6. Canadian Privacy Law (PIPEDA)

As a business operating in Ontario, Canada, VardedVeins is subject to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada's federal private-sector privacy law. Ontario does not have a substantially similar provincial privacy law for the private sector; therefore, PIPEDA applies in full.

VardedVeins adheres to the 10 Fair Information Principles that form the foundation of PIPEDA:

VardedVeins is responsible for all personal information under its control. We have designated a privacy contact responsible for our compliance with these principles, reachable at support@vardedveins.com.

6.4 Limiting Collection

We collect only the personal information necessary for the identified purposes. We do not collect information indiscriminately.

6.5 Limiting Use, Disclosure & Retention

Personal information is not used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with consent or as required by law. We retain information only as long as necessary to fulfil those purposes, in line with the retention periods stated in Section 5.5.

6.6 Accuracy

We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is accurate, complete, and up to date as required for the purposes for which it is used. You may request correction of inaccurate information by contacting support@vardedveins.com.
