When you join Cost > Why Letters, we may maintain records reasonably necessary to manage your subscription and demonstrate your consent, including subscription status, confirmation status, unsubscribe status, and information associated with how consent was obtained.

2. WHY WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use personal information to:

3. COST > WHY LETTERS

Joining Cost > Why Letters is voluntary.

The Cost > Why Letters signup process uses an affirmative consent step and double opt-in confirmation.

After submitting the signup form, you must confirm your email address before your Cost > Why Letters subscription becomes active.

The Carried Why is delivered after that confirmation.

You may withdraw your consent and unsubscribe from Cost > Why Letters at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in our emails.

You may also contact us directly at letters@costwhy.com.

We use service providers to operate parts of costwhy.com and the Cost > Why Letters system.

Hostinger provides services that may include website hosting, business email, and Hostinger Reach, which is used to manage Cost > Why Letters subscriptions, confirmation, delivery, and unsubscribe status.

These providers may process personal information on our behalf in order to provide their services.

Depending on the service and infrastructure involved, personal information may be processed or stored outside Canada and may therefore be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where it is processed.

UIM IP HOLDINGS INC. remains responsible for personal information under its control.

5. WE DO NOT SELL PERSONAL INFORMATION

7. SAFEGUARDS

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. ACCESS, CORRECTION, AND WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT
