Bita Quantum AI Inc (“we”, “our”, “Company”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and disclose information about you when you visit our website bitaquantumai.com (the “Site”) or engage with our services. We operate in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations concerning the protection of personal information, including Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector (Loi sur la protection des renseignements personnels dans le secteur privé).

Personal Information
Personal information refers to information about an identifiable individual. It includes details that can be used to distinguish or identify a specific person, such as name, contact information, home address, email address, or employment history.

However, personal information does not include business contact information used solely to communicate with you in your professional capacity, such as your name, title or position, business address, or telephone number. Additionally, information that has been aggregated or anonymized so that it cannot be linked to an identifiable individual is not considered personal information under this policy.
This Privacy Policy governs how we collect, use, and protect personal information in accordance with applicable privacy legislation, including PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) and other relevant laws. It applies to all visitors, users, and others who access our website (“you”, “users”).
