Some of our service providers, including providers of hosting, analytics, customer relationship management, communications and productivity services, may process or store personal information in Canada, the United States or other jurisdictions where they operate. When we engage these providers, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is protected through appropriate contractual, technical and organizational safeguards.

We remain responsible for personal information under our control and use contractual, organizational or other measures appropriate to the circumstances when engaging service providers.
14. International Visitors
Argus Immigration is based in Canada, but our website may be accessed by individuals located in other countries.
If you provide personal information through our website, your information may be transferred to and processed in Canada and in other countries where our service providers operate.
This Privacy Policy applies to all website visitors. However, privacy rights and legal requirements may vary depending on the visitor’s country or region.
Where a privacy law outside Canada applies to our activities, we will handle personal information and respond to valid requests as required by that law.
Accessing our website from another country does not, by itself, mean that every law of that country necessarily applies to Argus Immigration. Applicability depends on factors including our activities, how services are offered and whether individuals in that jurisdiction are specifically targeted or monitored.
15. Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Fulfil the purposes for which it was collected;
Respond to and follow up on inquiries;

Retention periods may vary according to the type of information and the reason it was collected.
When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy or anonymize it, subject to applicable legal and technical limitations.
Information stored in backup systems may remain for a limited period until it is overwritten or securely deleted in accordance with backup procedures.

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information under our control.
These safeguards may include:
Secure website connections;
Access controls;
Password protections;
Restricted access based on business need;

19. Children’s Privacy
Our website and professional services are not directed to children for independent use.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children without appropriate involvement or authorization from a parent, guardian or other authorized adult.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information.
21. Do-Not-Track Signals
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. There is currently no universally accepted standard governing how websites should respond to these signals.
We may not respond automatically to browser Do-Not-Track signals. Visitors may manage cookies and tracking through our cookie controls, when implemented, and through browser, device and platform settings.
22. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:
- Our website;
- Our technology providers;

We may use AI-assisted tools to improve internal administrative, marketing, or drafting processes. Personal information is only processed through such tools where appropriate safeguards have been implemented, and AI-generated content is reviewed by authorized personnel before use. AI does not replace professional immigration advice.
