This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") is used between Davila Financial Ltd. and any of our subsidiaries and affiliated companies ("we," "our," "us," or "Davila") and the user ("users", "you", "your") to describe our use of your personal information when you use our services and/or visit our website (the "Services") to the extent available in your jurisdiction.
We are firmly committed to safeguarding your personal information and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and security of all data collected from our website www.ortix.com. We process such data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and in line with the highest standards of privacy and security. This Policy is designed to provide you with a clear, comprehensive, and transparent understanding of our data practices. It outlines the types of personal data we collect, the lawful bases and purposes for which such data is processed, the methods by which it is collected and used, and the measures we implement to protect it. It further explains your rights in relation to your personal data and the manner in which you may exercise those rights. Therefore, we encourage you to read it carefully.
This Policy does not apply to the processing of personal information carried out by certain third parties, including, but not limited to, governmental authorities and other financial institutions. Such third parties act as independent data controllers and process your information in accordance with their own applicable privacy policies and legal obligations. Accordingly, we do not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of such third parties, and we strongly encourage you to review their respective privacy policies and to familiarize yourself with your rights and protections under those policies prior to engaging or interacting with them.
We may revise this Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our business, Services, or applicable laws. If the revised version requires notice in accordance with applicable law, we will provide you with 30 days' prior notice by posting notice of the change on our website, otherwise the revised Policy will be effective as of the published effective date.
We are committed to processing personal information in full compliance with all applicable data protection, anti-money laundering, and regulatory requirements.

Where applicable, we also comply with relevant provincial privacy legislation in Canada, including statutes deemed substantially similar to PIPEDA, as well as any other laws and regulations that may impose additional or more stringent requirements with respect to the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and safeguarding of Personal Information.
For the purposes of the GDPR, where it applies, we ensure that personal information is processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner, collected for specified and legitimate purposes, limited to what is necessary, kept accurate and up to date, retained only for as long as necessary, and protected through appropriate technical and organizational measures, in accordance with the core data protection principles set out therein.
