Privacy Notice
Last Updated: March 5, 2026
Welcome to LamFia. This Privacy Notice explains how LamFia, a sole proprietorship registered in the Province of Ontario, Canada, operating under the Business Names Act (Ontario) ("LamFia," "we," "our," or "us"), collects, uses, discloses, retains, and otherwise processes personal information in connection with our websites (including https://LamFia.com and https://cloud.LamFia.com), installable software, cloud-hosted software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms, consulting services, training services, and all related products and services (collectively, the "Services").
This Privacy Notice is designed to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (Ontario), and other applicable Canadian federal and provincial privacy legislation (collectively, "Applicable Privacy Law"). Where this Privacy Notice refers to "personal information," it means information about an identifiable individual, as defined under PIPEDA.
This Privacy Notice does not address our privacy practices relating to LamFia job applicants, employees, contractors, or other employment-related individuals, nor data that is not subject to Applicable Privacy Law (such as de-identified, aggregated, or publicly available information). This Privacy Notice is also not a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations not otherwise provided by law.
1. Our Role in Processing Personal Information
Under Applicable Privacy Law, an organization that determines the purposes for which personal information is collected, used, or disclosed is accountable for that personal information. LamFia is accountable for the personal information under its control, including personal information transferred to third parties for processing on our behalf.
This Privacy Notice describes our privacy practices where we are acting as the organization accountable for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information. However, this Privacy Notice does not cover or address how our customers may process personal information when they use our Services, or how we may process personal information on their behalf in accordance with their instructions as a service provider. We recommend referring to the privacy notice of the customer with whom you have a relationship for information on how they engage service providers, like us, to process personal information on their behalf. We are generally not in a position to respond to individual requests relating to personal information we process on behalf of our customers, and we recommend directing any such requests to the relevant customer.
2. Consent
In accordance with PIPEDA, we collect, use, and disclose your personal information with your knowledge and consent, except where permitted or required by law. By using our Services, providing your personal information to us, or engaging us for consulting or training services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Notice.
You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawal of consent may affect our ability to provide certain Services to you. To withdraw consent, please contact us at privacy@LamFia.com.
3. Our Collection and Use of Personal Information
The categories of personal information we collect depend on how you interact with us and our Services, including whether you use our installable software, SaaS platform, consulting services, or training services. You may provide personal information directly when you provide contact information, use our Services, register for an account, engage us for consulting or training, complete an online transaction, participate in an event or survey, or otherwise contact us.
We also collect personal information automatically when you interact with our websites and other Services and may collect personal information from other sources and third parties.

If you choose to contact us, we may need additional information to fulfill the request or respond to your inquiry.

Upon termination of your account, we may delete Customer Content within thirty (30) days, and we shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Content after such period.
8.3. Consulting Services
In the course of providing consulting services, we may receive personal information about you or your organization's personnel, clients, or partners as necessary to deliver the engagement. We use this information solely for the purpose of performing the consulting services described in the applicable Statement of Work.

9. Children's Personal Information
Our Services are not directed to, and we do not intend to, or knowingly, collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of eighteen (18), being the age of majority in the Province of Ontario. If an individual is under the age of eighteen (18), they should not use our Services or otherwise provide us with any personal information. If a child under the age of eighteen (18) has provided personal information to us, we encourage the child's parent or guardian to contact us at privacy@LamFia.com to request that we remove the personal information from our systems. If we learn that any personal information we have collected has been provided by a child under the age of eighteen (18), we will promptly delete that personal information.
10. Data Security
LamFia takes the security of your personal information seriously. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal, or destruction. These measures include encryption of personal information in transit and at rest, access controls, and secure software development practices.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for the security of your own systems and devices. You must notify us immediately at support@LamFia.com of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.
11. Retention of Personal Information
We will retain the personal information we collect about you for no longer than reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and in accordance with our legitimate business interests and Applicable Privacy Law. However, if necessary, we may retain personal information for longer periods as required by law or as needed to resolve disputes or protect our legal rights.
To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, whether we can achieve the purposes by other means, and our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and other obligations.
Once retention is no longer reasonably necessary, we will either delete or de-identify the personal information or, if that is not possible (for example, because personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store the personal information and isolate it from further active processing until deletion or de-identification is possible.
12. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our Services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, applications, and other services. This Privacy Notice does not apply to any personal information practices of third parties.
