We process personal information for purposes that are appropriate to our Chinese-learning business, including:

4. Legal basis for processing

Under Canadian privacy law, we generally rely on consent, contractual necessity, legal obligation, and our legitimate business purposes as applicable and permitted by law.

Where consent is the basis for processing, you may withdraw it at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.

5. Data sharing and third parties

We do not sell personal information. We may disclose personal information to third parties only where necessary and appropriate for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

We require third parties that process personal information on our behalf to use appropriate safeguards and to process personal information only for authorized purposes.

6. Data transfer to third countries

Some of our service providers may store or process personal information outside Canada, including in the United States or other jurisdictions.

Where personal information is transferred outside Canada, we take reasonable steps to ensure that it is protected by contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information and the transfer arrangement.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal, accounting, tax, or reporting requirements, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the nature of our relationship with you. When personal information is no longer required, we securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our retention practices and applicable law.

9. Withdrawal of consent

Where we rely on your consent to collect, use, or disclose personal information, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
