Privacy Policy
How Mexralton Wex protects and manages your personal information
Effective Date: January 15, 2025
Introduction and Scope
At Mexralton Wex, we understand that your privacy matters deeply. This policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share your personal information when you visit our website at mexraltonwex.vip or engage with our investment motivation services.
We operate in compliance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws. Our commitment goes beyond legal requirements – we believe in transparent communication about how your data helps us serve you better.
This policy applies to all information collected through our website, email communications, phone conversations, and any other interactions with our team. When we say "personal information," we mean any data that can identify you as an individual.

- Phone number
- Mailing address
- Professional title and company
Financial Profile Data
- Investment experience level
- Financial goals and objectives

We collect this information when you fill out forms, subscribe to our newsletter, request consultations, participate in educational webinars, or simply browse our website. Most information is provided voluntarily, though some technical data is collected automatically to ensure our website functions properly.
How We Use Your Information
Your information helps us create meaningful connections and provide valuable investment education. We use your data for these specific purposes:
Educational Content Delivery: We customize our investment motivation content based on your experience level and interests. This means sending relevant articles, market insights, and educational resources that match your financial goals.
Consultation and Advisory Services: When you request guidance, we use your financial profile to prepare personalized recommendations and talking points for our conversations.
Communication and Updates: We send newsletters, market updates, and important announcements about our services. You can control the frequency and type of communications you receive.
Website Improvement: Technical data helps us understand how visitors use our site, which pages are most helpful, and where we can make improvements to serve you better.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Some information is maintained to meet Canadian financial services regulations and to protect both your interests and ours.
We never use your personal information for automated decision-making that could significantly impact your financial situation without human review and your explicit consent.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We take a conservative approach to sharing your information. Here's exactly when and how we might share your data:
Service Providers: We work with trusted companies that help us deliver our services – email platforms, website hosting, customer relationship management tools, and payment processors. These partners are contractually bound to protect your information and can only use it for the specific services they provide to us.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by Canadian law, court orders, or regulatory authorities. This includes compliance with tax reporting requirements, anti-money laundering regulations, or responding to lawful government requests.
Business Protection: In rare cases, we might share information to protect our legal rights, prevent fraud, or ensure the safety of our clients and staff.
We do not sell your personal information to marketers, data brokers, or other businesses. We don't share your financial profile with investment companies, banks, or other financial institutions without your explicit permission.
If we ever consider transferring our business or assets, we would notify you beforehand and ensure any new owners maintain the same privacy protections outlined in this policy.
Your Privacy Rights Under Canadian Law
As a Canadian resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. We're committed to honoring these rights promptly and completely:
Access Your Information
Request a copy of all personal information we have about you, including how we obtained it and how we've used it.
Correct Inaccuracies
Update or correct any information that's outdated, incomplete, or incorrect in our records.
Withdraw Consent
Stop us from using your information for specific purposes, though this may limit some services we can provide.
Request Deletion
Ask us to delete your information, subject to legal and regulatory requirements we must follow.
Limit Processing
Restrict how we use your information while we address any concerns or disputes you may have.
File Complaints
Contact the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe we've not handled your information properly.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information provided at the bottom of this policy. We'll respond within 30 days and may need to verify your identity to protect your privacy. If your request involves complex issues or large amounts of data, we may need additional time but will keep you informed of our progress.
Data Security and Protection
Protecting your information is fundamental to everything we do. We've implemented multiple layers of security based on industry best practices and Canadian regulatory standards:
Encryption
All data transmission uses SSL/TLS encryption, and sensitive information is encrypted when stored in our systems.
Access Controls
Only authorized team members can access your information, and access is limited to what's necessary for their specific role.
Monitoring
We continuously monitor our systems for unauthorized access attempts and regularly update our security protocols.
Backups
Regular backups ensure your information is protected against system failures, with backup data receiving the same security protections.
Our team receives regular training on privacy and security practices. We maintain incident response procedures and will notify you promptly if any security breach affects your personal information.
While we implement strong security measures, no system is completely immune to all risks. We encourage you to use strong passwords, keep your contact information updated, and notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
Data Retention and Deletion
We keep your information only as long as necessary to serve your needs and meet our legal obligations. Here's how long we typically retain different types of data:
| Information Type | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Contact Information | While you're an active client + 7 years | Relationship management and regulatory compliance |
| Financial Profile Data | While you're an active client + 7 years | Personalized service and compliance requirements |
| Communication Records | 7 years from last interaction | Legal protection and service quality |
| Website Analytics | 26 months | Website improvement and performance analysis |
| Marketing Preferences | Until you unsubscribe + 3 years | Compliance and preference management |
We review stored information annually to ensure we're not keeping data longer than necessary. When information reaches the end of its retention period, we securely delete it from our active systems and backups.
You can request earlier deletion of your information, though some data may need to be retained longer due to legal requirements in the financial services sector.
International Data Transfers
While Mexralton Wex operates from Canada, some of our technology partners and service providers may store or process data outside Canada. When this happens, we ensure your information receives equivalent protection:
Approved Countries: We only transfer data to countries that the Privacy Commissioner of Canada recognizes as having adequate privacy protections.
Contractual Safeguards: When working with service providers in other countries, we require them to sign agreements that provide the same privacy protections you would receive under Canadian law.
Limited Transfers: We minimize international data transfers and only share what's absolutely necessary for the specific service being provided.
Currently, some of our email marketing and website hosting services may involve data processing in the United States under companies that participate in recognized international privacy frameworks.
If you prefer that your information not be transferred outside Canada, please let us know. We'll work with you to find alternative arrangements, though this may limit some services we can provide.

Children's Privacy

If you're a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. We'll delete such information promptly and take steps to prevent future collection.
Our educational materials are intended for individuals who are legally able to enter into investment-related agreements in their jurisdiction.
