Our disclosure or sharing of your Personal Information may involve transferring your information to our Partners in countries outside of Canada, specifically, Japan where the EPOCH GROUP’s headquarters are located. By using this website, you consent to our transferring your Personal Information to our Partners that are located outside of Canada. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Information transferred outside of the province will have a similar protection as that granted in Canada.

6. INFORMATION SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your Personal Information to our Partners that need the information for the performance of their duties or the carrying out of their mandates or contracts. They will only process your Personal Information on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

We take reasonable steps to protect the security of the information communicated through our website. However, no computer security system is entirely foolproof, and the Internet is not a secure method of transmitting information. As a result, we do not assume any responsibility for the Personal Information you submit to or receive from us through the Internet or for any unauthorized access or use of that information and we cannot and do not guarantee that Personal Information communicated by you to us or sent to you by us will be received or that it will not be altered before or after its transmission to us. You agree to not hold us and our respective past, present and future employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, equity holders, suppliers, vendors, service providers, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of any misappropriation, interception, modification, deletion, destruction or use of Personal Information provided through our website.

7. INFORMATION RETENTION

We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

9. CHANGE IN LEGISLATION

If any provision of this Policy is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be severed from this Policy and the other provisions of this Policy shall not be affected thereby and shall remain valid, legal and enforceable. If a binding change occurs in the applicable laws that is inconsistent with one or more provisions of this Policy, such change will take precedence, but the other provisions of the Policy will not be affected and will remain valid, legal and applicable.

10. JURISDICTION

This Policy and your use of the website are governed by the laws of the province in which you reside and the laws of Canada applicable therein.
