StudyCareer Canada (“we”, “us”, “the Service”) is a service operated by VisionSpector (visionspector.com). We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
This policy is designed to comply with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and its ten fair information principles. Where applicable, it also addresses obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for visitors from the European Economic Area and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

By using the Service, you consent to the collection of automatically gathered data described in Section 2.2. For email communications, we obtain express consent at the point of collection.
You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe mechanism in any email. Withdrawal of consent may limit your ability to use certain features of the Service.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within 30 days as required by PIPEDA.
The Service is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can promptly delete it.
