5. Health Information and PHIPA
Some of the information we handle is personal health information ("PHI") as defined under PHIPA, including treatment records, health histories, clinical notes, and MVA-related documentation.
Where WELLBLOC collects, maintains, or controls personal health information in connection with services coordinated through our platform, WELLBLOC acts as the health information custodian or as otherwise permitted under applicable health privacy laws. Therapists and providers may also have independent professional and regulatory obligations regarding records, consent, documentation, and privacy. Where applicable, therapists and providers may act as agents of WELLBLOC for the purpose of collecting, using, and documenting personal health information required to deliver care.
We collect, use, and disclose PHI only: with your express consent, or as required for the provision of care; as authorized by you for insurance billing, claim coordination, or referral purposes; as required by law, regulatory authority, or court order; or in a medical emergency where consent cannot reasonably be obtained.
Therapist and provider access to client information. Therapists and providers may receive access to client intake forms, consent forms, booking information, or health information only where reasonably necessary to assess, prepare for, or deliver services. If a therapist or provider receives access to information for a client they do not ultimately treat, they remain required to keep that information confidential and may not copy, retain, use, disclose, or contact the client using that information except as directed by WELLBLOC, required by law, or required by applicable professional obligations.
PHI is not used for marketing purposes. You may withdraw consent for the
collection and use of PHI at any time, subject to legal and regulatory
obligations that may require us to retain certain records. Withdrawal of consent
may affect our ability to provide some or all services.
Clinical records are retained in accordance with applicable professional standards
and regulatory requirements. See Section 10 for retention periods.
---
6. Sharing Your Information
We share personal information only as necessary to provide services, comply with
the law, or as otherwise described in this policy. We do not sell personal
information.
We may share your information with the following categories of recipients:
Service providers and technology partners: companies that help us operate our
platforms, process payments, manage bookings, send communications, and store data.
These include payment processors, CRM providers, booking and scheduling platforms,
form and survey tools, accounting software, and communication tools. These
partners are contractually required to protect your information and use it only
for the purposes we specify.
Healthcare and claims partners: insurers, adjusters, occupational therapists,
case managers, and legal representatives involved in your care coordination or MVA
claim, as authorized by you.
HCAI: where you have consented to MVA billing through HCAI, we share treatment
plans, provider information, and billing data as required for claims processing.
Credential and screening providers: third-party services used to verify
provider credentials, college registration, and professional standing.
Regulatory bodies and professional colleges: where required to verify provider
credentials, respond to complaints, or comply with professional oversight
obligations.
Law enforcement and government authorities: where required by law, court order,
or to prevent or investigate fraud, safety risks, or other unlawful activity.
Business successors: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or
sale of substantially all of our business or assets, subject to appropriate
confidentiality and privacy protections.

7. Cross-Border Transfers
Some of our service providers and technology partners are located outside Canada,
including in the United States. Your personal information may be transferred to,
stored in, or processed in a jurisdiction other than Canada.
When your information is handled outside Canada, it is subject to the laws of that
jurisdiction, which may differ from Canadian privacy law. We take reasonable steps
to ensure that cross-border transfers are governed by contractual protections
consistent with PIPEDA.
Our key technology partners that may process data outside Canada include
(representative, not exhaustive): payment processing, CRM, marketing
communications, form and survey tools, accounting and payroll, and scheduling and
automation platforms. Where specific partners are material to your use of our
services, we will disclose them on request.
Where personal health information is collected or stored in connection with
clinical services, WELLBLOC takes reasonable steps to ensure that such
information is stored on servers located in Canada where practicable.
---
8. Marketing and CASL
We send two types of communications:
Transactional messages: booking confirmations, reminders, receipts, intake
forms, support responses, and service-related updates. These are sent as necessary
to provide services and do not require separate marketing consent.
Marketing messages: promotional offers, newsletters, seasonal campaigns,
membership updates, and new service announcements. These are sent only where you
have provided consent in accordance with applicable CASL requirements.
You may withdraw consent to marketing messages at any time by:
- clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email;
- replying STOP to any marketing SMS; or
- contacting us at support@wellbloc.ca.
Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect your ability to receive
transactional messages related to active bookings, memberships, or claims.

resolution and legal compliance

patient reaches the age of majority plus ten (10) years, or as otherwise
required by the applicable college's standards — WELLBLOC will follow the
longer of the applicable college standard or any legal requirement

a minimum of seven (7) years thereafter, or as required by applicable law

In the event of a privacy breach that creates a real risk of significant harm to
an individual, we will:
- notify the affected individual(s) as soon as reasonably possible;
- report the breach to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada as
required under PIPEDA;
- maintain a record of all privacy breaches, whether or not notification is
required; and

For health information breaches involving PHI, we will also comply with applicable
PHIPA notification obligations to the Information and Privacy Commissioner of
Ontario. Where required, we may also notify the applicable professional college
or regulatory body.

contractors, and service partners who become aware of an actual or suspected

notify WELLBLOC promptly at privacy@wellbloc.ca and must cooperate with
containment, investigation, notification, and remediation steps as directed
