How we protect your data
Overview
Cedar Capvale ("we," "our") is committed to safeguarding your personal information. This policy describes what data we gather when you visit Cedar Capvale (the Website), how we use it, when we share it, and the choices available to you. Questions: [email protected].
Information we gather
We may collect technical details (IP address, device and browser type, pages visited, timestamps, error logs) and details you voluntarily provide (name, email, phone number when requesting connection to a third-party trading platform). Some technical data may not personally identify you.
Providing information is optional, though without it we may be unable to connect you with partner platforms or offer certain features. The Website is not intended for anyone under 18; if we discover we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly as required by law.
Why we process data and legal grounds
We handle information to operate the Website, respond to enquiries, connect you with third-party platforms at your request, meet legal obligations, protect our services, improve performance through analytics in our legitimate interests, and defend our legal rights. Depending on the activity, we rely on consent, legitimate interests, and/or legal obligation as applicable under Canadian privacy law.
| Primary purpose | Legal basis | |
| 1 | Pass your details to a third-party platform you request we contact | Consent / pre-contractual steps at your request |
| 2 | Customer support, security, fraud prevention, analytics, and administration | Legitimate interests and/or legal obligation |
Disclosure and cross-border transfers
We may share data with service providers who host, analyse, or support the Website under confidentiality agreements; with third-party trading platforms when you request an introduction; with professional advisers; with authorities when legally required; and with a successor entity in a merger or asset sale. Data may be processed outside your province or territory; where required, we implement appropriate safeguards such as contractual clauses or other mechanisms recognized under PIPEDA and applicable provincial legislation.
Cookies and tracking
We and our partners may use cookies and similar technologies for essential operation, preference storage, analytics, and marketing where permitted. You can manage cookies through browser settings; disabling certain cookies may limit functionality. This service does not respond to Do-Not-Track signals.

Retention, security, and external sites
We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above and to satisfy legal requirements, then delete or anonymize it where feasible. We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, though internet transmission carries inherent risk. Third-party sites we link to maintain their own privacy policies.
Your rights and policy changes
Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. You may also lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or your provincial privacy authority. We may verify your identity before responding. We may update this policy by posting a revised version on the Website.
