Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information within one month of your request.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Right to Erasure
Also known as the "right to be forgotten," you can request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that we limit the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
Rights Related to Automated Decision Making
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects or significantly affects you. We do not currently use automated decision-making processes.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. If your request is complex or we receive multiple requests, we may extend this period by two months, in which case we will inform you of the extension.
Data Transfers
As we are based in Canada, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in Canada. Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection. We ensure that any transfers of personal data comply with applicable data protection laws.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Appointment request data is retained for a reasonable period to manage bookings and for legitimate business purposes, after which it is securely deleted.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
Complaints
If you believe that we have not complied with your data protection rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EEA member state of your residence, place of work, or where the alleged infringement occurred.
