We may collaborate with local, national, or international law enforcement or other authorities in the investigation of unlawful activities. If such an investigation requires disclosure of personal data kept in our records, we may be required by law to cooperate. We also reserve the right to report improper or unlawful user activities on our site, which may require the disclosure of personal data relating to those individuals conducting such improper or unlawful activities.

Where do we store your personal data?

Note that some of our third party service providers are partially or fully located outside of Canada. As a result, your personal information may be stored and processed outside of Canada, and may be subject to the laws and access by government or regulatory organizations outside of Canada.

For example, the personal data we collect is stored on cloud servers hosted with Amazon Web Services and Shopify and located in the United States. The transfer to the United States is made under the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to protect personal data transferred outside of Europe. In addition, these cloud service providers are certified under the ISO Standards and offer the highest security safeguards. Please note that when your personal data is transferred to another country, they becomes subject to the laws of that country.

Before we disclose your personal information, we implement safeguards. We carry out a risk analysis to assess all the factors that may impact your privacy and the protection your information will receive abroad. We also sign a contract or agreement that includes appropriate security measures for the information communicated.

How do we secure your personal data?

We limit access to your personal information

Only personnel who need to process your personal information in order to perform their duties have access to it. These persons only have access to the information they need to fulfil their tasks.

We implement robust security measures

We have implemented several types of measures to protect your personal information against loss, theft and unauthorized access, use or disclosure. These include:

• Physical measures, such as locked facilities
• Technological measures, such as the use of secure servers, encryption of information transmitted during the order process, firewalls and authentication measures that comply with our industry standards. Encryption protects information, such as your credit card number, and billing and shipping information by scrambling it before it is sent from your computer. Only once we receive your information is it decoded, and we make all reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our own systems.
• Organizational measures, such as the adoption of an information security policy.

 

How long do we keep your personal data?

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, for as long as we have a business or legal reason to do so, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. 

Even if you no longer have ties with us, we must retain your personal information for a certain period of time in order to meet our obligations or in exceptional circumstances, such as in the event of litigation. As long as we retain your personal information, we will continue to protect it and ensure its confidentiality.

What are your rights with respect to your personal data?

We strive to ensure that any personal data we retain and use is as accurate, complete and up-to-date as necessary to provide you our services. These are your rights with respect to the personal data we collect and use about you: 

• Access. You have the right to access and obtain a copy of any of your personal data that we collect and use about you. 
• Rectification. You may request that we correct any inaccurate, outdated or incomplete data we may have about you. The membership information you previously provided to Altitude Sports may be updated online at www.thelasthunt.com, or by calling our customer service.
