4. Marketing communications
Canary Trap may send business and marketing communications about our services, insights, assessments, events and related topics where permitted by applicable law.
For recipients in Canada, we may send commercial electronic messages where we have:
- Express consent
- A qualifying existing business relationship
- A qualifying inquiry or application that creates time-limited implied consent
- Another valid basis under Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation
When implied consent arises from an inquiry or application, it is generally time-limited. Canary Trap records the date and source of the qualifying interaction and manages the applicable consent period.
Submitting an inquiry, requesting an assessment, completing a lead-generation form, requesting a meeting or asking Canary Trap to contact you may permit us to send relevant follow-up communications for the period allowed by law.
For recipients in the United States, Canary Trap may send commercial email where permitted under applicable federal and state law.
Marketing messages will identify Canary Trap and provide a method to unsubscribe or manage communication preferences. You may unsubscribe at any time by using the link included in a marketing email or by contacting us. We may retain limited information in a suppression record to ensure that your request continues to be honoured.
Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent Canary Trap from sending non-marketing communications necessary to respond to an active request, administer a customer relationship, deliver services, provide security or legal notices, or complete another requested transaction.
5. Cookies, analytics and advertising
Canary Trap uses cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local-storage technologies and similar tools to operate the website, understand website use, measure campaigns, support our CRM, personalize experiences and conduct advertising.
These technologies may allow us and our service providers to:

- Remember preferences
- Understand website traffic and engagement
- Measure advertising conversions
- Associate website activity with a known contact
- Create or update advertising audiences
- Deliver advertising to previous website visitors
- Measure whether advertising resulted in an inquiry or other action
Additional information is available in our Cookie Notice. Where required, we request consent before using non-essential analytics, advertising or personalization technologies.

Where applicable, you may opt out through our Cookie Preferences or Your Privacy Choices link.
7. Cross-border processing
Canary Trap operates in Canada and the United States and uses service providers that may process information in Canada, the United States or other jurisdictions.
Personal information processed outside your province, state or country may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement agencies or other authorities as permitted by law.
