We'd be glad to discuss how we can help your organisation. Tell us a little about what you're working on and the right person will get back to you.
This policy explains how Sumptuous Data Sciences Inc. collects, uses, discloses and protects personal information, in line with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws.
Sumptuous Data Sciences Inc. ("Sumptuous", "we", "us") is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We are part of the Sumptuous Data Sciences group, headquartered in the USA (Sumptuous Data Sciences, LLC), with offshore delivery operations in India (Sumptuous Data Sciences Pvt. Ltd.). We are responsible for personal information under our control, and we have designated a Privacy Officer who is accountable for our compliance with this policy.
This policy covers personal information we collect through this website and in the course of business enquiries, recruitment, events and business relationships. It does not cover:
We do not ask for sensitive personal information, such as health information, through this website. Please do not include it in messages to us.
We identify the purposes for collecting personal information at or before the time of collection, and we only use it for those purposes or as permitted or required by law:
We do not sell personal information.
We collect, use and disclose personal information with your knowledge and consent, except where the law allows otherwise. Depending on the sensitivity of the information, consent may be express (for example, ticking a box or submitting a form) or implied (for example, providing your business card at an event). You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. If you withdraw consent, we may not be able to provide some services or respond to some requests.
In line with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), we only send commercial electronic messages, such as newsletters or promotional emails, where we have your express or implied consent. Every such message identifies us and includes a simple way to unsubscribe, and we act on unsubscribe requests within 10 business days.
We share personal information only where needed for the purposes above:
Because our group operates in Canada, the USA and India, and some of our service providers are located outside Canada, your personal information may be stored or processed outside Canada. While it is outside Canada, it is subject to the laws of that country and may be accessible to its courts, law enforcement and national security authorities. We use contractual and other measures to give your information a comparable level of protection while it is processed by our group companies and service providers.
We keep personal information only as long as needed to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law, and then securely destroy or anonymise it. Information used to make a decision about you is kept long enough for you to request access to it.
We protect personal information with safeguards appropriate to its sensitivity, including physical, organisational and technological measures such as access controls, encryption where appropriate and staff confidentiality obligations. If a breach of security safeguards creates a real risk of significant harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada as required by law.
You may ask to access the personal information we hold about you, learn how it has been used and disclosed, and ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate or incomplete. We will respond within 30 days, or tell you if we need more time as allowed by law. We may need to verify your identity before responding. In limited cases the law allows or requires us to refuse access, and we will explain why.
If you live in Quebec, you also have rights under Quebec's privacy law, including the right to be informed about and to control the use of technologies that identify, locate or profile you.
This website is intended for business and professional audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
For questions, access requests or concerns about our privacy practices, please contact our Privacy Officer through our contact form (choose "Privacy question"), or write to: Privacy Officer, Sumptuous Data Sciences Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca, or the privacy regulator in your province.
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised, and significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
This policy explains how Sumptuous Data Sciences Inc. uses cookies and similar technologies on sumptuous-ds.ca, how long your consent lasts, and how you can change or withdraw it.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, and help us understand how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in comparable ways. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of them.
Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies). Others may be set by services we use (third-party cookies). Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
We use cookies to keep this website working securely, to remember your cookie choices, and, only with your consent, to measure how visitors use the site and improve it. We do not use cookies to sell personal information.
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Duration | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core site functions, security, and storing your cookie preferences. | sds_consent | 12 months | Always on |
| Functional | Remember choices you make, such as form inputs or display preferences. | Preference cookies | Up to 12 months | Optional |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the site and where we can improve. Data is aggregated. | Web analytics cookies | Up to 24 months | Optional |
| Marketing | Show our LinkedIn posts and videos, and measure the effectiveness of our outreach. | Social media embeds (LinkedIn, YouTube) | Up to 12 months | Optional |
Optional cookies are only set after you allow them. If you decline, the website still works.
Under PIPEDA, and Quebec's privacy law for visitors in Quebec, we ask for your consent before setting any optional cookie, and optional cookies are off by default.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| When you come to the site | The cookie and privacy notice appears as soon as you arrive. Until you make a choice, only strictly necessary cookies are active. |
| When you make a choice | Your choice (Accept all, Reject optional, or your saved preferences) takes effect immediately and is stored in the sds_consent cookie with the date you gave it. |
| How long your choice lasts | 12 months. The notice still appears each time you arrive so you can review or change your choice; until you change it, your saved choice stays in effect. After 12 months it expires and we ask again. |
| When we ask again sooner | If we add new cookie categories or change how we use cookies, or if you clear your browser's cookies. |
| Withdrawing consent | You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through Cookie Settings, as easily as you gave it. The change applies from that moment. |
You can review, change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.
Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to decline optional cookies.
This website links to our product sites, our USA and India websites, and other external pages. Those sites may use their own cookies and are covered by their own policies.
We may update this policy as our website or the law changes. The "Last updated" date shows when it was last revised. Where a change affects the cookies we ask your consent for, we will ask you again.
Questions about this policy or our use of cookies can be sent through our contact form. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information more broadly.
