If you are a user from Canada, kindly note that we will process information only after getting your consent on processing or using your personal data for a specific purpose or in situations for implied consent. Note that you can withdraw your content at any time.
In some cases, we may have legal permission under applicable law to process your data without consent, such as:
- If the collection is for an individual’s interest and we cannot obtain consent on time.
- If the collection is necessary for assessing, processing, and settling an insurance claim for a witness statement
- If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise data availability and accuracy, and the collection is reasonable for investigating a breach of an agreement or an infringement of the Canadian province or laws.

- If the collection is for sole purposes like art, journalism and literature
- If the data is publicly available, specified by the regulations.
The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is a federal law for protecting privacy. It sets the ground rules for handling users’ personal information during commercial activities. We abide by the fundamental principles of PIPEDA and ensure accountability, identifying purposes, consent, accuracy, safeguards, limiting collection, openness, individual access, limiting use, disclosure, and retention, and challenging compliance.
The Privacy Act (RSC, 1985, c. P-21) governs how the federal government manages the data it collects and the uses of personal information from its employees and the general public. The Act gives an individual inside or outside Canada the right to request data access held by the federal government and request correction. The legislation is presented to protect individuals’ privacy and provide them with the right access to their personal data.
Canada’s Anti-spam Legislation (CASL) is the federal law that handles spam and other electronic threats. It is responsible for investing in false or unsolicited electronic messages, alteration of data transmission, and deceptive marketing practices.
Unregulated data collection or collecting data by violating the applicable laws can bring an individual a hefty penalty of up to CAD 100,000 under PIPEDA and CAD 10,000 under CASL.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, in other words, “Shine the Light” law, permits our users, who are residents of California, to request information from us once a year without any charge. The personal information would be in categories we disclosed to other parties for marketing purposes, and the personal information, like the names and addresses of all the parties with whom we shared data the preceding year. As a California resident, you can place similar requests by sharing your queries with us through our contact information provided below. In case you are below 18 and have availed of our services, you can write to us to remove unwanted data or public posts on the services. Contact our team immediately, and remember to include the email address you used to register and a residential statement suggesting you are a California resident. We assure you that none of your will be publicly displayed on the availed services. However, kindly be aware that data will not be completely removed from our systems for legal, safety and other factors abiding by the law.
Under the California Code of Regulations, a “resident” is:
- Anyone who is in California for the temporary or transitory purpose
- Any individual domiciled in California outside the state for a transitory or temporary purpose. If either of the definitions applies to you, ensure you abide by certain legal rights and obligations related to personal data.
The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights for the protection of personal data, like the following:
- Right to notice: You have the right to get notified before data collection. You also have the right to which categories of information are being collected and processed and for what purpose.
- Right to request: You have the right to ask us to disclose information to you regarding data collection, use, sale, sharing, and disclosure of information for business purposes.
- Right to say no or opt out: You have the right to say no to the sale of personal information. NOTE: WE DO NOT SELL YOUR DATA TO THIRD PARTIES.
- Right to delete: You have the right to request us to delete your personal data. Once you confirm, we will delete your records unless an exceptional situation arises. We will also direct our network providers to do the same.
However, we may deny obliging to your request in case your data is necessary for us for any of the following situations:
- To complete the transaction, provide the requested services, take anticipatory actions for your ongoing professional relationship, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
- To help ensure security and integrity, use your personal information reasonably and proportionately for the necessary purposes.
- To debug products in order to identify and repair unintended errors in the existing functionality
- To exercise free speech to ensure another consumer’s rights in exercising their free speech right or other legal rights
- Engaging in public or peer-reviewed scientific, statistical, or historical research for public benefit while adhering to the applicable ethics and privacy laws when deleting data may seriously impair the achievement of research that you had previously given consent.
- Enabling solely internal uses aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with our team.
- Complying with a legal obligation ensures no one is discriminated against. You have the right to exercise your consumer rights without any discrimination. Moreover, you can exercise your rights in the following situations:
- Denying your services or products
- Providing unacceptable or different quality products or services
- Charging different rates, use of discounts, or imposing penalties
- Suggesting you will receive the products or services at a different level of services
- Correcting inaccurate personal data on request. Once you confirm the request, we will correct your details in our records.
- Limiting the use and disclosure of sensitive information. That said, be aware that we don’t use or disclose any sensitive information to other parties.
As a California resident, you can exercise your CCP right, and to do so, contact us with the details shared in the last section below. In case you are an authorised agent submitting the request on behalf of a consumer, you should have a copy of the written authorisation signed by a particular consumer.
After receiving your request, we will verify your identity to determine if you are the same person on whom we have all the necessary information in our system. To verify, we will ask you certain questions or request you to provide certain information that matches your previous information shared with us. For example, we may ask you for information we already have, like your phone or email address. If required, we may use another verification process to determine your identity or authority to make a request. If you cannot verify the primary identification information, we may ask for more safety and fraud prevention information. We will delete all the additional information after the verification.
Violating the CCPA can bring civil penalties of up to $7,500 for every violation. In case of willful violation, $2,500 per violation, while for advertent violation after notice, 30 days are offered to find a cure. A user can seek statutory damage of $100 and not more than $750 per consumer in every occurrence, or actual damages, whichever is greater, brought by them for violating security breach.
If the processor continues to violate the VCDPA forms after 30 days of the cure period, or if the professor fails to comply with a written statement by the Attorney General, the Attorney General will announce action on behalf of the Commonwealth. S/he will seek an injunction to prevent VCDPA violations and a civil penalty close to $7,500.
According to the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, a violation is an act of deceptive trade practice. Even though the CPA does not have a fixed penalty amount, the Colorado Consumer Protection Act does and stipulates a penalty of $20,000 per violation.
Under UNPA, the Attorney General has enforcement responsibilities, and the entities must be informed in writing of the suspected violations and given 30 days to correct them. They can file a lawsuit for uncured offences and seek damages and civil fines of $7,500 from the consumer for every violation. Even though there’s no private right of action, the local privacy laws are preempted based on stature.
HDCA is intended to deter, prevent, and lessen harmful digital communication, cyberbullying and harassment. Furthermore, it suggests that digital communication should not:
- Disclose sensitive information
- Be obscure or offensive
- Be grossly indecent
- Be used for harassment
- Make false allegations
- Break someone’s confidence
- Encourage someone to send harmful messages deliberately
- Encourage someone to harm someone
- Be used for demeaning others on the basis of colour, race, religion, ethnicity, gender, disability and sexual orientation.
The Act empowers users to take action against the alleged breaches and resolve the issue with the help of a suitable legislative body.
The main intent of UEMA is to identify spam sent from, to, or within New Zealand. This Act allows users to raise complaints against the company sending spam messages. The company can also be fined for spamming with SMS, faxes, email and other instant messages. However, please note that UEMA doesn’t cover the following:
- Telemarketing
- Internet pop-ups
- Warranty information
- Response to a quote
- Confirmation of a previously agreed arrangement
- Employment-related or benefit information
- Services or products related to the previous purchase
- Factual information about an ongoing membership
Consent doesn’t end by clicking “unsubscribe.” A business can use an existing database with previously given consent. However, you can complain if you continue to receive spam despite unsubscribing or not giving consent. In such cases, a business can be fined up to $500,000 for compensation for the losses.
The Privacy Act 2020 aims to promote and protect individual privacy by giving effect to international privacy standards and providing a framework for ensuring security for personal data, including your access to information and practising other rights and interests. There are 13 privacy principles related to data storage, use, collection, and disclosure of information, and an individual’s right to access personal information and request correction.
Penalties in New Zealand for the unregulated collection of personal data are either NZ$10,000, the cost of damages from such a violation, or the blocking of the resource.
The Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 assures to:
- Promote personal information protection processed by different bodies
- Introduce specific conditions for establishing minimum requirements for personal data processing
- Provide for establishing an Information Regulator for exercising certain powers and performing duties in terms of this Act and the Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000
- Provide to issue codes of conduct.
- Provide for people’s rights regarding unsolicited electronic communications and automated decision-making.
- Regulate the flow of personal information across Republic borders for connected matters.
Under South African law, cybercrimes are treated as a criminal offence. The Act mandates everyone to clearly understand the regulations before prosecuting them. Cyber extortion, cyber fraud, malicious communication, and unlawful access to the computer system are some of the cybercrimes listed in this Act.
Furthermore, unregulated collection of personal data that is collected by violating the applicable law can invite the following penalties:
- Fine and/or imprisonment for a maximum term of ten years
- Fine and/or imprisonment for a maximum term of 12 months
The amount of the fine is from EUR 10,000 to EUR 520,000 in the equivalent.
In addition, from February 1st, 2022, data collection can begin only after obtaining the appropriate permission from the owner of such data. Therefore, it is necessary to install a pop-up on the site that will appear when entering from the territory of South Africa, which will request permission to collect and process and only after that let on the site.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not extend our service in Australia

With us, you can withdraw your consent at any time by reaching out to us at Hr.friscon@gmail.com or using the contact details mentioned in the last section of this privacy policy.
Furthermore, you can opt out of marketing and promotional communications by clicking on the UNSUBSCRIBE option or contacting us. You will be immediately removed from the regular marketing list. Nonetheless, we may still contact you if we have to communicate with you regarding your service, administration, user account, and other non-marketing purposes.

Nevertheless, if you wish to do it on your own, you can: Log in to your account > go to account settings > update or change your user details. You can follow similar steps to terminate your account.

As mentioned earlier, we may retain some information for fraud prevention, troubleshooting problems, future investigations, enforcement of our legal terms and/or compliance with applicable legal requirements.
The services linking to third-party services, websites, or applications may contain advertisements from third parties with no affiliation with us and may link to other online platforms. We do not guarantee about the third parties and don’t take liability for any kind of loss or damage caused by using such third-party sources and platforms. Even including a link towards a third-party platform does not imply any endorsement by us. In such cases, we cannot guarantee the privacy and security of your data shared with third parties, including websites, applications, and other sites linked to the services. You are advised to review the policies of third-party platforms and contact them directly in case of confusion.
We may use cookies or relevant tracking technologies, such as web beacons and pixels, to access and store data. Cookies are small data files placed on the computer or mobile when one visits a website. Using cookies and similar technologies, we aim to improve and personalise your user experience, enhance our services, and analyse website performance for marketing activities.
- Essential Cookies: Cookies that are useful for the system’s functioning and improve core functionality, authentication, connection stability, security, and more. You can always block cookies on your system, which will likely affect how the websites function.
- Analytics Cookies: These cookies help you to identify the popular pages and how visitors navigate the site. We use them to calculate visits, check traffic sources, and measure and improve our website’s performance.
- Marketing Cookies: Some third-party service providers and advertising partners manage advertising on other websites. These parties use cookies through our site in order to provide you with advertisements on other websites based on one’s interests and preferences.

We store your data as long as necessary for purposes we have discussed in this privacy policy unless a longer retention period is permitted by law, like tax, accounting, and applicable legalities. When we no longer have legitimate requirements for your data, we either anonymise or delete information. In case of backup archives, we will securely store your data and isolate it from further processing until it is deleted completely.
We have taken all the necessary measures and implemented the latest technological and organisational security norms and measures to ensure top-notch data security while processing. However, despite all our sincere effort to protect your personal information, no storage technology can guarantee complete security, so we won’t make unrealistic promises stating no hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised parties can break into our security system to collect, steal, access, modify your data. We do our best to protect your information from unsafe sources. Still, transmitting your data to and from our services should be at your own risk. You should only access our services and products within a safe environment.
We do not knowingly collect information or market our products and services to children under 18. When you use our services or products, we assume that you are 18 years of age or a guardian of a minor and consent to use our services. If we learn that a user is less than 18, the account is immediately deactivated, and we take the necessary measures to delete their personal data from our systems. If you know someone below 18 availing of our services or products, please notify us at Hr.friscon@gmail.com. We will take instant action.
Countless web browsers and many mobile operating systems and applications include a Do-not-track (DNT) feature in the system so the user can activate the signal according to their preference and not worry about being monitored or data processing. However, no standard technology has been finalised for recognising and implementing DNT signals on a larger scale. Due to this, we do not respond to DNT browser signals or other mechanisms that automatically communicate your preference. Despite so, if we adopt a standard for online tracking in the future, we will inform you about the practice and include it in our revised version of our privacy policy.
We process your personal information both within and outside the country. Each country has different data processing laws, and we ensure we abide by legal measures to assure high privacy compliance.
We will provide you with the necessary information and take action on your request related to your rights within one month of receiving the request. The duration is likely to increase by 15 more days in case of an overwhelming number of requests, complicated requests, or requests that require extensive action. Regardless, we will inform you beforehand of such an extension within one month of receiving the request and the reason for such delay.
In special instances, like getting customer support, our support team may request your account access. In such circumstances, they will be able to see your personal data in your account. Please note that we always take users’ permission before accessing their accounts. However, if you don’t permit access, it will delay the process and affect the customer support provisions.
Your providing personal data is entirely voluntary, meaning there’s no obligation. Yet, personal information is necessary for creating a user account and availing of our services or using our products. If you refuse you provide information, you will be less likely to get access to all our service features.
In case of a data breach, we will keep you informed. We will notify the respective data protection agency without delay to minimise the possibility of high violations of your rights and data safety. We take the best measures to avert such risks.
Please note this policy is subject to change with the change of law. We update our Privacy Policy with regular technological updates. You will know our policy is updated with the “Revised” date listed at the top. In case of material changes in our policy, we will inform you with direct notifications. Thus, to continue to use our services or products, we encourage you to check this section frequently to stay updated with the latest changes to ensure high data security.
