In accordance with the Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information (Law 25), Sorvek has designated a privacy officer:

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use it for advertising purposes.
4. Legal basis and consent
In accordance with Law 25 and PIPEDA, the processing of your information relies on one or more of the following legal bases:

5. Hosting and cross-border transfers
The Sorvek platform is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, in the ca-central-1 region (Montreal, Canada). Data is stored and processed primarily within Canadian territory.
Some service providers (in particular Stripe for billing) may process data from foreign jurisdictions (United States). In accordance with section 17 of Law 25, Sorvek has carried out a privacy impact assessment (PIA) for these transfers and has put in place the appropriate contractual measures (standard contractual clauses, compliant privacy policies).
Before any transfer of personal information outside Quebec, we ensure that the receiving country or organization offers a level of protection that is adequate or equivalent to the one provided by Law 25.
6. Service providers and third parties
We rely on the following service providers to deliver our services. Each is bound by contractual confidentiality commitments.
| Service provider | Role | Location | Data involved |
|---|---|---|---|

| Stripe | Payment processing | United States | Billing data |
We never share your information with third parties for commercial or advertising purposes.
7. Retention periods
We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable legal requirements.
| Category | Retention period | Justification |
|---|---|---|
