WheelShift Inc. Privacy Policy

WheelShift Inc. ("WheelShift," "we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information about you when you use our website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Platform").

By accessing or using WheelShift, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Platform.

This policy applies to all personal information collected by WheelShift Inc. in Canada and complies with:
