Consent

Unless permitted by law, no personal information is collected without first obtaining the consent of the individual concerned to the collection, use and disclosure of that information. By visiting our website or facilities, by engaging in commercial relations with us, or by otherwise interacting with us, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information by iogen in accordance with the terms of and for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. When you request to withdraw your consent, we will inform you of the consequences of such withdrawal.

To comply with legal and regulatory requirements
For other purposes that we may indicate to you from time to time

When Do We Disclose Your Personal Information to Third Parties?

Iogen may disclose an individual's personal information to third parties in the following circumstances:

To another company with whom we do business in order to facilitate communication between counterparties to a project or initiative
To our service providers, including individuals and organizations, that provide iogen with cloud hosting services, payment processing, website support and maintenance, and legal, regulatory, or audit services

Otherwise as permitted by applicable laws

Any such disclosure of an individual's personal information outside of iogen is, to the extent possible, made on a confidential basis with the information to be used only for the purpose of which it was disclosed.

Retention and Storage of Personal Information

Iogen keeps your 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 purpose for which it was collected and the nature of the information.

When personal information is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, iogen will destroy, delete, erase or convert it into an anonymous form. If we learn that we have unintentionally stored personal information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to anonymize or purge this information.

Iogen stores your information in the cloud on servers managed by Microsoft that are located in Toronto and Quebec City. We also maintain hard copy files and store information on our on-site server in Ottawa. Iogen may use service providers located outside of Canada, and if applicable, your personal information may be processed and stored in a foreign jurisdiction, including the United States, and therefore may be subject to access or disclosure to foreign law enforcement authorities under the laws of those jurisdictions. You may request information from iogen on the jurisdictions in which iogen and/or its service providers will process and store personal information.

How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?

We make commercially reasonable efforts to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of personal information under our control, using safeguards proportional to the sensitivity of the information. Our security policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary. We employ administrative, contractual and technological safeguards to protect your information. For example, only authorized employees and service providers have access to personal information of representatives of visitors to our and third parties' facilities. Where information is sent to a third party for processing, we make sure, through our contracts with them, that such service providers may only use the information for the limited purposes for which it was disclosed and are required to keep the information secure. We operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems.

Managing Your Information

Upon your written request, we will inform you as to your right to access your personal information, and/or your right to request iogen to correct or amend any personal information that you believe is factually inaccurate or incomplete. Upon your written request and subject applicable law and certain exceptions to your right of access, including if the information requested contains personal information of other persons, or for legal reasons, we will provide access to the personal information requested and correct or amend personal information that is shown to be factually inaccurate or incomplete. Access requests should be sent to our Privacy Officer, using the contact information in the "Contact Us" section below.
