HOW WE TRANSFER YOUR INFORMATION 

We operate mainly in Canada, but we may communicate, store, or process the information we collect from you within your home jurisdiction to jurisdictions other than your home jurisdiction, such as the United States, Canada or in Europe, for the purposes described in this policy. By submitting information to us, you consent to the communication of your information to, and the storage of that information, outside of your province of residence.  While such information is outside of your province of residence, it is subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is held, and may be subject to disclosure to the government, courts, law enforcement, regulatory agencies and national security authorities of that jurisdiction pursuant to local laws. However, our practices regarding your information will continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy at all times.

HOW WE PROTECT AND KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

We implement physical, administrative and technical safeguards designed to preserve the confidentiality, integrity and security of information under our control. However, information transmitted on the Internet and/or stored on systems attached to the Internet is not 100% secure, and no security can provide absolute protection. As a result, we do not ensure, warrant or guarantee the security or integrity of such information. You understand that any messages or information you send to the Sites may be read or intercepted by others. If you have any questions about the security of personal information collected by ELYSIS, please contact: PrivacyOfficer-ELYSIS@elysis.com
