3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary
and we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like
with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or
fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.
​
We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e.,
express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in
situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You
can withdraw your consent at any time.
In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to
process your information without your consent, including, for example:
• If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be
obtained in a timely way
• For investigations and fraud detection and prevention

• If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess,
process, or settle an insurance claim
• For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of
kin
• If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be
victim of financial abuse
• If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise
the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable
for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a
contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
• If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules
of the court relating to the production of records
• If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business,
or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the
information was produced

of time in which users have an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal

further processing until deletion is possible.

we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been
collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly
delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have
collected from children under age 18, please contact us at leanne@blondeivory.ca.

include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your
privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored
and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and
implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to
DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your
choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we
must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of
this privacy notice.
