5. Consent and Withdrawal of Consent

We obtain consent to collect, use, or disclose personal information except where collection, use, or disclosure without consent is authorized or required by law.

Consent may be express or implied depending on the nature and sensitivity of the information, the purpose of collection, your reasonable expectations, and applicable legal requirements.

By voluntarily submitting information through this Website, you consent to its collection, use, and disclosure for the purposes described at the point of collection and in this policy.

You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal, regulatory, contractual, brokerage, and reasonable notice requirements. Withdrawal may affect our ability to provide certain services or complete a requested transaction.

Withdrawing marketing consent does not prevent necessary service-related, transactional, legal, or regulatory communications.

6. Disclosure and Service Providers

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to provide services, operate the Website, satisfy professional obligations, or comply with law.

Recipients may include:

Commercial electronic communications are intended to comply with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation and will identify the sender and provide a working method to unsubscribe where required.
