This Privacy Policy applies to the websites operated by 4orm Finance ("4orm Finance," "we," "us," "our"), including 4ormfinance.com and its subdomains, 4ormex.com, and 4ormedc.com. 4orm Finance is a Canadian corporation with offices in Calgary, Vancouver, and Edmonton.
This Policy is designed to comply with the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the Alberta Personal Information Protection Act (Alberta PIPA), the British Columbia Personal Information Protection Act (BC PIPA), and Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Law 25, as amended).

We use personal information to:
Automated decision-making. 4orm Finance does not currently use automated decision-making (within the meaning of Quebec Law 25 s.12.1) to produce legal effects or significantly affect any individual. If we deploy such processing in the future, we will inform affected individuals before or at the time of the decision and offer the opportunity to submit observations.

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may disclose information to:
Some of our service providers are located outside Canada (including in the United States) and may store or process personal information outside of Canada. Personal information stored outside of Canada may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions, including lawful requests for access by foreign courts, law enforcement, and national security authorities. We require all service providers to maintain protections that are reasonable in the circumstances and comparable to those required under Canadian law.
This notice is provided in compliance with Alberta PIPA s.13.1 (notification of foreign service providers) and Quebec Law 25 (cross-border transfer assessment requirements).
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable Canadian law. Typical retention periods:

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Privacy Officer at compliance@4ormfinance.com. We will respond within 30 days.
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, use, disclosure, copying, or modification. These include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, multi-factor authentication for administrative access, and regular security review.
Breach notification. If a breach of security safeguards involves a real risk of significant harm, we will notify affected individuals and the applicable Privacy Commissioner (Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia, or the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec) as required under PIPEDA, PIPA, and Law 25.
