Privacy and Information Security Policy
When you use our services, you’re trusting us with your information. We understand this is a big responsibility and work hard to protect your information.

We are committed to respecting the personal privacy of individuals who visit this website. We respect your time and promise to stick to our no-spam and no-up-sales policy.
Why do we collect personal information?
“Personal Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. We only use your personal information for the purpose of providing you with the GCMS, CBSA, CSIS or Entire File.
We do not sell our users’ personal information to any third party in exchange for monetary consideration. And, we have no intention of doing so in the future!
What personal information do we collect?
We only collect personal information that is directly related to providing you with the GCMS, CBSA, CSIS or Entire File. We collect the minimal amount of information required which includes your name, date of birth, email address, UCI, File number and visa type.
We do not require a copy of your passport to process your order; however, in rare circumstances, IRCC may request a copy once they begin processing your order. We will notify you via email if IRCC makes a request for a copy of your passport.
We NEVER store your credit card or payment information.
Who sees your personal information?
Access to your personal information is restricted to only two staff members within our organisation who need the information to process your order.
We offer you peace of mind when you use our services because we will NEVER sell or trade your information for commercial purposes.
How we protect your personal information
In any organization, failure to protect personal information can increase the risk of a privacy breach. These privacy breaches can lead to things such as reputational harm, fraud or identity theft.
We use exceptionally strong safeguards to protect the privacy of all our records, including your personal information. These strong safeguards are designed to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, theft, copying, use or modification to your personal information. Technical measures include passwords, audit trails, SSL encryption, firewalls and other technical security safeguards. Furthermore, we conduct periodic audits to ensure the security of all the services.
For credit card transactions we operate exclusively with PCI compliant payment processors like PayPal.com and never store your credit card information.
Our business is based on trust and transparency and we are committed to keeping your information safe and secure.
Consent form
The consent form you provide us to order your GCMS, CBSA, CSIS or Entire File is NOT reused if you chose to re-order your file at a later date. To be compliant with industry standards for managing personal information we will need a new consent form each time you place an order with us.
Retention and destruction of personal information
We erase or destroy the records containing personal information when they are no longer required; this is always done in ways that will ensure your continued privacy. After 30 days your GCMS, CBSA, CSIS or Entire file is removed from our server for your security.
Cookies
In building our website we do NOT store cookies in your browser. There are third-party services we use with this ability; these services include PayPal.com.
Fraud prevention
The fight against fraud starts with you.
Email fraud often called phishing, typically involves the use of deceptive emails that ask you to provide sensitive personal or financial information. Deep Visa & Immigration Services will never ask you to provide your banking, credit or debit card information or any other sensitive financial information in response to an email. If you receive an email that appears to be from Deep Visa & Immigration Services and you’re not sure if it’s real, don’t click on any links in the email. Please forward us any email that you suspect may be fraudulent. We take any attempts to fraudulently use our brand very seriously.
Changes to our policy
We may need to change this policy from time to time and all updates will be posted online.
