International Information
Facilisgroup is a multi-national organization. Our parent company is in the United Kingdom, and we have entities in the United States and Canada. This policy applies to the United States and Canadian entities, only.
We utilize data segregation techniques to locally store your information. For example, if your relationship with our company is through our Canadian entity, we store your data in Canada. If your interaction with us is through our United States entity, the data is stored in the United States. While the data is segregated by country, Facilisgroup employees in Canada and the United States may have access to data in both countries. This means that if you are in Canada, an employee in the United States may have access to your information and may access your information in the United States, and if you are in the United States, a Canadian employee may have access to your information and access it in Canada.
As mentioned above in the “Disclosure of your Information” section, we may disclose your information to our vendors, consultants, and service providers. These organizations are in both the United States and in Canada. If you are a United States resident, we may disclose information to one of our vendors, consultants, or service providers located in Canada. Similarly, if you are a Canadian resident, your information may be disclosed to our United States-based vendors, service providers, or consultants. As mentioned in the “Disclosure of your Information” section, we take measures to ensure that your information is afforded protections when it is disclosed to these entities, including entering into agreements that require the receiving organization to keep the information confidential and to only use it for the purposes for which we instruct.
