Privacy Policy

Who we are

World Trade Developers Inc. organizes Canada Gateway Expo 2027. This policy covers information submitted through our website, registration and invitation-letter processes, correspondence, and event participation.

Information we collect

Depending on your interaction, we may collect name, contact details, company and role, participation category, registration and payment status, professional interests, correspondence and accessibility requests. International participant verification may require passport details, travel plans and supporting identity or business documents. Website use may generate technical data such as IP address, browser and cookie information. Payment providers process payment details through their own systems.

Why we use it

• Process registrations, payments, confirmations, badges and event access.
• Verify identity, company details and invitation-letter eligibility; prevent fraud and document misuse.
• Communicate logistics, changes and responses to inquiries.
• Arrange relevant sessions and introductions where requested.
• Maintain site security, meet legal obligations and keep necessary records.
• Send optional marketing where permitted and subject to applicable consent and unsubscribe choices.

Sharing and service providers

Information may be shared as necessary with payment processors, website and email providers, event registration and venue personnel, professional advisers, and authorities when legally required. Relevant professional information may be shared for a meeting or introduction you request. Service providers should use information for the contracted purpose and protect it appropriately. We do not publish passport documents.

Cookies, analytics and external links

The website may use essential cookies and analytics or other third-party tools to operate, secure and understand the site. Your browser settings may let you limit cookies. Linked third-party sites, including government and payment websites, have their own privacy practices.

Retention and safeguards

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for event administration, legal, accounting, security and dispute-resolution purposes, then delete or de-identify it as appropriate. Access to sensitive records should be restricted to authorized personnel and approved providers. No online transmission or storage method is completely secure.

Your choices and requests

You may ask about access, correction, withdrawal of optional marketing consent or deletion where applicable. Some records must be retained to meet legal or contractual duties. Email info@canadagatewayexpo.ca with enough detail to verify and process your request. We may update this policy and post the revised version here.
