Your privacy is important to us. It is BFF Canada's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you on the BFF Canada website, and other sites we own and operate.
Among the measures we adopted, we highlight the following:
- Only authorized people have access to your personal data
- Access to your personal data is only made after a commitment to confidentiality
- Your personal data is stored in a safe and suitable environment.
We only request personal information when we truly need it to provide you with a service. We do so by fair and legal means, with your knowledge and consent. We also tell you why we are collecting it and how it will be used.
We only retain collected information for as long as necessary to provide the requested service. When we store data, we protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
We do not share personally identifiable information publicly or with third parties except when required by law.
Our website may have links to external websites that are not operated by us. Please be aware that we have no control over the content and practices of these sites and cannot accept responsibility for their respective privacy policies.
You are free to refuse our request for your personal information, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired services.
Your continued use of our website will be considered acceptance of our practices around privacy and personal information. If you have any questions about how we handle user data and personal information, please contact us via contato@bffcanada.com.
A BFF Canada is committed to adopting the best postures to avoid security incidents. However, it is necessary to highlight that no virtual page is entirely safe and risk-free. It is possible that, despite all our security protocols, problems that are solely the fault of third parties may occur, such as cyber attacks from hackers, or also as a result of the negligence or recklessness of the user/client themselves.
