PROCESSING YOUR INFORMATION

At HR Success Centre, we primarily rely on third-party processors to manage your information. For instance, when you make a payment through PayPal or Stripe, they handle your payment details as a third-party processor, allowing us to receive the funds. Consequently, we must share your information with these processors, as we do not have the capacity to perform these functions ourselves. Further details regarding third-party processing are provided below.

From time to time, we may also process your data internally. The legal basis for this internal processing includes your consent, our need to pursue legitimate business interests, and compliance with legal obligations. If we process your information, it is primarily to:

We may also utilize third-party processors and subcontractors based in Canada. We take all reasonable measures to ensure your data is protected during transfer, including engaging reputable hosting services and third-party processors. By using this site and providing your information, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your data in Canada. Please note:

We utilize website hosting services and third-party processors located in Canada, which has received an Adequacy Determination from the European Commission, ensuring that appropriate safeguards are in place for data transferred to this country.

DATA RETENTION

We retain personal data only as long as it serves our legitimate business needs, legal compliance, or until you request its deletion. For instance, we will store certain data indefinitely if it is associated with maintaining your account, until such time as you choose to close it. Specific data collected for a singular purpose, such as fulfilling legal obligations or analyzing trends, is retained only for as long as necessary for that purpose. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted.

We honor requests for data deletion, as detailed below, except where legal obligations require otherwise. Please note that we cannot control the data retention policies of third-party processors. If you need third-party providers to delete data, you will need to contact them directly. We can provide a list of any third parties to whom your data has been shared upon request.

Certain usage data, typically gathered by our analytics or third-party tools to improve website performance, may be retained for internal purposes. Such data is generally stored for shorter durations unless necessary for enhancing our website’s functionality or as legally required.

SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. Our website uses secure payment methods and follows widely recognized data protection standards. However, no online security measures are entirely infallible, and we cannot guarantee total security against unauthorized access or misuse of data.

By using our website, you acknowledge that data transmitted over the internet may be accessible globally, and we cannot prevent misuse by external entities. If a data breach posing a serious risk to your personal information is detected, we will notify you promptly.
