You have the following rights with respect to your personal information:

• Right to Access – You may request to have access to the personal data we have relating to you. We will reply within 30 days either to provide you your information if we have it, or let you know we do not, or if we have it but are not allowed to provide you access, for example if doing so would violate the privacy of another individual, we will provide you with justification.
• Right to Correct – If you find your information is inaccurate, you may have it corrected.
• Right to Withdraw Consent – If consent was a basis of collection of your personal information and you no longer consent to us retaining and using your personal data, you may request to have it deleted. We will do so immediately, unless legal requirements impose retention periods.

To keep your personal data safe, we use appropriate security safeguards to provide necessary protection. These include physical measures (e.g., restricting access to offices, and alarm systems), up-to-date technological tools (e.g., passwords, encryption, firewalls and security patches), and organizational controls (e.g., security clearances, limiting access, staff training, and agreements). We apply these measures, tools, and controls based on the sensitivity of the information we collect, use, and store, and the current state of technology.  While we make considerable efforts to protect our information systems, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security.

We will never initiate a request for personal information by email or pop-up window (except for the payment pop-up window described under “What We Collect” above). If you receive a request by email or a different pop-up window that appears to be originating from CUT, please do not respond and notify us at the contact information under “QUESTIONS?” below.

If you are accessing our website from the European Union, Asia, Australia, South America, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure that differ from United States or Canadian laws (such as the General Data Protection Regulation, or “GDPR”), please be advised that through your continued use of our website, you will be transferring your personal information into Canada onto our cloud platform and you consent to that transfer.

If you have a complaint against us relating to our use of personal information and you are accessing the website from the EU, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority competent for your country or region or where an alleged infringement of applicable data protection law occurs.
