1. Introduction
Adiuvo ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website adiuvo.ca and the Adiuvo platform (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you use our Service.
We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Ontario's applicable privacy legislation, and Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide and maintain the Service — including account creation, authentication, subscription management, and customer support
- To improve and enhance the Adiuvo platform — usage patterns and interaction data are analyzed to produce stronger, more accurate results across all platform tools and AI-powered features
- To process transactions — billing, invoicing, and payment processing through Stripe
- To communicate with you — service announcements, security alerts, billing notifications, and responses to your inquiries
- To ensure security and prevent fraud — detecting unauthorized access, abuse, or violations of our Terms of Service

Platform improvement: Data you provide and generate while using the Service may be used in aggregate or anonymized form to train, calibrate, and improve the AI models and algorithms that power the Adiuvo platform. This ensures the platform continuously delivers more accurate and relevant results for all users.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (PIPEDA)
Under PIPEDA, we process your personal information based on the following lawful grounds:
- Consent — You provide consent when you create an account, submit information through forms, or use our Service
- Contractual necessity — Processing necessary to fulfil our obligations under the Terms of Service and any subscription agreements
- Legitimate interests — Improving the platform, preventing fraud, and ensuring security, where such interests are not overridden by your privacy rights
- Legal compliance — Where required by Canadian federal or provincial law
5. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your information with:
- Service providers — Third-party vendors who assist in operating the Service (e.g., Stripe for payments, cloud hosting providers). These providers are contractually required to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
- Legal authorities — When required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental regulation, or to protect our rights, property, or safety
- Business transfers — In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. If you close your account, we will retain your data for a reasonable period to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

- Preference cookies — Remember your settings and preferences
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.
8. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL), secure server infrastructure, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
