Information Sharing and Disclosure

We don't sell your personal information. Period. We may share information only in specific circumstances that directly relate to providing you with financial services or when required by Canadian law.

Service Providers: We work with trusted partners who help us deliver our services, such as email platforms, website hosting, and educational content providers. These partners can only use your information to help us serve you better.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by Canadian federal or provincial law, court orders, or regulatory authorities such as provincial securities commissions.

Business Transfers: In the unlikely event Zyntex merges with another company or transfers ownership, your information would be part of that transition, but the new entity would be bound by this privacy policy.

Your Privacy Rights Under Canadian Law

Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and provincial privacy legislation, you have important rights regarding your personal information.

Data Security Measures

We protect your information using multiple layers of security appropriate for the sensitivity of financial data. Our approach combines technical safeguards, administrative controls, and physical security measures.

Encryption

All data transmission uses TLS encryption, and sensitive information is encrypted at rest using industry-standard protocols.

Access Controls

Only authorized team members can access your information, and all access is logged and monitored.

Regular Updates

We continuously update our security measures and conduct regular security assessments to protect against new threats.

Staff Training

Our team receives ongoing privacy and security training to handle your information appropriately.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide services, meet legal requirements, or resolve disputes. Different types of information have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information. If you request deletion of your information before the retention period ends, we'll comply unless we're legally required to keep it.

Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience and understand how you use our services. Most of these are essential for the website to function properly.

Essential Cookies: These ensure our website works correctly and securely. They remember your preferences and keep you logged in during your session.

Analytics Cookies: We use these to understand which content is most helpful to visitors and how we can improve our educational resources.

Communication Cookies: These help us personalize your experience and remember your communication preferences.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling some cookies may affect website functionality. We don't use cookies for advertising or tracking across other websites.

International Data Transfers

We primarily store and process your information within Canada. However, some of our service providers may store data in other countries with strong privacy protections, including the United States and European Union.

When we transfer information outside Canada, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

  • Contractual commitments requiring the same level of protection as Canadian law
  • Transfers only to countries with adequate privacy protection
  • Regular audits of international service providers
  • Data processing agreements that limit how your information can be used

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We review and update this privacy policy regularly to reflect changes in our practices, technology, and legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through email or a prominent notice on our website.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy. The "Effective Date" at the top of this policy indicates when it was last updated.

If you have questions about any changes, our Privacy Officer is available to explain how updates might affect you.
