When personal information is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, Summit will destroy, delete, erase or convert it into an anonymous form. If we learn that we have unintentionally stored personal information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to anonymize or purge this information.  

Summit stores its information primarily in the cloud, with databases hosted on servers located in Canada. Any physical (paper) copies are stored locally within the office to which they belong. You may request information from Summit on the jurisdictions in which Summit and/or its service providers will process and store personal information.

Upon your written request and subject applicable law and certain exceptions to your right of access, including if the information requested contains personal information of other persons, or for legal reasons, we will provide access to the personal information requested and correct or amend personal information that is shown to be factually inaccurate or incomplete.
