Privacy Policy

1. Personal information we collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

• Contact information: name and email address or other contact details you provide when requesting information or support.
• Business/role details: information about your organization and your role when needed to plan or coordinate audit/assurance documentation support.
• Communications: messages you send to us (for example, through forms or email) and any related records.
• Technical data: basic usage and device information (e.g., IP address, browser type, pages viewed, approximate time of access) collected via cookies or similar technologies.

If our external-audit substantive testing plans involve collecting personal information (e.g., names/emails of contacts), we will follow the accountability, consent, and openness obligations under Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.

2. How we use personal information

• To provide assurance/audit planning documentation support and to coordinate requests.
• To respond to inquiries and manage communications with you.
• To administer and improve the website, including troubleshooting and security monitoring.
• To understand and support analytics and advertising choices where applicable.

3. Legal basis and consent (Canada)

We use and disclose personal information only as appropriate for the purposes described in this policy and as permitted by applicable Canadian law. Where consent is required, we obtain meaningful consent (for example, for optional uses such as certain tracking/advertising). Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it subject to legal and contractual constraints. Withdrawal may affect our ability to provide certain services.

If we send commercial electronic messages (e.g., marketing emails about assurance/compliance services), we will do so only with consent, will include required identification, and will include an unsubscribe mechanism as required by An Act to promote the efficiency and adaptability of the Canadian economy by regulating certain activities that discourage reliance on electronic means of carrying out commercial activities, and to amend the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act, the Competition Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and the Telecommunications Act.

4. Cookies and online tracking

We may use cookies or similar technologies to operate the website and to collect technical and usage data. Where applicable, we provide clear cookie/tracking disclosures and meaningful consent choices for online tracking/advertising use cases, consistent with Online behavioural advertising.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Turning off certain cookies may affect website functionality.

5. Sharing and service providers

We may share personal information with:

• Service providers that perform tasks on our behalf (for example, hosting, analytics, email delivery, and security services).
• Affiliates or contractors involved in providing assurance/audit planning documentation support, where necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

We require service providers to protect personal information and to use it only for authorized purposes.

6. Cross-border transfers

Your personal information may be processed in countries other than Canada, including where our service providers operate. When we transfer personal information across borders, we use contractual and other safeguards designed to protect it and to meet applicable legal requirements.

7. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including for legal, accounting, and recordkeeping requirements, and to support audit/assurance planning documentation where applicable.

8. Your rights and choices

• Access: request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
• Withdraw consent: withdraw consent for certain uses where consent is the legal basis, subject to legal/contractual limitations.
• Objections/limitations: request that we limit use or disclosure where permitted by law.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may be able to raise a complaint with the applicable Canadian privacy authority.

9. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to reduce risk.
