In addition to the specific disclosures of personal data set out in this policy, we may disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person. We may also disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.

 

How long do we retain your personal data?

We will only keep your personal data for a period that is deemed to be necessary in accordance with the purpose for which it was collected or as required by any applicable laws.

 

Amendments to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time by publishing a new version on our website.

You should check this page occasionally to ensure that you are aware of any changes to this policy and how they may affect you.

We may notify you of significant changes to this policy through email or in-product messages.

 

What are your rights relating to the processing and storage of your personal data?

Your principle rights under data protection law are:

• The right to access
• The right to rectification
• The right to erasure
• The right to restrict processing
• The right to object to processing
• The right to complain to a supervisory authority
• The right to withdraw consent

You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal data and, where we do, to have access to the personal data, together with additional information. The additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data.

You have the right to have any inaccurate or incomplete personal data about your rectified.

In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data without undue delay. Those circumstances include situations in which the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected, or you have withdrawn your consent to consent-based processing.

However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary including for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal data for this purpose.

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is:
(a) consent; or
(b) that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract,
and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where the legal basis for processing your data is you consent. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by written notice to us by email to our Support team. You may withdraw consent by changing your preferences using the links at the bottom of all of our email communications.

14.2 You understand and agree that if you use the Services after the date on which the General Terms or Additional Terms have changed, Avenza will treat your use as acceptance of the updated General Terms or Additional Terms.

15. General Legal Terms

15.1 Sometimes when you use the Services, you may (as a result of, or through your use of the Services) use a service or download a piece of software, or purchase goods, which are provided by another person or company. Your use of these other services, software or goods may be subject to separate terms between you and the company or person concerned. If so, the Terms do not affect your legal relationship with these other companies or individuals.

15.2 The Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between you and Avenza and govern your use of the Services (but excluding any services which Avenza may provide to you under a separate written agreement), and completely replace any prior agreements between you and Avenza in relation to the Services.

15.3 You agree that Avenza may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Services.

15.4 You agree that if Avenza does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which Avenza has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Avenza’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Avenza for exercise or enforcement at any time and without restriction.

15.5 If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.
15.6 You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of companies of which Avenza is the parent shall be third party beneficiaries to the Terms and that such other companies shall be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of the Terms which confers a benefit on (or rights in favor of) them. Other than this, no other person or company shall be third party beneficiaries to the Terms.

15.7 The Terms, and your relationship with Avenza under the Terms, shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. You and Avenza agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the Province of Ontario to resolve any legal matter arising from the Terms. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Avenza shall still be permitted to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

15.8 Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree and accept that Avenza may, at any time and at its sole discretion, defer jurisdiction of any legal matter arising from this agreement to any jurisdiction or authority as it sees fit and that you agree to be bound by the decision of such authority.
