You can also update much of your information directly through your account settings, unsubscribe from marketing communications, or adjust your privacy preferences on the platform.
Data Security
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:
While we implement strong security measures, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We encourage users to help protect their accounts by using strong passwords and not sharing login credentials.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes:

Marketing Preferences | Until withdrawal of consent | Compliance with communication preferences |
When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize personal information. Some information may be retained longer if required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention.
International Data Transfers
Xenolaryvetho is based in Canada, and we primarily store and process personal information within Canadian borders. However, some of our service providers may process information in other countries with adequate privacy protections.
When we transfer personal information outside Canada, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through:
Adequacy Decisions: Transfers to countries that have been deemed to provide adequate protection by Canadian authorities.
Contractual Protections: Standard contractual clauses with service providers that require them to protect personal information according to Canadian privacy standards.
Certification Programs: Working with providers who participate in recognized privacy certification programs that ensure appropriate data protection.
You can contact us for more information about the safeguards we use for international transfers of your personal information.
