Privacy Policy
Introduction
At MigraCanada, we are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information for our clients and anyone who interacts with us. This privacy policy is governed by Canadian laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Quebec’s Act respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector (chapter P-39.1).
What is Personal Information?
Personal information refers to any data that identifies an individual, such as name, address, email, phone number, occupation, and any other relevant information (PIPEDA, Section 2).
Collection of Personal Information
We collect personal information when you interact with us through online forms, emails, social media, or any other form of communication. By providing your personal information, you give your implied consent for us to collect and use it in accordance with this policy (PIPEDA, Section 7).
Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
The personal information collected is primarily used to provide immigration advice and consulting services. We do not share your information with third parties, except when necessary for the fulfillment of our services or when required by law. In such cases, we always act in the best interest of our clients (PIPEDA, Section 5).
Protection of Personal Information
At MigraCanada, we treat personal information as confidential and protect it with adequate security measures. We use Canadian servers and perform periodic backups to ensure data is protected against unauthorized access and privacy breaches. We constantly monitor our systems to guarantee information security (PIPEDA, Section 3).
Access to Personal Information
You have the right to access your personal information that we have collected, as well as to review and update it. If you wish to exercise these rights, you can contact us via email or the contact form on our website. If we decline your request, we will provide you with the reasons in accordance with our professional and legal obligations (PIPEDA, Section 8).
Verification and Correction of Data
We are committed to keeping personal information accurate and up-to-date. If you find that the information we hold about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request its correction. We will diligently act to correct any inaccurate information (PIPEDA, Section 9).
Communication of Information via Email
Email communications are protected by keys and verification codes. However, you should be aware that no email communication can be entirely secure. We strive to protect your information, but we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted via email (PIPEDA, Section 10).
Storage and Security of Personal Information
We store personal information on servers located in Canada, which are protected against unauthorized access. We perform periodic backups and apply strict internal procedures to ensure both physical and online access and storage of information (PIPEDA, Section 11).
Destruction of Personal Information
We retain client files for a minimum of seven years, but generally do not destroy them due to the long-term nature of immigration processes. When we destroy a file, we do so securely and record the event (PIPEDA, Section 12).
Disclosure of Personal Information
By law, we may disclose personal information in specific circumstances, such as with client consent, to comply with a legal order, to collect outstanding fees, to defend ourselves in legal proceedings, or to prevent acts of violence when there is an imminent danger (PIPEDA, Section 13).
