Overview

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union regulation that governs how personal data of individuals within the European Economic Area (EEA) must be handled. While prairie-jaguar is based in Canada, we are committed to respecting the privacy rights of all our visitors and clients, including those protected under GDPR.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following legal bases:

• Consent: When you voluntarily provide information through our forms or agree to receive communications from us.
• Contract: When processing is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you as a client.
• Legitimate Interests: When processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as improving our services and website functionality, provided these interests do not override your fundamental rights.
• Legal Obligation: When processing is required to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

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, along with information about how we process it.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain circumstances.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, 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 based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month of receipt. If your request is complex or we receive multiple requests, we may extend this period by two additional months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it.

International Data Transfers

As prairie-jaguar is based in Canada, personal data collected from EEA residents may be transferred to and processed in Canada. Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data, which means your data benefits from appropriate safeguards when transferred to us.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Specific retention periods vary based on the type of data and our legal obligations. When personal data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Complaints

If you believe we have not complied with your data protection rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. However, we encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly.

Updates to This Information

We may update this GDPR information from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our data protection practices.
