OOCanada.ca - Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 13, 2026

OOCanada.ca is owned and operated by Montreal Espace Artificial Intelligence Inc. (“OOCanada.ca,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from users of our business directory and supplier discovery platform, how we use it, and the rights available to users located in Canada, the United States (including California), the European Economic Area/United Kingdom, and Australia.

This Privacy Policy applies together with our Terms & Conditions and forms an integral part of the agreement between OOCanada.ca and its users.

1. WHAT WE COLLECT

OOCanada.ca is designed to minimize the personal information we collect. We do not use tracking cookies, behavioral analytics, advertising pixels, or any third-party marketing tracking tools on our platform.

We collect only the following categories of information:

1. Supplier listing information: business name, contact details, industry category, province/territory, product or service descriptions, images, and other content voluntarily submitted by Suppliers for publication in the directory.
2. Account contact information: name and email address used to communicate with us, manage a Listing, or process a Membership plan.
3. Payment-related communications: because Supplier Membership payments are made by Interac e-Transfer, we may collect the sender’s name and email address as they appear on the transfer notice, solely to match and confirm payment. We do not collect or retain any banking information, account numbers, or transaction data beyond what is needed to confirm a payment was sent.
4. Correspondence: any information a user provides when contacting us directly (for example, by email).
5. We do not collect any information from Buyers browsing the directory. Buyers can view Supplier Listings without creating an account or submitting personal information.

2. WHAT WE DON’T DO

1. We do not use cookies, web beacons, or similar tracking technologies to monitor visitor behavior.
2. We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. We do not build user profiles or serve behavioral advertising.
4. We do not process payments directly and do not retain any payment card or banking information; all Supplier payments are made independently by Interac e-Transfer.

3. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

Information collected is used only to:

1. Publish and maintain Supplier directory Listings;
2. Communicate with Suppliers and Buyers about their account, Listing, or inquiry;
3. Confirm receipt of Membership payments sent by Interac e-Transfer;
4. Comply with our legal obligations and enforce our Terms & Conditions.

4. DATA RETENTION

We retain Supplier Listing content for as long as the Listing remains active on the platform, plus a reasonable period afterward to handle disputes or legal requirements. Contact and payment-confirmation information is retained only as long as needed to administer the applicable Membership plan, after which it is deleted or anonymized. We do not retain browsing data, since none is collected.

5. HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION

We specifically limit the personal information we collect in order to reduce risk. Access to Supplier and account information is restricted to personnel who need it to operate the platform. While no method of storage or transmission is completely secure, we take administrative and technical measures that are reasonable and proportionate to the limited amount of data we hold.

6. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Supplier Listings and pages may contain links to third-party websites. OOCanada.ca is not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites and encourages users to review the privacy policy of any third-party site they visit.

7. YOUR RIGHTS — CANADA

For users in Canada, this Policy is intended to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and, for Quebec residents, the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector as amended by Law 25. Canadian users have the right to:

1. Request access to the personal information we hold about them;
2. Request correction of inaccurate information;
3. Request deletion of information we no longer need for the purposes described above;
4. Withdraw consent to future collection or use, subject to legal or contractual limits;
5. File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or, for Quebec residents, the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec.

8. YOUR RIGHTS — UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA

For users in the United States, and in particular California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), OOCanada.ca confirms the following:

We do not sell or share personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA.

We do not use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request its deletion or correction, and not to face discrimination for exercising these rights.

Because OOCanada.ca collects only limited Listing and contact information and does not track or sell data, most CCPA/CPRA disclosure obligations relating to the sale, sharing, or profiling of sensitive data do not apply to our practices. Requests may be submitted to the address in Section 12.

9. YOUR RIGHTS — EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA / UNITED KINGDOM

For users located in the EEA or UK, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or UK GDPR applies, OOCanada.ca acts as data controller for the limited personal information described in Section 1. Our legal basis for processing is:

Performance of a contract, where information is necessary to publish a Supplier Listing or administer a Membership plan;

Legitimate interest, to confirm payment and maintain the accuracy of the directory;

Consent, where a user voluntarily submits information through correspondence.

EEA/UK users have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of their personal information, as well as the right to data portability, subject to applicable exceptions. Users may also file a complaint with their local supervisory authority. As a Canada-based company processing limited Listing and contact data internationally, any cross-border transfer of personal information is carried out with appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.

10. YOUR RIGHTS — AUSTRALIA

For users located in Australia, this Policy is intended to be consistent with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). OOCanada.ca collects only the limited categories of personal information described in Section 1, does not use tracking technologies, and does not disclose personal information to overseas recipients except as reasonably necessary to operate the Platform from Canada. Australian users have the right to:

1. Request access to the personal information we hold about them;
2. Request correction of inaccurate or out-of-date information;
3. Request deletion of information we no longer need for the purposes described in this Policy;

Make a complaint about a suspected breach of the APPs, including to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if the complaint is not resolved directly with us.

Because OOCanada.ca collects a minimal set of information and does not track or profile visitors, the practical privacy impact on Australian users, whether Suppliers or Buyers, is limited to the information they choose to submit to us directly.

11. INTERNATIONAL USERS GENERALLY

OOCanada.ca is a Canadian platform built to connect Canadian Suppliers with Buyers worldwide. Because we collect a minimum of personal information and do not track visitors, the practical privacy impact on international Buyers browsing the directory is limited to the information they choose to submit to us directly.
