This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) governs the websites we and our affiliates, subsidiaries, and related entities operate on which this Privacy Policy is provided and that are made available to individuals in Canada. We have developed this Privacy Policy to describe our practices concerning the collection, use, disclosure, transfer, and storage of your personal information about an identifiable individual as defined under applicable Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and substantially similar provincial laws (“Personal Information”). Our website may contain links to third-party websites, and we are not responsible for and expressly disclaim all liability arising from such third-party websites or their privacy practices. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may provide while on such third-party websites, and we recommend you review and become familiar with their privacy policies as well.

Ortho collects certain information that is considered “sensitive” under applicable Canadian privacy laws. Where required by law, we will obtain your express consent before processing your sensitive Personal Information; where consent is not required, we may process such information for the limited purposes described below and as otherwise permitted by law. We shall use your sensitive Personal Information solely for limited purposes, such as to process an application, to comply with legal obligations (e.g., payment processing, fraud prevention), and for other objectives expressly permitted by law. We do not use your sensitive Personal Information to infer characteristics about you. If you have any questions about our handling of sensitive Personal Information or to withdraw your consent, please see the “Contact Us” section below.
We have collected the following categories of sensitive Personal Information about you:
| Category | Example(s) | Source(s) | Purpose of Collection |

We, our service providers, and certain third parties use cookies, pixel tags, server or device logs, or similar tracking technologies (“Collection Technologies”) to gather certain information when you use, access, or otherwise interact with our Services, and we obtain your consent for non-essential cookies where required under Canadian law. Below we have described how we use Collection Technologies.
Our use of Collection Technologies generally falls into the following categories:
You can choose how web browser cookies are handled by your device via your browser settings or, where available, our consent management tools. Some devices allow you to control this through your device settings. If you choose not to receive cookies at any time, websites may not function properly, and certain services will not be provided. Each browser and device are different, so check the settings menu of the browser or device to learn how to change your settings and cookie preferences. You can find information on how to manage cookie settings on certain browsers via the following links:
The online advertising industry also provides websites from which you may opt out of receiving targeted ads from data partners and other advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs; however, exercising such choices does not opt you out of all advertising and may not affect non-cookie based tracking technologies. You can access these and learn more about targeted advertising and consumer choice and privacy by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance.
To the extent that our Collection Technologies involve targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising, or otherwise require consent or an opt-out under applicable law, you may exercise your rights and choices as follows (provided, however, that your choices are browser-, app-, and device-specific and may be reset by clearing cookies or changing settings):
Your Privacy Choices
Click on the "Your Privacy Choices " link in the footer of our website and adjust your preferences. Please note that your request to opt-out will be linked to your browser identifier only. If you use a different computer or browser to access our website, you will need to adjust your preferences on those sites.
Browser-Based Preference
Some browsers and extensions may allow you to send preference signals regarding cookies or certain tracking. Where required by applicable law and where technically feasible, we will take reasonable steps to honor such signals for non-essential cookies or similar technologies; you may also manage your preferences through your browser settings and, where available, our consent management tools.
Do Not Track
Some web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the do not track signal, we currently do not respond to the browser do not track signals; however, we will honor applicable opt-out preference signals recognized by Canadian guidance where required by law.
You may opt out of receiving text messages or promotional emails from Ortho by following the instructions in those communications, or by contacting us using the methods listed in the “Contact Us” section; we will process such requests without undue delay. If you opt out, we may still send you transactional or relationship messages, such as those about your account, orders, compliance notices, safety communications, recall information, or our ongoing business relations.
We disclose the following categories of Personal Information to our service providers and, where permitted by law, to “contractors” and “third parties” for legitimate business purposes, including maintaining and servicing accounts, providing customer support, processing transactions and payments, verifying customer information, managing marketing and analytics activities, and ensuring the functionality, security, and improvement of our websites and systems, subject to contractual obligations prohibiting use outside our instructions.
Identifiers: We disclose identifiers such as names, contact information, account credentials, and IP addresses to facilitate account management, order fulfillment, communication, fraud prevention, and website security.

Commercial Information: We disclose commercial information such as purchase history, product preferences, and transaction records to enable order fulfillment, returns, accounting, inventory management, marketing, and analytics that support business operations and product improvement.
Cookie and Tracker Information: We disclose cookie and tracker data, including device identifiers and browsing behavior, to support analytics, advertising, and website optimization that help us understand user engagement, improve performance, and enhance security.

In addition, we may disclose Personal Information for specific purposes such as:
We take the security of your Personal Information seriously and maintain a comprehensive information security program reasonably designed to protect Personal Information, comprising risk assessments, access controls, encryption in transit and at rest where appropriate, vulnerability management, incident response, and vendor security due diligence.

Additionally, we train our employees about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your information. We commit to taking appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce our employees' privacy responsibilities.
We retain your Personal Information for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, and we apply a retention schedule that limits retention to the shortest period reasonably necessary, after which Personal Information is securely deleted or de-identified and maintained subject to re-identification prohibitions), except where a longer period is required or permitted by law or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. This generally means holding the personal information for as long as:
Where Personal Information is used for more than one purpose, we will retain it until the purpose with the latest period expires.

We may engage in interest-based advertising and may disclose certain information to advertising and analytics partners, subject to your consent where required by applicable law, and you may manage your choices as described in “Managing Your Cookie Preferences” and “Your Privacy Choices.” Additionally, our Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children without valid consent from a parent or legal guardian (or other authorized representative, as applicable), and we apply heightened protections to children’s information as required by applicable law. You may observe our advertisements on other websites or mobile applications because we utilize third-party ad services on our Services, which may collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites and apps; these third parties may maintain their own privacy policies and controls over which we have no control and for which we disclaim responsibility.
