Maximus Cybersecurity Inc. has adopted reasonable security procedures to help protect your personal data. For example, our cloud-based platform is hosted on servers located in Canada, which uses built-in security protections. We use encryption when necessary.
Like most organizations, we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will always be effective. No method of transmitting information over the Internet or of storing information is completely secure. A breach of security safeguards can result in such risks as phishing and identity theft. In such cases, we act promptly to mitigate the risks and to inform you where there is a real risk of significant harm, or as otherwise required by law.
We retain your personal data at our offices and data centres in Canada.
We retain your personal data for as long as required for the purpose for which it was collected, or longer if we are required or permitted to do so under applicable laws.
The law provides you with rights regarding your personal data. These rights may change depending on where you are located, and they may not apply to all types of personal data. Most individuals have the right to access their personal data, the right to withdraw their consent to the use and disclosure of their personal data, and the right to request corrections to their personal data under certain circumstances, such as if the personal data is inaccurate or outdated.
In some cases, withdrawal of your consent may mean that we will no longer be able to provide you with our Services.
