Last Updated: September 14, 2026
Our Commitment to Data Protection
radiant-vale is committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy rights. While our primary operations are based in Canada, we recognize the importance of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and apply its principles to protect the personal data of all our users, including those in the European Economic Area (EEA).
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data only when we have a legal basis to do so. The legal grounds we rely on include:
- Consent: When you have given explicit consent for us to process your personal data for specific purposes
- Contract Performance: When processing is necessary to fulfill a service contract with you
- Legitimate Interests: When we have legitimate business interests that do not override your rights and freedoms
- Legal Obligations: When we must process your data to comply with legal requirements
Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Access
You have the right to request copies of your personal data. We may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data under certain conditions, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to request that we transfer the data we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data under certain conditions, particularly when we process data based on legitimate interests.
Right to Withdraw Consent
When we process your data based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
