Data Storage

[sparkerORCA]

I am just a little unclear about an issue with Data Storage. Could someone please help?

"Where we send your information

We are a Canadian company, but we work with and process data about individuals across the world. To operate our business, we may send your personal information outside of your state, province, or country, including to the United States. This data may be subject to the laws of the countries where we send it. We take steps to protect your information when we send your information across borders."

I would like to know why this would be done if I am a Canadian company, and will only deal with Canadian customers.

Thank you
