7. When and how do we obtain your consent?
We obtain your consent prior to collecting, and in any case, prior to using or disclosing your Personal Information for any purpose. You may provide your consent to us either orally, electronically or in writing. The form of consent that we seek, including whether it is express or implied, will largely depend on the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the reasonable expectations you might have in the circumstances. Implied consent occurs when we can assume you have given consent by some other action you have taken or decided not to take. For example, if you request specific information about an Offering or otherwise use our services and you provide us with Personal Information, we infer that you consent to us using such Personal Information reasonably to provide this information or provide you with the service. In limited circumstances, we may rely on a third party to obtain your consent to the sharing of your Personal Information with us.

Under Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, as a user of the Fundscraper services we have your implied consent to send you electronic messages unless you notify us otherwise. You may do this by using the unsubscribe feature we include in any electronic message we send you or by modifying your user account profile.
