Effective Date: 1 February, 2023
At PYPR, we are committed to maintaining the accuracy,
confidentiality and security of your personal information. We have developed
this Privacy Policy to describe our specific privacy policies and
practices and how we collect, use and disclose the personal information of
those individuals who visit our website including member-section thereof (“PYPR Website”).
Privacy Policy Effective for Canada
It is PYPR’s
policy to comply with the privacy legislation within each
jurisdiction in which we operate. Sometimes the privacy legislation and/or
an individual’s right
to privacy are different from one jurisdiction to another. This Privacy
Policy covers only those activities that are subject to the provisions of Canada’s federal and provincial privacy laws, as
applicable.
This Privacy Policy has a limited scope and application.
Consequently, the rights and obligations contained in this Privacy Policy
may not be available to all individuals or in all jurisdictions. For
information about how we comply with California Consumer Privacy Act , please

applies to you, please contact our Privacy Officer for more information.
Your Privacy Rights
All businesses engaged in commercial activities in Canada must
comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act,
S.C. 2000, c. 5 (the “Act”),
and the Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the protection of
personal information, which it incorporates. These obligations extend to PYPR
and we take these obligations seriously.
The Act also gives you rights concerning the privacy of your
personal information.
PYPR is responsible for the personal information we collect and
hold. To ensure this accountability, we have developed this policy, trained our
team about our policies and practices, and conducted a board level risk
assessment.
What Is Personal Information?
Personal information is any information that identifies you, or
by which your identity could be deduced. We collect and use your personal
information in order to provide you with services. PYPR restricts the
collection of personal information only to that information that is necessary
for the purposes noted above. We are committed to collecting personal
information in a fair, open and lawful manner. Wherever possible, we collect
your personal information directly from you at the start of an engagement and
in the course of our services.
What Personal Information Do We Collect?
You can visit our Website without telling us who you are or
revealing any information about yourself, including your email address. Our web
server may collect information related to your visit to our website, including:
the IP address and domain used to access our website; the type and version of
your browser; the website you came from to access our website; the page you

what country you are from. We use this information to monitor our website’s performance (e.g., number of visits, average time spent, page views) and for
our business purposes such as working to continually upgrade our website.
In general, we will ask you to specifically consent if we
collect, use or disclose your personal information. Sometimes, your consent may
be implied through your conduct with us.
Your provision of Personal Information to PYPR means that you
agree and consent that we may collect, use and disclose your Personal
Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with
these terms, you are requested not to provide any Personal Information to PYPR.
Unfortunately, certain services can only be offered if you provide Personal
Information to PYPR. Consequently, if you choose not provide us with any
required Personal Information, PYPR may not be able to offer you those
services.
In addition, we collect the personal information that you submit
to our Website, such as your name, address and any other contact or other
information that you choose to provide by:

is defined in our Terms of Use;

term is defined, from time to time, in a PYPR-Client Agreement;
Where you request information from us, we may use the email
address that you provide to send you information about offers on products and
services that we believe may be of interest to you. If you have asked us to put
you on an email mailing list to provide you with certain information on a
regular basis, or if we send you information about our offers on products and
services by email, you may ask us to remove you from the list at any time
(using the unsubscribe instructions provided with each email and on the site
where you signed up).
How Do We Use Cookies?
When you visit the website, we place a “cookie” on the hard drive
of your computer to track your visit. A cookie is a small data file that is
transferred to your hard drive through your web browser that can only be read
by the website that placed the cookie on your hard drive. The cookie acts as an
identification card and allows our website to identify you and to record your
passwords and preferences. The cookie allows us to track your visit to the
website so that we can better understand your use of our website so that we can
customize and tailor the website to better meet your needs.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies. However, on most web
browsers you may change this setting to have your web browser either: (1)
notify you prior to a website placing a cookie on your hard drive so that you
can decide whether or not to accept the cookie; or (2) automatically prevent
the placing of a cookie on your hard drive. It should be noted that if cookies
are not accepted, you will not be able to access a number of web pages found on
the website.
What About Links to Other Websites?
Our website may contain links to other websites that may be
subject to less stringent privacy standards. We cannot assume any
responsibility for the privacy practices, policies or actions of the
third parties that operate these websites. PYPR is not responsible for how any
third party or third parties collect, use or disclose your personal
information. You should review the privacy policies of these websites
before providing them with personal information.
Why Do We Collect, Use and Disclose Personal Information?
The personal information collected is used and disclosed for our
business purposes, including for those purposes explained in this policy.
Your personal information may be shared with our employees,
contractors, consultants, affiliates and other parties who require such
information to assist us with establishing, maintaining and managing our
relationship with you. In addition, personal information may be disclosed or
transferred to another party in the event of a change in ownership of, or a
grant of a security interest in, all or a part of PYPR.
PYPR stores and maintains your personal information in conformity
with the requirements of the Act as well as the model code for the protection
of personal information created and approved by the Canadian Standards
Association.
We may disclose your personal information under certain
circumstances, such as:
We may collect, use or disclose your personal information without
your knowledge or consent where we are permitted or required by applicable law
or regulatory requirements to do so.
Retention of Personal Information
PYPR keeps Personal Information only as long as it is required
for the reasons it was collected. The length of time we retain information
varies, depending on the service and the nature of the information. This period
may extend beyond the end of your relationship with us, but it will be only for
so long as it is necessary for us to have sufficient information to respond to
any issues that may arise at a later date.
When your Personal Information is no longer required for legally
authorized purposes, we will use appropriate procedures to destroy, delete,
erase or convert it into an anonymous form.
Our firm has developed and implemented security safeguards
appropriate to the sensitivity of the Personal Information kept by us. We take
all reasonable precautions to ensure that your Personal Information is kept
safe from loss, unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. Among the steps
taken to protect your information are:
We ensure that any of our employees and who deal with Personal
Information are properly trained and are aware of the necessary and appropriate
measures required to protect Personal Information. PYPR makes no guarantee with
regards to the use of Personal Information by any service provider, such as an
accountant, that you may choose to engage through the Website.

collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as explained in
this Privacy Policy.
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time, subject to
legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice, by contacting our Privacy
Officer using the contact information set out below. In some circumstances, a
change in or withdrawal of consent may severely limit our ability to provide
products or services to, or acquire products or services from, you. All
communications with respect to such withdrawal or variation of consent should
be in writing and addressed to our Privacy Officer.
How Is Your Personal Information Protected?
PYPR endeavours to maintain physical, technical and
procedural safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal
information in question. These safeguards are designed to prevent your personal
information from loss and unauthorized access, copying, use, modification or
disclosure.

guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while this website strives to
protect your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once this
website receives your transmission, we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
its security on our systems.

Interpretation of this Privacy Policy

individual any rights, or impose upon PYPR any obligations outside of,

applicable. Should there be, in a specific case, any inconsistency between this Privacy
Policy and Canada’s federal
and provincial privacy laws, as applicable, this Privacy Policy shall
be interpreted, in respect of that case, to give effect to, and comply with,
such privacy laws.
