2. Scope and Application

This Policy applies if you are a customer who purchases or uses our products and services, a user who visits our websites, uses our mobile applications or creates an account through our websites and mobile apps, or a job applicant who applies for a career opportunity with us. This Policy applies to websites and mobile apps managed by Vosker and on which this Policy appears.

In this Policy, we describe our policies and practices with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information and the measures taken to ensure its continued protection. We also describe the rights and choices you have regarding your privacy.

In some cases, at the time of collection of your personal information, we may provide you with additional information regarding the processing of your personal information. We may also, in certain circumstances, obtain your specific consent to the use or sharing of your personal information, including where required by law.

Information that is aggregated or anonymized and cannot be associated with an identifiable individual is not considered to be personal information.

We may also share your personal information with your consent or in accordance with applicable law.

We may share your personal information as set out below:

Affiliates and Related Entities

Vosker may share personal information with affiliates and related entities for the purposes described in this Policy. This allows each entity to comply with applicable laws, regulations and requirements, and ensures that your information is consistent, accurate and up to date.

9. How do we protect your personal information?

Vosker maintains appropriate policies and practices aimed at safeguarding your personal information. Depending on the volume and sensitivity of the information, the purposes for which it is used and the format in which it is stored, we implement a combination of measures to protect your personal information, including:

A privacy framework governing the protection of personal information through its lifecycle. This framework defines the roles and responsibilities of Vosker personnel, provides a process for dealing with complaints regarding the protection of the information, and addresses the retention and destruction of personal information;
Internal policies and procedures that define the roles and responsibilities of our employees throughout the information life cycle and limits their access to such information on a “need-to-know” basis;
If information is collected or stored in electronic format, technical safeguards such as encryption, firewalls, passwords, antivirus software and similar measures;
A designated Privacy Officer to monitor Vosker’s compliance with applicable privacy laws;
Employee privacy and data security training.

Our goal is to prevent unauthorized access, loss, misuse, sharing or alteration of personal information in our possession. We also use these safeguards when we dispose of or destroy your personal information.

10. How long do we keep your personal information?

We store your personal information for as long as is necessary to provide our services to you, to manage our business operations, and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. Once no longer required, your personal information will be securely destroyed or anonymized in accordance with legal requirements.

11. Cross-Border Transfers of Personal Information

Vosker is based in Canada. Some of our service providers may access, process or store your personal information outside of the country where we are located and where you reside, including in Canada and the United States. As a result, when your personal information is used or stored in a jurisdiction other than where you are residing, it may be subject to the law of this foreign jurisdiction and the jurisdiction where you reside, including any law permitting or requiring disclosure of the information to the government, government agencies, courts and law enforcement in that jurisdiction.

12. Accessing and Rectifying Your Personal Information

You may be entitled to access your personal information and request the rectification information that is inaccurate, incomplete or no longer up to date, subject to limited exceptions set out in applicable laws. If you have an account or are a registered user with our app, you may access your profile and update your personal information. Depending on the jurisdiction where you reside, you may also be entitled to request the rectification of your personal information if our collection, disclosure or retention of such information is not authorized by law.

You have the following rights with respect to your personal information:

Right to access, correct, and delete your personal information: You have the right to request access to the personal information that we hold about you as well as the following information: (i) the source of your personal information; (ii) the purposes, legal basis and methods of processing; and (iii) the entities or categories of entities to which your personal information may be transferred. You also have the right to request that we delete your personal information. We are not required to comply with a request to delete your personal information if the processing of your personal information is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.
Right to restrict the processing of your personal information: You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal information under the following circumstances: (i) you contest the accuracy of the personal information; (ii) the processing is unlawful but you wish to restrict rather than prohibit the processing of your personal information; (iii) the purposes for processing your personal information no longer exist, but you require the personal information for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims; or (iv) you have legitimately objected to the processing of your personal information and the processing is therefore restricted pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your objection. Please note that we may lawfully continue to process your personal information following a request for restriction to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim; to protect the rights of another person; to comply with applicable laws and/or requests made by law enforcement; or if you have provided your consent.
Right to data portability: To the extent that we process your personal information (a) based on your consent or under a contract and (b) through automated means, you have the right to receive such personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it transferred directly to another data controller.
Right to object to the processing of your personal information: You can object to any processing of your personal information which is based on our legitimate interest (or those of a third party) if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh such legitimate interests. If you raise an objection, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests that override your rights and freedoms. We will deliver responses to verifiable consumer requests, free of charge, either through your online account with us, if you have such an account already, or, if you do not have a pre-existing online account, by mail or electronically, at your election. Our goal is to respond to any verifiable consumer request within thirty (30) days of our receipt of such request. We will inform you in writing if we cannot meet that timeline and require a sixty (60) days extension as permitted by law.
Right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority: You have a right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority if you have concerns about how we are processing your personal information. We ask that you please attempt to resolve any issues with us first, although you have a right to contact your supervisory authority at any time.
How to Exercise Your Rights: If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please use the contact information listed in the Contact us section below.
