Safeguards and retention

Safeguarding your personal information is very important to us. We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures in an effort to safeguard the personal information in our custody and control against theft, loss and unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure. We restrict access to personal information on a need-to-know basis to employees and authorized service providers who require access to fulfill their job requirements. While we make our best efforts to protect this information, data breaches, though unlikely, may still occur. 

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable laws or contractual obligations. For customer account information, we generally retain the information for the duration of the customer relationship plus a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes. For personal information we process on behalf of our customers, we retain such information in accordance with our customers’ instructions and our contractual obligations, generally for the duration of our service agreement with the customer plus a reasonable period thereafter for compliance and business continuity purposes. Our record retention processes include destroying information once retention is no longer required or prescribed by law by deleting it from the cloud or destroying physical information. This retention process does not apply to personal information that has been aggregated or anonymized such that it does not identify you personally.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a security breach that affects your personal information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and, where appropriate, notify affected individuals in accordance with applicable laws. If the breach involves information we process on behalf of our customers, we will notify the affected customers in accordance with our contractual obligations and applicable laws.

Sheaf is based in Canada and may process personal information in Canada, the United States, or other countries where we or our service providers operate. If you are located outside of Canada, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country different from your country of residence, which may have different data protection laws. By using Sheaf’s services, you consent to such transfers, storage, and processing. When we transfer personal information across borders, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure your information is protected.
