Any requests for your data or content by individuals, police or other regulatory agencies from within Canada or outside of Canada will always be referred to you. The only exception would be if this puts us in violation of Canadian or Ontario law; however, in all cases we will strenuously resist any release of your data by anyone but you. (see s.14 “What do you own?”).

Envoke security is only as good as your management of usernames and passwords. We don’t charge for Envoke user accounts so create a separate one for each user and keep passwords secret. You are responsible for your account. (see s.3 “How it works”)

You can cancel your account at any time. We do not provide refunds on any unused credit if you cancel. (see s.3 “How it works”)

We work hard to ensure Envoke is up and running at all times and to provide advance notice if we need to temporarily suspend the service for maintenance.

We also provide consulting services at higher rates. We reserve the right to change our rates at any time. (see s.6 “Product and Consulting Services”)

We will inform you if we believe there’s been a breach of your data and will make an effort to provide related details and information. (see s.14 “What do you own?”)
