Information sharing to service providers or subcontractors is permitted only to the extent necessary to support business operations (for example, customer service or technical service providers).

We may also disclose your personal information:

Insurance and Brokerage Services Disclosure

Because Dundas Life Incorporated operates in connection with insurance brokerage, insurance technology, or related services, personal information you provide through the Website may be collected, used, or shared for the purpose of facilitating insurance quotes, insurance applications, underwriting, policy administration, or related brokerage services. Where applicable, your personal information may be shared with licensed insurance brokers, insurers, underwriting partners, or other service providers involved in the provision of insurance products or services you request. These organizations may collect, use, or disclose your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable regulatory requirements. We take reasonable steps to ensure that such parties are contractually or legally required to protect personal information and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.

Data Processing Roles

Depending on the nature of your interaction with our services, Dundas Life Incorporated may act either as a data controller or as a service provider processing information on behalf of third parties. When we determine the purposes and means of processing personal information, we act as the organization responsible for that personal information under applicable privacy laws. In other circumstances, we may process personal information on behalf of partners, service providers, or customers in accordance with contractual obligations. In all cases, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is processed only for legitimate business purposes and in accordance with applicable privacy legislation.

Referral to Third-Party Service Providers

In certain circumstances, Dundas Life Incorporated may refer users or potential clients to third-party service providers, including licensed insurance brokers, insurers, financial service providers, or other professional advisors. These referrals may occur where we believe another provider is better suited to assist with a particular request or where services are delivered in collaboration with third-party partners.

Where a referral occurs, the third party will be responsible for the services they provide and for their own privacy practices. Any personal information shared in connection with a referral will be limited to what is reasonably necessary to facilitate the requested services and will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws and contractual confidentiality obligations.

TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may transfer personal information that we collect or that you provide as described in this policy to contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business (such as analytics and search engine providers that assist us with Website improvement and optimization) and who are contractually obligated to keep personal information confidential, use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them, and to process the personal information with the same standards set out in this policy.

We may process, store, and transfer your personal information in and to a foreign country, with different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as Canadian law. In these circumstances, the governments, courts, law enforcement, or regulatory agencies of that country may be able to obtain access to your personal information through the laws of the foreign country. Whenever we engage a service provider, we require that its privacy and security standards adhere to this policy and applicable Canadian privacy legislation.

You are welcome to contact us to obtain further information about Company policies regarding service providers outside of Canada. See Contact Information and Challenging Compliance. By submitting your personal information or engaging with the Website, you consent to this transfer, storage, or processing.

CHOICES ABOUT HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can opt out of several third party ad servers’ and networks’ cookies simultaneously by using an opt-out tool created by third party. Opting out of a network does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the network from which you opted out will no longer deliver ads tailored to your web preferences and usage patterns.

DATA SECURITY

The security of your personal information is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

In the event of a breach of security safeguards involving personal information under our control that creates a real risk of significant harm, we will take steps required under applicable privacy laws, including notifying affected individuals and reporting the breach to the appropriate regulatory authorities where required. We will also take reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of the breach and prevent future incidents.

DATA RETENTION

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Under some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent.

Our Website is not intended for children under 18 years of age. No one under age 18 may provide any information to or on the Website.

Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, erased, or made your personal information anonymous in accordance with our record retention obligations and practices.
