1. Your Communication Choices

Nexfiore Tutoring Services Inc. provides you with choices regarding how we collect, use, and disclose your information. We generally request your preferences at the time of data collection.

2. Links to Third-Party Sites

Our Services may contain links to websites operated by unrelated third parties, such as government portals for academic grants, professional licensing bodies, or social media platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook.

  • Scope of Policy: This Privacy Policy applies exclusively to Nexfiore Tutoring Services Inc. It does not apply to information collected by third-party service providers or external websites.
  • User Responsibility: When accessing an external site, we recommend reviewing their specific terms of use and privacy statements, as their data handling practices may differ from ours.

3. Retention of Personal Information

As a corporation governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act, Nexfiore retains Personal Information for as long as we maintain a professional relationship with you.

  • Duration: This includes the duration of your tutoring program and a subsequent period to maintain academic records and career guidance history.
  • Post-Relationship: Once our relationship concludes, we retain data for a period necessary to comply with legal and regulatory obligations in British Columbia, resolve disputes, or address inquiries related to our Services.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to support legitimate academic and administrative functions, and to comply with applicable legal obligations.

4. International Transfers of Personal Information

Nexfiore Tutoring Services Inc. is a Canadian corporation headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia. While we are a Canadian entity, we may utilize global service providers for specialized functions such as secure cloud storage, video conferencing for tutoring, or payment processing.

Data Storage: Your Personal Information may be stored on servers located in Canada, the United States, or other jurisdictions.
