No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Section 11 describes what happens if a security incident occurs despite these measures.

Your Rights & Cookies

What you can ask for, and how tracking technologies work on OCSAPP.

6.1 Access, Correction, and Portability

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or outdated information
  • Receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used technological format, so you can use it elsewhere

6.2 Marketing Opt-Out - unsubscribe from promotional emails via the link in each email; update your communication preferences in your account settings.

6.3 Account Deletion - you may request account deletion by contacting privacy@ocsapp.ca. We may retain certain information after deletion for legal, tax, and accounting purposes as described in Section 12; a deleted account cannot be recovered.

7.Cookies and Tracking Technologies

7.1 What Cookies We Use

  • Essential Cookies: required for the Platform to function (session management, security)
  • Functional Cookies: remember your preferences (language, delivery zone, cookie consent choice)

OCSAPP does not currently use third-party analytics or advertising cookies. If this changes, this section and OCSAPP's Cookie Policy will be updated before any such cookies are deployed. See the full cookie inventory at ocsapp.ca/cookies.

7.2 Managing Cookies - you can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies may affect some Platform functionality, but will not prevent you from using core features.

8.Children's Privacy

The Platform is not intended for individuals under the age of majority in Québec (18 years old) as a Buyer, consistent with the Buyer Terms of Service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, contact privacy@ocsapp.ca immediately and we will take steps to remove it.

Where Your Data Goes & Automated Decisions

International transfers, and the automated fault-determination system behind Dynamic Chargebacks.

9.International Data Transfers

9.1 OCSAPP's own infrastructure and hosting are based in Canada. However, certain third-party service providers we rely on may process personal information outside Canada, including in the United States:

ProviderPurposeLocation of Processing
StripePayment processingMay process data in the United States
PayPalPayment processing (alternative method)May process data in the United States
AWS (Amazon Web Services)Cloud hostingHosted in a Canadian AWS region where available

9.2 Where information is processed outside Canada, it may be accessible to the courts, law enforcement, and national security authorities of that jurisdiction under its laws. We select service providers that maintain appropriate contractual and technical safeguards.

10.Automated Decision-Making

10.1 OCSAPP uses an automated process to determine fault on certain claims - for example, whether a shortage, damage, or delivery discrepancy originated with a Seller or Supplier before pickup, or occurred in transit - using photo and scan evidence collected at pickup and delivery (the "Dynamic Chargeback" mechanism described in OCSAPP's Returns & Refund Policy). Where this determination results in a deduction from a Seller's, Supplier's, or Driver's payout, this is a decision made exclusively by automated means that may significantly affect you.

10.2 Where this applies to you, you have the right to: request an explanation of the factors and criteria used to reach the determination; submit observations or additional evidence for consideration; and request that a human reviewer examine the determination, through the dispute process already described in your Role-Specific Agreement (typically a 5-business-day window from the determination).

10.3 OCSAPP does not use automated decision-making to determine platform access, account eligibility, or pricing on an individualized basis - those are governed by the fixed, published terms in your Role-Specific Agreement.

If Something Goes Wrong

Breach notification, how long we keep your data, and who to contact.

11.Data Breach Notification

11.1 If a confidentiality incident occurs that presents a risk of serious injury to you - including unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of your personal information - we will notify the Commission d'accès à l'information (CAI) and you, without undue delay, describing the nature of the incident, the information involved, and the steps taken to address it.

11.2 OCSAPP maintains an internal register of confidentiality incidents, whether or not a given incident meets the threshold for notification, as required by Law 25.

12.Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide the Platform, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Final Provisions

Third-party links, changes to this policy, applicable law, and consent.

14.Third-Party Links

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites. OCSAPP is not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites, and encourages you to review their privacy policies before providing any information.

15.Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date and, where required by law, disclosed to you directly with reasonable advance notice. Continued use of the Platform after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance, except where applicable law requires your affirmative consent.

16.Applicable Legislation

This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with:

  • Québec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, as amended by Law 25 (Bill 64);
  • The federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA); and
  • Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), as it relates to electronic marketing communications.

17.Consent

17.1 By creating an account or using the Platform, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy, to the extent consent is the applicable legal basis for a given use.

17.2 Where Law 25 requires a more specific or express form of consent for a particular use (for example, certain marketing communications or the use of sensitive information), we will seek that consent separately, rather than relying on this general acknowledgment alone.

This document is effective as of the date it is published to ocsapp.ca/privacy, and supersedes the version dated March 2, 2026 ("Version 3").
