Tendi Company and its affiliates are committed to maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes the personal information that Tendi Company collects from or about you, how we use, and to whom we disclose that information. Please review this entire document carefully.
What Is Personal Information?
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, personal information is any information about an identifiable individual, other than an individual’s business contact information when collected, used or disclosed for the purposes of enabling the individual to be contacted in relation to their business responsibilities.
What Personal Information Do We Collect?
We collect and maintain different types of personal information in respect of the individuals with whom we interact. This may include, for example, your:
contact and identification information, such as your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address; and
payment information (including, for example, credit card information).
We may also collect market-related information, which may include personal information, concerning market trends and activities impacting our business. This information may include contract terms, financial information and other information for the purpose of market analysis and strategic planning.
As a general rule, Tendi Company collects personal information directly from you. In most circumstances where the personal information that we collect about you is held by a third party, we will obtain your permission before we seek out this information from such sources (such permission may be given directly by you, or implied from your actions).
From time to time, we may utilize the services of third parties and may also receive personal information collected by those third parties in the course of the performance of their services for us or otherwise. Where this is the case, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that such third parties have represented to us that they have the right to disclose your personal information to us.
Where permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements, we may collect information about you without your knowledge or consent.

Why Do We Collect Personal Information?
Tendi Company collects personal information to enable us to manage, maintain, and develop our operations, including for example:
to establish, maintain and manage our relationship with you so that we may provide you with, or receive from you, the products and services that have been requested;
to be able to review the products and services that we provide to you so that we may: (i) understand your requirements for our products and services; and (ii) work to improve our products and services;
to send you promotional and other marketing materials that we think might be of interest to you;
to be able to review the products and services that we obtain from you so that we may work with you and so that you may understand our requirements for such products and services;

to be able to comply with your requests;
to protect Tendi Company against error, fraud, theft, and damage to our goods and property;
to enable us to comply with applicable laws or regulatory process; and
any other reasonable purpose to which you consent.
We may share Aggregated Information with third parties for the purposes of managing, maintaining, and developing our operations. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, “Aggregated Information” arises from the compilation, combination and/or analysis of information from multiple sources on an aggregated basis (so as to prevent identification of personal information relating to any one individual) in order to identify or create, for example, trends, benchmarks, reports, summary metrics, predictive algorithms, products and/or services.
How Do We Use and Disclose Your Personal Information?
We may use and disclose your personal information:
as permitted or required by applicable laws or regulatory requirements;
for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy; and
for any additional purposes for which we have obtained your consent to the use or disclosure of your personal information.
We may also use or disclose your personal information without your knowledge or consent where we are permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements to do so.
When Do We Disclose Your Personal Information?

For example, we may share your personal information from time to time with our third party information technology, data processing and payment processing service providers so that we may operate our business. As a result, your personal information may be collected, used, processed, stored or disclosed in, but not limited to, the United States and Canada. As such, your personal information may potentially be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities of that jurisdiction.
In addition, personal information may be disclosed or transferred to another party during the course of the grant of a security interest in Tendi Company assets, or completion of, all or a part of Tendi Company through, for example, an asset or share sale, or some other form of business combination, merger or joint venture, provided that such party is bound by appropriate agreements or obligations and required to use or disclose your personal information in a manner consistent with the use and disclosure provisions of this Privacy Policy, unless you consent otherwise.
Finally, your personal information may be disclosed:
as permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements;
to comply with valid legal processes such as search warrants, subpoenas or court orders;
as part of Tendi Company regular reporting activities to its affiliates;
to protect the rights and property of Tendi Company;
during emergency situations or where necessary to protect the safety of a person or group of persons; and
with your consent.
Your Consent Is Important to Us
It is important to us that we collect, use or disclose your personal information where we have your consent to do so. Depending on the sensitivity of the personal information, your consent may be implied, deemed (using an opt-out mechanism) or express. Express consent can be given orally, electronically or in writing. Implied consent is consent that can reasonably be inferred from your action or inaction. For example, when you enter into an agreement with us, we will assume your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for purposes related to the performance of that agreement and for any other purposes identified to you at the relevant time.
Typically, we will seek your consent at the time that we collect your personal information. In certain circumstances, your consent may be obtained after collection but prior to our use or disclosure of your personal information. If we plan to use or disclose your personal information for a purpose not previously identified (either in this Privacy Policy or separately), we will endeavor to advise you of that purpose before such use or disclosure.
As we have described above, we may collect, use or disclose your personal information without your knowledge or consent where we are permitted or required to do so by applicable law or regulatory requirements.
Choice/Opt-Out
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual obligations and reasonable notice, by contacting our Privacy Officer using the contact information set out below. All communications with respect to such withdrawal or variation of consent should be in writing and addressed to our Privacy Officer. In certain circumstances, the withdrawal of consent may render us unable to continue to provide products or services where the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information is necessary to provide the product or service.
We assume that, unless you advise us otherwise, you have consented to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as explained in this Privacy Policy.
How Is Your Personal Information Protected?
Tendi Company endeavors to maintain physical, technical and procedural safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information in question. These safeguards are designed to prevent your personal information from loss and unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or destruction. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security: for example, (i) unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, (ii) hardware or software failure, and (iii) other events may compromise the security of your personal information at any time.
The security of your personal information is important to us, please advise our Privacy Officer immediately of any incident involving the loss of or unauthorized access to or disclosure of personal information that is in our custody or control.
