set out below:

 

a. Third-party service providers whose intervention is necessary to provide you with the service.

 

We may disclose personal information to our Third-Party Service Providers. These Third-Party Service Providers help us provide our services, conduct our business, operate our technology systems and applications and infrastructure, and implement our internal procedures and advertising and marketing strategy. For example, they provide us with data hosting, e-mail deployment, marketing, sales and personal information processing or analysis services. We may also subcontract certain services we provide to our customers to third parties.

 

For instance:

 

(i) In order to serve our customers, we may provide an immigration lawyer with their file to accompany the customer through the immigration process;

We may decide to sell or transfer all or part of our business or to a third party, merge with another entity, insure our assets, or enter into any other financing or other strategic corporate transaction (including insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings), restructuring, sale of shares or other change in control of CanApply. 

 

YOU CONSENT TO THE DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WHEN REQUIRED FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH A TRANSACTION.

 

c. Other third parties when required or authorized by certain laws

 

The law permits or requires the collection, use or disclosure of personal information without consent in limited circumstances (for example, to investigate or prevent suspected or actual unlawful activity, including fraud, or to assist law enforcement or government agencies). These circumstances include those where permitted or required by law, and those where it is necessary to do so to protect us or our employees, customers or others. In such circumstances, we will disclose only as much personal information as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is to be disclosed.

 

Please note that under the applicable laws of Quebec and Canada, CanApply may be required to disclose your personal information to authorized persons.

 

For instance: 

 

(i) We may disclose personal information that we hold to protect an individual or group of individuals when there is reasonable cause to believe that there is a serious risk of death or serious bodily harm to the individual or group, such as a disappearance or an act of violence, including a suicide attempt, and the nature of the threat inspires a sense of urgency. The information may then be communicated to the person or persons exposed to this risk, to their representative or to any person likely to come to their aid. Only the information necessary for the purposes of the communication will be communicated;

(ii) We may also communicate information to the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions or to a person or group responsible for preventing, detecting or repressing crime or legal offences when the information is necessary for the purposes of a prosecution for an offence under a law applicable in Quebec.

 

d. Other third parties, with your consent

 

In addition to the purposes described above, we may, with your express or implied consent and in compliance with applicable law, communicate or disclose your personal information to persons or entities outside CanApply.

 

For instance:

 

(i) With your consent or at your express request, we may share your information with your immigration lawyer, among others.

 

12. How long do we keep your personal information?

 

We store your personal information at our offices, with our archive service and on our computer servers. Unless otherwise required by law, we retain personal information only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes for which it was collected. The length of time may vary depending on the nature of the information.

 

13. What are the risks involved in processing your personal information?

 

Given the risks inherent in the use of computer systems, however, we cannot ensure or warrant the security and confidentiality of any information you transmit or provide to us, and you do so at your own risk. If you have reason to believe that personal information has been compromised, please contact us as indicated in Section 2 of the Policy. If a password is used to protect the User's account and personal information, it is the User's responsibility to keep the password confidential. 

 

CanApply undertakes not only to keep a register of confidentiality incidents but also to implement internal practices to limit or prevent the consequences of a confidentiality incident involving personal information.

 

A privacy incident may be: 

 

(i) unauthorized access to personal information; 

(ii) the use of personal information not authorized by law; 

(iii) the unauthorized disclosure of personal information; or  

(iv) the loss of personal information or any other breach in the protection of such information.  

 

In the event of a privacy incident involving your personal information held by CanApply, CanApply will notify you and the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec of any privacy incident that presents a risk of serious harm.

 

14. Is your personal information transferred outside Quebec?  

 

Some of your personal information may be transferred outside Quebec. In this case, the servers of third-party service providers whose intervention is required to provide services are located in Canadian provinces or territories, in USA, and in Germany. 

 

Prior to any transfer of your personal information outside Quebec, CanApply performs a privacy impact assessment specific to the intended transfer. CanApply ensures that the safeguards in place are adequate to protect the personal information being transferred.

 

15. How can you change your choices regarding the protection of your personal information?

 

You can always withdraw your consent for your personal information to be used for purposes other than those that are absolutely necessary to provide our services, without affecting the services you receive from CanApply.

 

For example: You can always opt-out of receiving marketing communications from CanApply.

 

You have various options for making your choices:

a. Indicate your choices when you register or by contacting us directly at any time

 

You can always indicate your choice not to receive marketing messages from CanApply by e-mail by clicking on "unsubscribe" in any e-mail you receive.

 

Please note that even if you have indicated your choice not to receive marketing messages from us, we may still contact you regarding a service in accordance with applicable law (for example, to send you a customer service message). In addition, it may take up to 10 business days to register a change of preference in all our files.

 

b. Change the browser settings on your device

 

We use technologies to enhance your customer experience and present you with offers, including personalized advertising. By means of technologies such as cookies, for example, our Platform recognizes you when you use it or return to it and can thus offer you a seamless experience. You can delete or deactivate some of these technologies at any time using your browser. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use some of the features of our Platform.

 

16. How do we protect and store your personal information?

 

The security of your information is important to us and we are committed to protecting your privacy through a variety of administrative, physical and technical safeguards. We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services to you, to manage our business and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

 

The personal information that CanApply collects is stored in a secure environment. CanApply has adopted appropriate measures to maintain the confidentiality of personal information and to protect it against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification, taking into account, among other things, the sensitivity of the information and the purposes for which it is to be used. In addition, CanApply requires that each employee, agent or representative of CanApply abide by this Policy.

 

a. Safeguards in place

 

To protect your personal information, we employ administrative, technical and physical safeguards. Our goal is to prevent unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure or modification of the personal information in our possession. We ensure that access to your personal information is restricted at all times to those CanApply employees and agents who are authorized by law to have access to it. We also use these safeguards when disposing of or destroying your personal information.

 

CanApply is also committed to maintaining a high level of security by integrating the latest technological innovations to ensure the confidentiality of your transactions in order to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

 

For instance, we use the following measures: 

 

(i) Secure Sockets Layers (SSL);

(ii) Secure access to your premises; 

(iii) Secure access to your servers and computers;

(iv) Firewalls;

(v) Use of password-protected data networks; 

(vi) Confidentiality agreements with your employees;

(vii) Internal privacy policies;

(viii) Regular updating of security measures; or

(ix) Encrypted and secure electronic communications.

 

b. Where we store your personal information

 

We use all reasonable security measures, which may include imposing contractual obligations on our Third Party Service Providers, to protect your personal information wherever it is used or stored.

 

Unless we are legally required or contractually bound to keep your personal information in Canada, it may be transferred outside Canada, as described in Section 13. For example, some of our Third Party Service Providers may access, process or store your personal information outside your province or territory or outside Canada for the purposes of the services they provide to us. In such cases, personal information is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is used or stored, including any laws permitting or requiring disclosure to governmental authorities or agencies, courts and law enforcement authorities in that jurisdiction. CanApply ensures that its Third-Party Service Providers are located in jurisdictions that provide a level of protection for personal information consistent with the laws applicable in Quebec.

 

c. How long we keep your personal information

 

We retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to provide our services to you, to manage our business and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. When we no longer need your personal information, we securely destroy it or make it anonymous (so that it can no longer be used to identify you).

 

d. Destruction of your personal information

 

Personal information is destroyed according to the rules set out in the regulations enacted by the laws applicable in Quebec regarding the management and protection of personal information.

 

In certain circumstances, you have the right to have your personal information deleted without undue delay. These circumstances are as follows: 

 

(i) Personal information is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; 

(ii) You withdraw your consent to processing based on consent; 

(iii) You object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection legislation; 

(iv) Processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes; and 

(v) The personal information has been processed unlawfully. 

 

However, there are exclusions to the right to erasure. General exclusions include where processing is necessary: 

 

(i) For the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information; 

(ii) To comply with a legal obligation; or 

(iii) To establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

 

17. What rights do you have regarding your personal information? 

 

The law gives you various rights in relation to your personal information. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Privacy Officer at the coordinates indicated in section 2 at the beginning of this Policy. 

 

Access: the right to ask whether we hold any personal information about you and, if so, to request access to that personal information. To the best of our ability, we will provide access to information in a timely manner. However, for security reasons, we may need to verify the identity of the requester. 

 

Rectification: the right to request rectification of any incomplete or inaccurate personal information held by us. You might modify anu personal information on our Platform, at any time.

 

Withdrawal of consent: the right to withdraw your consent to the disclosure or use of personal information held by us, subject to applicable legal and contractual restrictions.
