International Data Transfers

Your personal information may be transferred to countries located outside of your country or region, including to countries that may not provide a similar or adequate level of protection to that provided by your country or region. For example, if you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Canada, New Zealand, or Australia, we may transfer your personal information to the United States or other countries outside of the country of your residence. By using our Service or website or otherwise providing personal information to us, you hereby expressly consent to the transfer of your personal information outside your country or region.

For the transfer of personal information from the EEA to any countries not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection according to EEA standards, we have implemented adequate measures to protect the personal information, such as by ensuring the recipients are bound by standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission.

Children’s Privacy

OnlineFreeInvoice is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 16 without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete such information in accordance with applicable laws.

If you believe that a child under the age of 16 may have provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately at the contact information provided in the “Contact Us” section of this Privacy Policy.

Parents or legal guardians who become aware that their child has provided us with personal information without their consent should also contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

Retention and Deletion of User Information

Data Retention Overview

This section outlines our policies regarding the retention and deletion of User Information to ensure that we comply with our legal obligations under applicable privacy and data protection laws, including Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Default Retention Period

We retain your User Information for as long as necessary to provide you with access to the OnlineFreeInvoice platform and services, to maintain your account, and to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

After the termination or deactivation of your account, we may continue to retain your User Information for a reasonable period where retention is necessary to:

• Respond to any questions, complaints, or claims made by you or on your behalf;

• Comply with applicable legal, tax, audit, and regulatory requirements;

• Maintain appropriate business records for operational purposes;

• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Where possible, we will securely delete or anonymize User Information when it is no longer required for these purposes.

Exceptions to Deletion

Notwithstanding the general rules above, we may retain certain User Information for longer periods where:

• Retention is required to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject;

• Retention is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another individual;

• Retention is required for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Security of User Information

1. Technical and Organizational Security Measures
We are committed to safeguarding your User Information and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to help prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your User Information. These measures include secure data storage, encryption protocols, and other industry-standard safeguards.

2. Encrypted Storage of User Information
To protect your privacy, we store the following User Information in encrypted form: your name, contact details, passwords, and payment card information. This encryption ensures that your data remains confidential and secure.

3. Security of Server-Browser Communications
We use encryption technology to protect the data transmitted between your web browser and our web server. This includes the inquiries you send to us and the responses we send back to you, ensuring that your communication is secure during transmission.

4. Risks of Unencrypted Data Transmission
You acknowledge that transmitting data over the internet that is not encrypted (or inadequately encrypted) presents inherent security risks. While we make every effort to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted over the internet due to the nature of online communication.

5. Password Security
It is your responsibility to ensure that your password is strong enough to prevent unauthorized access. You should avoid easily guessable passwords, whether by humans or automated systems. We will never ask you for your password except when you are logging into our platform. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account.

However, internet transmissions are inherently insecure; therefore, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

2. Check for Changes to the Policy
