Valdra — Canuckt Synergy Solutions Inc. Version 1.1 · Effective 29 August 2026
These are the third parties that may process customer personal information on our behalf. We give 30 days' notice before adding or replacing any of them, as set out in section 5 of our Data Processing Agreement.
Transactional email moved from Brevo to Postmark (AC PM LLC). Sign-in links, notifications, contract delivery and privacy-request correspondence are now sent by Postmark. Brevo remains in use only for our own marketing email and no longer carries transactional messages or customer compliance records.
This change was made in production before this list was updated, which is not the sequence section 5 of our Data Processing Agreement describes. We are telling you plainly rather than quietly reissuing the list. Customers under a DPA are being notified directly.

This is the question customers ask most, so we answer it directly.
Your records live in Canada. The services above that operate outside Canada process data in transit — an email being delivered, an AI request being answered, an error report being filed — rather than acting as a store of your compliance records.
Where a sub-processor is outside Canada, personal information is protected by contractual commitments with that provider, and we assess each one before engagement, as required by PIPEDA Principle 4.1.3.
If your organisation requires that no personal information be processed outside Canada, tell us. AI features and outbound email are the two areas affected, and both can be restricted on your account.
Shielk is our own PII detection and redaction engine, operated by Canuckt Synergy Solutions Inc. on the same Canadian infrastructure. It is not a third party, and no customer data is transferred outside our control when it is used.
Material changes are notified to account administrators by email at least 30 days in advance. The current version is always available from us on request, and is provided with our Data Processing Agreement.
