4. Legal Basis for Processing
Under Canadian privacy law, we generally rely on consent, necessity, and legitimate business purposes that are appropriate in the circumstances. Depending on the context, we may process personal information on the following bases:
- Consent: where you have given us express or implied consent to collect, use, or disclose your personal information.
- Contractual necessity: where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, including service delivery and billing.
- Legitimate business purposes: where the collection, use, or disclosure is reasonable and appropriate for our business operations and does not override your interests, including administration, communications, security, and service improvement.
- Legal obligation: where processing is required to comply with applicable laws, court orders, or regulatory requirements.
- Protection of interests: where necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of Maple Frame Studios Inc., our clients, or others.
In certain circumstances, Canadian privacy laws allow collection, use, or disclosure without consent. Where this applies, we will do so only as permitted by law and in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

When we use third-party service providers, we take reasonable steps to ensure that they are bound by confidentiality and security obligations appropriate to the nature of the information they handle.
Where personal information is shared for a specific purpose, we require the recipient to use it only for the purpose for which it was disclosed, unless otherwise permitted or required by law.
6. Data Transfer to Third Countries
Some of our service providers may store or process personal information outside Canada, including in the United States or other countries. As a result, your information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions and may be accessible to courts, law enforcement, or national security authorities in those countries.
We will take reasonable contractual, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information transferred outside Canada. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
