5. Consent
By using the website, submitting information, creating an account, registering for an event, using an online tool, or communicating with NanoSeal NB, you consent to our collection and use of your information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Where we disclose information to service providers, business partners, advisors, regulators, legal authorities, or other third parties, we do so only as described in this Privacy Policy, as authorised by you, as reasonably necessary for our business operations, or as required or permitted by applicable law.
Some information is necessary for us to provide certain features or services. If you do not provide required information, we may not be able to respond to your inquiry, create an account, provide access to tools, generate outputs, or provide requested services.

For marketing emails or other commercial electronic messages, we may request consent separately where required by law.
You may withdraw consent to certain uses of personal information, subject to legal, contractual, technical, security, and business recordkeeping limitations. Withdrawal of consent may affect our ability to provide certain services, tools, accounts, communications, or support.
6. User-Submitted Content and Project Information
You are responsible for the information, files, messages, project details, calculator inputs, and other materials you choose to submit to NanoSeal NB.
By submitting information or materials to NanoSeal NB, you grant NanoSeal NB permission to use, store, copy, process, review, analyse, format, transmit, display internally, and create records from that information solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
NanoSeal NB does not claim ownership of your personal information itself. However, NanoSeal NB may own and retain business records, internal notes, CRM records, analytics, metadata, audit logs, reports, summaries, calculations, aggregated information, anonymised information, de-identified information, and internal business intelligence generated through use of the website, tools, forms, systems, or communications, subject to applicable law.
We may use aggregated, anonymised, or de-identified information for internal reporting, product planning, service improvement, sales strategy, market analysis, training, operations, and business development. Where information has been anonymised or de-identified so that it no longer identifies an individual, we may retain and use it for legitimate business purposes.

NanoSeal NB uses cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, improve performance, understand visitor activity, protect the website from misuse, and support business development.

10. Cross-Border Processing and Storage
Some of our service providers, systems, servers, business tools, or technology vendors may be located in Canada, the United States, or other jurisdictions.
As a result, information may be processed, stored, accessed, or transferred outside your province, territory, or country of residence.
Information processed outside your jurisdiction may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction, including lawful access by courts, governments, regulators, or law enforcement authorities.
By using our website, submitting information, creating an account, or using our tools, you understand that your information may be processed or stored outside your province, territory, or country, subject to applicable law.
11. Retention of Information
NanoSeal NB retains information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, a "meaningful interaction" includes an inquiry, email exchange, phone call, meeting, account login, tool use, form submission, event registration, event attendance, quote request, sales discussion, project discussion, or other business activity related to NanoSeal NB.

These periods are general guidelines and may vary depending on legal requirements, business needs, disputes, investigations, backups, security, technical limitations, or operational requirements.
12. Account Deletion, Deactivation, and Metadata
You may request deletion or deactivation of your account by contacting us.
Where reasonably practicable, NanoSeal NB will delete, deactivate, anonymise, or restrict personal information associated with your account, subject to applicable law and reasonable business requirements.
A deletion request does not necessarily require NanoSeal NB to delete all information connected to your past use of the website or services.
We may retain information where required or permitted by law, or where reasonably necessary for legitimate business, legal, security, or administrative purposes. This may include:
- server logs;
- security logs;
- audit records;
- consent records;
- backup records;
- transactional records;
- legal records;
- accounting records;
- CRM history;
- communication history;

- internal notes and business records;
- metadata that is no longer directly associated with an identifiable individual;
- aggregated, anonymised, or de-identified data.
If your personal information is contained in backups, we may not immediately delete it from backup systems, but we will handle such information in accordance with our retention, security, and backup practices.
13. Access and Correction Rights
You may contact us to request access to personal information we hold about you or to request correction of information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
We may refuse, limit, or delay access or correction where permitted or required by law, including where disclosure would reveal confidential business information, information about another person, legal privilege, security-sensitive information, or information that cannot reasonably be separated from other records.
14. Withdrawal of Consent
You may withdraw consent to certain uses of personal information by contacting us.
Withdrawal of consent is subject to legal, contractual, technical, security, and business recordkeeping limitations.
If you withdraw consent, we may no longer be able to provide certain services, accounts, tools, communications, event registrations, product information, or support.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect information already used or disclosed before the withdrawal, and does not require us to delete information that we are legally permitted or required to retain.
15. Quebec Residents
If you are located in Quebec, you may have additional rights under Quebec privacy law.
NanoSeal NB's Privacy Officer also acts as the person responsible for the protection of personal information for Quebec privacy purposes, unless that function is delegated in writing.
Where required by law, Quebec residents may request access to their personal information and may request that computerized personal information collected from them be provided in a structured, commonly used technological format, subject to legal, technical, and practical limitations.
NanoSeal NB does not currently make decisions about individuals based solely on automated processing of personal information. If this changes, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any notices or rights required by applicable law, including information about the personal information used, the main factors leading to the decision, and the opportunity to submit observations to a person able to review the decision.
Where our website or tools use technology that identifies, locates, or profiles a person, we will provide notice through this Privacy Policy, our cookie banner, or another appropriate notice, and we will explain how to activate or deactivate those functions where required by law.
16. Marketing Communications and CASL
NanoSeal NB may send commercial electronic messages, including product updates, event invitations, educational materials, newsletters, announcements, and marketing communications, only where we have consent or are otherwise permitted by applicable law.
When required, we will request marketing consent separately through a checkbox, form, signup process, event registration, account setting, or similar consent mechanism.
Marketing messages will identify the sender and include an unsubscribe mechanism where required by law.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time. We may still send non-marketing messages, including responses to inquiries, account notices, security alerts, administrative messages, transaction-related communications, and communications related to an existing business relationship.
17. Security
NanoSeal NB uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction.
Safeguards may include access controls, password protection, account permissions, secure hosting, software updates, security monitoring, spam prevention, backups, vendor controls, and internal procedures.
However, no website, system, server, network, email, or method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
18. Privacy Breaches
If NanoSeal NB becomes aware of a privacy breach involving personal information under our control, we will assess the incident and take reasonable steps to contain, investigate, and respond to it.
Where required by applicable law, we will notify affected individuals, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, provincial privacy regulators, service providers, partners, or other relevant parties.
We may maintain records of privacy breaches as required by law.
