Global Data Protection Policy
Safeguarding Trust, Ensuring Excellence
At pH7 Technologies, we recognize that data is the cornerstone of trust in the modern world. Our Global Data Protection Policy reflects an unwavering commitment to safeguarding the personal information of our employees, partners, clients, and stakeholders across all jurisdictions in which we operate. This policy embodies our dedication to upholding the highest standards of privacy, security, and ethical stewardship in an interconnected global landscape.
Our Commitment
We pledge to protect personal data (information about an identifiable individual” in commercial activities) with rigor and transparency, adhering to all applicable Canadian and international laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), provincial privacy laws such as British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Japan Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and others. Our approach transcends compliance, and it is a promise to foster trust through accountability and respect for individual rights.
Core Principles
- Lawful and Ethical Processing: We collect and process data solely for legitimate purposes, ensuring fairness, transparency, and alignment with stated objectives.
- Data Minimization: Only essential data is gathered, retained for no longer than necessary, and disposed of securely when its purpose is fulfilled.
- Security as a Priority: Robust technical and organizational measures are deployed to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, or breach, ensuring resilience in an evolving threat landscape.
- Individual Empowerment: We honor the rights of data subjects to access, rectify, or erase their information, responding promptly and with utmost diligence to such requests.
- Global Consistency: Uniform standards are applied across our operations worldwide, harmonizing Canadian requirements with our elevated global benchmarks.
Governance and Accountability
Our Data Protection Officer (DPO), supported by a dedicated compliance team, oversees the implementation of this policy. Regular audits, risk assessments, and employee training reinforce our culture of vigilance. Third-party partners are held to the same exacting standards through stringent contractual obligations, ensuring a seamless chain of trust.
Incident Response
In the rare event of a data breach, we are prepared to act swiftly and decisively. Our incident response framework ensures immediate containment, thorough investigation, and timely notification to affected parties and authorities, such as the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, as required by law, while learning from each instance to fortify our defences.
A Shared Responsibility
Protecting data is not merely a policy—it is a collective endeavour. Every member of the pH7 team is entrusted with upholding these principles, fostering an environment where privacy thrives as a fundamental value.
Looking Forward
As technology and regulations evolve, so too will our commitment. We will continuously refine our practices, embracing innovation while preserving the sanctity of personal data. At pH7 Technologies, safeguarding information is not just an obligation—it is a privilege we uphold with pride.
