Canadian Users: PIPEDA

A2Z Dev Center is a Canadian business registered in Alberta. Our primary data protection obligations are governed by Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Under PIPEDA, we are committed to the following ten privacy principles:

We collect, use, and disclose personal information only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate given the circumstances. We obtain meaningful consent before or at the time we collect personal information, and we explain the purposes clearly. We limit collection to what is necessary for the identified purposes. We do not use or disclose personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with your consent or as required by law. We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the identified purposes. We protect personal information through appropriate security safeguards. We make this privacy policy readily available and inform you of our privacy practices upon request. We give you access to your personal information upon request, subject to applicable exceptions.

If you are a Canadian resident and wish to make a privacy-related request or complaint, please contact us at info@a2zdevcenter.com. If we are unable to resolve your concern satisfactorily, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca.

Note on Canada’s Bill C-27 (Consumer Privacy Protection Act): Canada’s proposed replacement for PIPEDA is currently progressing through Parliament as of 2026. We will update this policy when and as the Consumer Privacy Protection Act comes into force.
