Visiting External Websites and Third-Party Resources
The platform may contain links to external websites or third-party online resources that are not owned or operated by Olympia. Once a user navigates away from the platform by following such a link, Olympia has no control over the content, data collection practices, or privacy standards of those external sites. Users who visit third-party websites do so at their own discretion and are responsible for reviewing the privacy policies of those websites independently. Olympia accepts no liability for how personal information may be collected, stored, or processed by external resources, nor for any outcomes arising from a user’s interaction with those sites.
Complaints and Dispute Resolution for Canadian Users
Canadian users who have concerns about how their personal data has been handled are encouraged to contact the Olympia support team directly through the platform’s designated support channels. Upon receiving a complaint, the team will review the matter and aim to provide a written response within approximately 30 days, though timelines may vary depending on the complexity of the issue. If a complaint cannot be resolved through direct communication, users have the right to escalate the matter to the applicable regulatory authority in their province or, where relevant, to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, which oversees compliance with federal privacy legislation.
