1. YOUR CANADA PRIVACY RIGHTS UNDER CANADIAN PRIVACY LAWS

Under Canadian privacy laws, You have the following rights with respect to Your Personal Information, subject to limited exceptions set out in such laws:

• Right to information: You have the right to ask Us about Our processing of your Personal Information, including about the categories of persons who have access to Your Personal Information within the Company and the applicable retention period.
  
  
• Right to Access. You have the right to ask Us for access to Your Personal Information. 

• Right to Correction. You have the right to ask Us to rectify any Personal Information that You demonstrate to be incorrect or outdated and to complete any information that You demonstrate to be incomplete. 

• Right to Withdraw Consent. You have the right to withdraw Your consent to Our collection, use, and disclosure of Your Personal Information to the extent permitted by law and Our contractual obligations. Depending on the circumstances, Your withdrawal of consent to the collection, use and disclosure of Your Personal Information may prevent Us from providing You, or continuing to provide You, with some products and services, the ability to access certain products and services, information that may be of value to You. We will act on Your instructions as quickly as possible but there may be certain uses of Your information that We may not be able to stop immediately or that may have to continue after Your consent withdrawal, as required by applicable law. 

• Right to Data Portability. You have the right to ask Us to communicate to You the Personal Information You have provided Us in a structured, commonly used technological format, as well as to a third party upon Your request.

2. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR CANADA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Unless otherwise specified, to exercise any of Your rights described in this Appendix 7, please submit Your request to Us at HELLO@WHIPSHOTS.COM with the subject “Canada Resident Request.”

If We are unable to authenticate Your request using commercially reasonable efforts, We may request additional information reasonably necessary to authenticate You and Your request. If We cannot authenticate You and Your request, We will not be able to grant Your request.

3. CROSS-BORDER TRANSFERS

Some of our Affiliates and Service Providers/Contractors are based outside of Québec and/or Canada, including in the United States. Their processing of your Personal Information will therefore involve a transfer of information outside of Québec and/or Canada. Organizations based outside of Canada may not be subject to privacy laws that provide You with the same rights and protections as in Canada. As a result, when your Personal Information is used or stored in a jurisdiction other than where You are residing, it may be subject to the law of this foreign jurisdiction, including any law permitting or requiring disclosure of the information to the government, government agencies, courts and law enforcement in that jurisdiction.

4. NOTICE FOR MINORS WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF CANADA

This Company Website and other Company Programs are not directed to Canada resident children under the age of 14. We adhere to applicable privacy laws in Canada and will not knowingly register or otherwise collect any Personal Information from any child under the age of 14. We ask that minors under the age of 14 not submit any Personal Information to the Company. If You have reason to believe a child under the age of 14 has provided the Company with any Personal Information, please contact the Company at HELLO@WHIPSHOTS.COM and request that such information be deleted from Our records.

5. PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We make efforts to protect Your Personal Information from improper or unauthorized loss, use, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. To do so, we notably use, amongst other, the following technical, operational, and administrative safeguards:

• Appointment of an individual responsible for the Company’s compliance with applicable privacy laws and the protection of Personal Information (i.e., a Privacy Officer);
• Implementation of technical safeguards such as encryption and fire walls;
• Adoption of an internal security breach response procedure;
• Implementation of an internal procedure regarding the handling of individual privacy rights requests and complaints related to the processing of personal information; and
• Delivery of employee training on the Company’s internal privacy policies and procedures and associated legal requirements.

If You have questions about the security of Your Personal Information, contact the Company at the email or regular mailing address specified in the Contact Us section above.
