Track conversions from LinkedIn ads

Retarget website visitors with relevant ads

Analyze website usage and performance
​​
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Where required, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies.

Non-essential cookies, including advertising and analytics cookies, are not activated until consent is provided.

7. International Data Transfers

As a Canadian organization, we comply with PIPEDA. We ensure that any personal information transferred to third-party service providers outside of Canada is afforded a comparable level of protection through contractual agreements. Your data may be subject to the laws of the jurisdictions in which it is stored.
Where applicable, we also comply with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

Client Project Data: For active engagements, we retain data for the duration of the contract plus 10 years to comply with tax, audit, and legal obligations.
In certain circumstances, we may retain data for longer where required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. -
Technical Data: Website analytics data is typically retained for up to 14 months. Certain cookies, including advertising and tracking cookies, may have shorter retention periods depending on their purpose and provider.
​​
In all cases, we retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
