De-indexation: You have the right to request, in certain circumstances, that we cease disseminating your personal information or to de-index any hyperlink that allows access to that personal information by technological means, if such dissemination contravenes applicable law or a court order.
Withdrawal of consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent to our continued use or communication of your personal information. This will however not affect the lawfulness of any processing of your personal information prior to the time you withdraw your consent, nor does this create an obligation for us to delete your personal information if we are otherwise allowed to retain it under applicable Canadian Privacy Laws.

These rights may be limited, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, or if you ask us to delete information that we are required by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep.
