The Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices on the GPT website, www.globalte.com (the “Website”).

COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We process your personal information only when a valid legal basis exists, such as to fulfill a contract, comply with legal obligations, protect our legitimate interests, or where you have provided explicit consent. The table below outlines our collection, lawful bases, and standard data retention parameters:

CONTACT US:

When you contact us with a comment, question or complaint, you may be asked for information that identifies you such as your name, address, email address and telephone number along with additional information we may need to help us promptly answer your question or respond to your comment or complaint. We may retain this information to assist you in the future and to improve our customer service and product and service offerings. We also use personal information to establish and manage our relationship with you and provide quality service.

DISCLOSURE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION:

We will not disclose, trade, rent, sell or otherwise transfer your personal information without your consent, except as otherwise set out herein.

SERVICE PROVIDERS:

Your personal information may be transferred (or otherwise made available) to our affiliates and other third parties who provide services on our behalf. Our service providers are given the information they need to perform their designated functions and are not authorized to use or disclose personal information for their own marketing or other purposes.

Your personal information may be maintained and processed by us, our affiliates and other third-party service providers in the US or other jurisdictions. In the event personal information is transferred to the US or other foreign jurisdiction, it will be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and may be disclosed to or accessed by the courts, law enforcement and governmental authorities in accordance with those laws.

LEGAL/COMPLIANCE:

GPT, its affiliates and its Canadian, US and other foreign service providers may provide your personal information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to another organization for the purposes of investigating a breach of an agreement or contravention of law or detecting, suppressing or preventing fraud, or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable Canadian, US or other law. Your personal information may also be disclosed where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and to investigate or prevent actual or suspect loss or harm to persons or property.

SALE OF BUSINESS:

Personal information may be provided to third parties in connection with a merger or sale (including transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings) involving all or part of GPT or as part of a corporate reorganization or stock sale or other change in corporate control, including for the purpose of determining whether to proceed or continue with such transaction or business relationship.

SUPPLEMENTAL PRIVACY NOTICE FOR UNITED STATES RESIDENTS:

For the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and other applicable US state privacy laws, GPT explicitly states:

• No Sale or Sharing of Personal Information: We do not sell your personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration, nor do we share your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising.
• No Sensitive Data Processing: We do not collect, process, or store sensitive personal information (such as government identifiers, financial account access keys, or precise geolocation data).
• Notice at Collection: We collect the categories of personal information outlined in our data processing matrix above solely for the business purposes described.
