13. International Processing and Storage
Versus Canada is based in Alberta, Canada. Some service providers, affiliates, contractors, or technical systems may process or store information outside Alberta or outside Canada, including in the United States or other jurisdictions.
When personal information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to that jurisdiction’s laws and may be accessible to courts, governments, regulators, law-enforcement agencies, or national-security authorities in accordance with local law.
Versus Canada uses reasonable contractual, administrative, and technical measures designed to protect information handled by service providers. However, no cross-border transfer or storage system can eliminate all legal or security risks.
You may contact our Privacy Officer for additional information about our use of service providers outside Canada.

Despite these measures, no website, database, email system, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, used, disclosed, altered, lost, or destroyed without authorization.
You should avoid sending sensitive payment or account information through unencrypted email or public messaging services.
15. Privacy and Security Incidents
If Versus Canada becomes aware of a privacy or security incident, we will assess the circumstances and take reasonable steps to contain, investigate, and remediate the incident.
Where required by applicable law, we will notify affected individuals and report the incident to the appropriate privacy commissioner or regulatory authority.
We may maintain records of privacy and security incidents as required by law and for legitimate security, risk-management, and compliance purposes.
16. Retention of Personal Information
Versus Canada retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, satisfy legal and contractual obligations, resolve disputes, protect against fraud, enforce agreements, and support legitimate business requirements.

Order, invoice, payment, tax, and accounting records may be retained for the period required by applicable law.
Artwork and customization files may be retained to facilitate repeat orders, maintain production consistency, document approvals, resolve disputes, or meet business and legal requirements.
When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, destroy, anonymize, or de-identify it. Residual copies may remain temporarily in backups or archived systems until those systems are overwritten or securely retired.
17. Accuracy of Personal Information
We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information used to make a decision or provide a service is accurate, complete, and current.
You are responsible for providing accurate information and notifying us when your contact, shipping, billing, account, or customization information changes.
Versus Canada is not responsible for production or delivery issues caused by inaccurate information, artwork, names, numbers, sizes, addresses, instructions, or approvals supplied by a customer or an authorized representative.
18. Accessing and Correcting Personal Information
Subject to applicable law, you may request:
- Confirmation that we hold personal information about you;
- Access to personal information under our control;
- Information about how your personal information has been used or disclosed;
- Correction of inaccurate or incomplete information; and
- Information about our privacy practices.
Requests should be submitted in writing to our Privacy Officer. To protect privacy and security, we may require sufficient information to verify your identity and locate the requested records.
We will respond within the time required by applicable law. We may charge a reasonable fee where permitted by law, but we will inform you of the fee before proceeding.
Access may be limited or refused where permitted or required by law. For example, we may be unable to provide information that:

- Contains confidential commercial information;
- Was generated during a formal dispute-resolution process;
- Could threaten the safety or security of an individual;

We may need to retain certain information where it is reasonably required for:
- Tax, accounting, or corporate records;
- Completing an order or transaction;
- Managing returns, warranties, or disputes;
- Preventing fraud or abuse;
- Maintaining unsubscribe preferences;
- Establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims;
- Complying with a legal obligation; or
- Maintaining security and system integrity.
Where complete deletion is not reasonably possible or legally required, we may restrict further use, de-identify the information, or retain it securely until deletion is possible.
20. Anonymous and Aggregated Information
We may create anonymous, aggregated, statistical, or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify an individual.
We may use and disclose such information for lawful business purposes, including analytics, product planning, reporting, operational improvement, security, and research.
We will not attempt to re-identify de-identified information except where permitted by law for security, testing, verification, or compliance purposes.
21. Third-Party Links and Websites
Our website may contain links to websites, applications, social media platforms, payment services, or resources operated by third parties.
Versus Canada does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, content, availability, security, or practices of third-party services. A link does not constitute an endorsement of the third party or its privacy practices.
You should review the privacy policies and terms of each third-party service before providing personal information.
22. User-Submitted Content
You may provide us with artwork, images, photographs, logos, names, numbers, testimonials, reviews, comments, or other content.
You are responsible for ensuring that:
- You have the right to provide the content;
- The content does not infringe another person’s rights;
- Any necessary permissions or consents have been obtained;
- Personal information included in the content is provided lawfully; and
- The information and instructions are accurate.
Do not submit highly sensitive information unless it is reasonably necessary and specifically requested by Versus Canada.
23. Reviews, Testimonials, and Promotional Content
We will obtain consent where required before publishing an identifiable customer testimonial, photograph, case study, or similar promotional content.
Public reviews submitted through a third-party platform may be displayed according to that platform’s settings and policies. Information you voluntarily make public may be viewed, copied, or used by others.
24. Team and Group Orders
In a team, league, school, club, corporate, or group order, an organizer may provide personal information about other participants. The organizer represents that they are authorized to provide the information and to instruct Versus Canada regarding the order.
Participants should direct questions about information submitted by an organizer to both the organizer and Versus Canada where appropriate.
Versus Canada may communicate with the designated organizer rather than each individual participant regarding product selections, approvals, production, payment, delivery, returns, and other order matters.
25. Automated Processing
We may use automated systems to support functions such as payment authorization, fraud screening, security monitoring, spam filtering, website personalization, order management, marketing segmentation, and analytics.
We do not intend to use automated decision-making to make decisions that produce significant legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without appropriate notice and safeguards where required by law.
26. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:
- Our products, services, or business operations;
- Our website or technology;
- Our service providers;
- Legal or regulatory requirements; or
- Our privacy and security practices.
The updated policy will be posted on our website with a revised “Last Updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated through a website notice, account notification, or email where appropriate.
Your continued use of our website following an update means that the revised policy will apply to subsequent interactions, subject to any additional consent required by law.
