We may disclose information to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or courts when required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Canada West Asset, our clients, or others.

We engage trusted third-party service providers (e.g., secure cloud hosting, email delivery, identity verification) who process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.

4. Data Security
We implement comprehensive administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security practices include:
- AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit
- Multi-factor authentication for all administrative and client portal access
- Role-based access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel only
- Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments by independent security firms

- Incident response procedures aligned with applicable data breach notification laws
