2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information solely on a voluntary basis when you submit inquiries through our online contact, land submission, or partnership forms. The categories of information collected include:

• Contact Information: Full name, organizational or company name, business/personal email address, telephone number, and municipal or regional location.
• Opportunity & Property Details: Municipality/region, approximate acreage, land type (e.g. workable farmland, pasture, idle land), transaction preference (sale, lease, joint venture), and high-level descriptions of agricultural or commercial proposals.
• Communications Data: Information contained in inquiry messages, correspondence history, and preferences regarding ongoing contact.
• Technical & Telemetry Data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and timestamp data captured solely for rate limiting, security verification, and bot mitigation.

3. Purpose of Collection & Lawful Basis

We process your information based upon your explicit consent and for legitimate business purposes associated with:

• Reviewing and responding to introductory inquiries regarding farmland, farming operations, supply arrangements, and agricultural technologies.
• Conducting preliminary due diligence and evaluating commercial suitability of proposed land parcels or business collaborations.
• Maintaining administrative records of correspondence and ensuring regulatory compliance with Canadian commercial legislation (including CASL).
• Protecting our digital infrastructure from malicious activity, denial-of-service attempts, and automated spam.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

VerdaNex does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may transmit information to vetted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our digital infrastructure, subject to strict confidentiality and data protection obligations:

• Hosting & Infrastructure: Secure cloud application hosting, content delivery networks (CDNs), and SSL encryption providers.
• Communication & Form Routing: Secure transactional email dispatchers and internal database logging.
• Professional Advisors: Qualified legal counsel, agronomists, and land surveyors engaged under confidential terms to evaluate verified opportunities.

5. Data Retention & Security

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or to comply with statutory and legal requirements. When inquiry records are no longer required, they are securely purged or anonymized.

We employ industry-standard technical and organizational security measures—including TLS 1.3 in-transit encryption, server-side parameter sanitization, rate-limiting safeguards, and restricted access controls—to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure.

6. Cookies & Measurement Technologies

Our website utilizes essential technical cookies required for website operation and security. If marketing or measurement tags (such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel) are configured in the future, they operate strictly within a consent-aware container, ensuring that no non-essential measurement cookies fire without your affirmative consent.

7. Your Statutory Privacy Rights

Under PIPEDA and applicable Canadian privacy legislation, you possess the right to:

• Request access to personal information held by VerdaNex about you.
• Request the correction or updating of inaccurate or outdated information.
• Withdraw your consent to ongoing communications at any time.
• Lodge an inquiry or concern regarding our data handling practices with our privacy officer or with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC).

To exercise any of these rights, please email us at inquiries@verdanex.ca.

8. Changes to this Policy

As VerdaNex advances through its development phases and deploys additional commercial operations, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly. Material updates will be posted to this page with an amended effective date.
