3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information in the following circumstances:
Third-Party Handling of Personal Information
- On Behalf of WTP: When third parties collect, use, or disclose personal information on our behalf, they are required to adhere to our privacy policy and instructions. We remain responsible for their handling of this information and ensure they provide equivalent protections to those under Canadian law.

International Transfer and Storage of Personal Information
Your personal information may be transferred, stored, or processed outside of Canada, including in jurisdictions with different data protection laws. In such cases, your information may be subject to access requests from foreign governments, courts, or law enforcement agencies under local laws.

- User Responsibility: We advise users to maintain their own security measures, such as using antivirus software and being cautious about sharing sensitive information.
