Because we serve users globally, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in and processed in countries other than your own, including Canada, the United States, Singapore and Hong Kong. When personal information is transferred to a service provider or affiliate, we use contractual and other measures to ensure a comparable level of protection. While outside your jurisdiction, personal information is subject to the laws of the country in which it is held and may be accessible to the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities of that country.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Identification and transaction records are retained for at least five (5) years after the end of our relationship with you, as required by anti-money laundering laws, or longer where required by law. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it securely.
8. Data Security
We use security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls on a need-to-know basis, multi-factor authentication, logging and monitoring, and staff confidentiality obligations. No system is completely secure; please keep your login credentials confidential and notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account. If a breach of security safeguards creates a real risk of significant harm, we will report it to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and other competent authorities, notify affected individuals, and keep records of breaches, as required by law.
