with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or
fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate
business interests.
If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain
the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As
such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission
(i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Learn more about withdrawing your
consent.
Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when
we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including
providing our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with

interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms.

rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are

express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in
situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You
can withdraw your consent at any time.
In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to

If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be
obtained in a timely way

assess, process, or settle an insurance claim
For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next
of kin
If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be
victim of financial abuse
If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise
the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is
reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a
contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or
rules of the court relating to the production of records If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business,
or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the
information was produced

implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond
