• Comply with legal obligations, including those outlined in Section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which states:
"In fostering the underlying values of dignity, integrity, and autonomy, it is fitting that section 8 of the Charter should seek to protect a biographical core of personal information which individuals in a free and democratic society would wish to maintain and control from dissemination to the state."
• Ensure compliance with relevant Criminal Code provisions regarding private communications and unauthorized data interception, including:
Criminal Code, Part VI – Invasion of Privacy, Section 183:"Private communication means any oral communication, or any telecommunication, that is made by an originator who is in Canada or is intended by the originator to be received by a person who is in Canada and that is made under circumstances in which it is reasonable for the originator to expect that it will not be intercepted by any person other than the person intended by the originator to receive it." Criminal Code, Section 184 – Interception of Communications: "Where a private communication is originated by more than one person or is intended by the originator thereof to be received by more than one person, a consent to the interception thereof by any one of those persons is sufficient consent for the purposes of any provision of this Part."
Sharing of Information
We do not sell or rent Your personal information. However, we may share Your information with:

• Legal Compliance: When required by law or to protect our rights, including cases related to search and seizure under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

We implement reasonable security measures to protect Your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We encourage You to take precautions, such as keeping Your login credentials confidential.

• Control metadata collection where legally possible. As Section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms affirms:
"Privacy as anonymity permits individuals to act in public places but to preserve freedom from identification and surveillance. Because the Internet has exponentially increased both the quality and quantity of information that is stored about Internet users, and because users cannot fully control or even be fully aware of who may observe a pattern of online activity, it is by remaining anonymous that the user can in large measure be assured that the activity remains private."
