Welcome to PizzaPizza's privacy policy. This document explains how we collect, use, protect, and share your personal information when you interact with our culinary education platform focused on food plating and presentation techniques.

This policy applies to all users of pizza-piza.top, participants in our learning programs, newsletter subscribers, and anyone who contacts us through our various communication channels. We operate under Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

By using our services, you acknowledge that you've read and understood how we handle your personal information. We believe in transparency and will always explain what we're doing with your data in plain language.

We collect different types of information to provide and improve our culinary education services:

• Account information when you create a profile on our platform
• Learning progress and course completion data
• Communication preferences and feedback you provide
• Technical information like IP address, browser type, and device information
• Website usage patterns and interaction data through cookies
• Photos or videos you submit for course assignments (with your consent)

We only collect information that's necessary for delivering our educational services or improving your learning experience. You can always ask us what specific information we have about you.

Your information helps us create a better learning experience and maintain our educational platform effectively:

We never use your personal information for purposes you haven't agreed to. If we want to use your data differently in the future, we'll ask for your permission first.

We're selective about who we share your information with and only do so when necessary:

We may share your information in these specific situations:

• With payment processors to handle course enrollment fees securely
• With email service providers to send you course updates and newsletters (only if you've opted in)
• With our hosting and technical service providers who help maintain our platform
• With legal authorities if required by Canadian law or to protect our rights
• With professional advisors like lawyers or accountants under confidentiality agreements

All third-party service providers sign contracts requiring them to protect your information and use it only for the specific services they provide to us.

Under Canadian privacy law, you have several important rights regarding your personal information:

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below. We'll respond within 30 days and won't charge you for reasonable requests. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

We take protecting your personal information seriously and use multiple layers of security:

• SSL encryption for all data transmission between your device and our servers
• Secure, encrypted storage for all personal information in our databases
• Regular security audits and updates to our systems and software
• Limited access controls - only authorized staff can access personal information
• Secure payment processing through PCI-compliant payment processors
• Regular backups stored in secure, geographically distributed locations

While we implement strong security measures, no system is completely immune to threats. We continuously monitor and improve our security practices to stay ahead of potential risks.

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary for legitimate business purposes:

When we delete your information, we ensure it's completely removed from our active systems and backups. Some information may remain in de-identified form for statistical purposes, but this cannot be linked back to you personally.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and help us understand how visitors use our site:

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality, but you'll still be able to access our core educational content and services.

We don't use advertising cookies or share cookie data with advertising networks. Our focus is on improving your learning experience, not tracking you across the web.

While PizzaPizza operates primarily in Canada, some of our service providers may store or process data in other countries:

• Email service providers may process data in the United States under privacy shield agreements
• Payment processors operate across multiple jurisdictions with equivalent privacy protections
• Cloud backup services may temporarily store encrypted data in secure facilities outside Canada
• Customer support tools may be hosted in countries with adequate privacy protections

When we transfer data internationally, we ensure adequate protection through contractual safeguards, certification programs, or transfers to countries with privacy laws equivalent to Canada's standards.

You have the right to know where your data is processed and can request that we limit international transfers where technically feasible.

We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Here's how we handle policy updates:

• Material changes will be communicated via email to all registered users
• Minor updates will be posted on our website with an updated "last modified" date
• Significant changes affecting your rights will require your explicit consent
• We'll maintain an archive of previous policy versions for reference

We recommend reviewing this policy periodically, especially before enrolling in new courses or updating your account preferences. If you have questions about any changes, don't hesitate to contact us for clarification.
