Information that we collect may be uploaded, moved, stored, processed in, backed up and/or transferred between any of the countries in which we operate or may operate in order to enable us to collect, use, and/or disclose the Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Your Information may be uploaded, moved, stored, processed in, backed up and/or transferred in Landus Canada’s discretion in Canada or in jurisdictions other than Canada, including the United States, and you consent to the same. You also acknowledge and agree that your Information may be transmitted, uploaded, or moved across international borders in Landus Canada’s discretion, and you consent to the same. Information processed and stored in another country may be subject to disclosure or access requests by the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies in that country according to its laws.
You acknowledge and agree that we may use and/or disclose your Information, without notice, if legally permitted to do so according to the relevant provisions of the Privacy Acts.

5. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Landus Canada may secure the Information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When Information is transmitted to other web sites or third parties for the purposes specified above, we may also, or in the alternative, protect it through the use of encryption, such as by way of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Information is not kept by Landus Canada for any longer than is necessary for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy. Information that is no longer required to fulfil the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy will be destroyed, erased, or made anonymous.
