VI. HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION

We implement administrative, technical, and physical security measures such as encryption in transit, access controls, and firewalls to protect your information from unauthorized access. However, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or that Personal Information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. By using our Service, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

VII. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Brand Vision Marketing Inc. is headquartered in Canada and operates internationally. Your Personal Information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries other than the country in which you reside, including Canada, the United States, the European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom, where our service providers and subprocessors are located. Privacy laws in these countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where Personal Information is transferred out of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, and equivalent mechanisms recognized under Swiss law. Where Personal Information is transferred outside of Canada, we ensure a comparable level of protection through contractual and organizational measures consistent with applicable Canadian privacy law, including Quebec's Law 25. You may request a copy of the relevant safeguards by contacting info@brandvm.com.

VIII. YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

You have the right at any time to prevent us from contacting you for marketing purposes. When we send a promotional communication, you can opt-out by clicking the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the email or by emailing us directly at info@brandvm.com.

Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, including improving our Services, securing our systems, and direct marketing to existing clients, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligations.

You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
