We take reasonable precautions against breaches of our security systems; however, no company can fully eliminate the risks of unauthorized access to your information and no website or platform is completely secure.
  2. Although we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or breaches of our security systems will never occur, we try to minimize these risks by: (1) active monitoring: monitoring access to your PII and PHI through activity logs and regular audits to ensure that no unauthorized access attempts have been made, (2) secure storage: we store your PII and PHI over which we have custody and control in Canada in reputable data centers that are ISO 27001 and ISO Standard 27018:2019 (Code of Practice for personal identifiable information (PII) protection in public clouds acting as PII processors) certified and adhere to global privacy and data protection best practices, (3) network security: we implemented controls to protect against unauthorized access, including segregating our internal systems from our publicly-accessible systems, (4) end-to-end encryption: we encrypt all data transmissions and communications on the Site, WebApp, and Mobile Apps, and our Services from end-to-end using industry-standard transport layer security (“TLS”) or secure socket layer (“SSL”) encryption technology, and (5) training: we implemented policies, procedures that address and train our staff on the handling of PII and PHI.
