Data retention
In accordance with Canadian Anti-Spam Laws (CASL), which came into effect on July 1, 2014, all commercial email contact needs to be done through an opt-in program within Canada. This means we need to inform potential prospects that we will be sending them useful content — like newsletters and webinars — before sending any Commercial Electronic Mail (CEM). Consent needs to be given explicitly, orally or in writing. By submitting a form on this site, you grant Ecometrix permission to contact you with additional information and educational resources specific to your area of interest. You may unsubscribe at any time.
We store personal data for as long as it is necessary to perform a service that you have requested or for which you have granted your permission, providing that no legal requirements exist to the contrary such as in the case of retention periods required by trade or tax regulations.
