Quebec Privacy Addendum

Privacy Legislation Modernization Act (Law 25) — Effective May 8, 2026

This Quebec Privacy Addendum (“Addendum”) provides additional disclosures required by Quebec's Privacy Legislation Modernization Act (commonly known as “Law 25”). This Addendum should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which describes Thrivania's practices regarding the collection, use, and sharing of personal data.

The Act's goals and key requirements are consistent with Thrivania's longstanding commitment to data protection, transparency, and member control. This Addendum describes certain information that the Act requires businesses to provide to Quebec residents.

Data Transfer

We may access, store, and otherwise process personal data outside of Quebec, including in the United States. Before transferring personal information outside Quebec, we conduct a privacy impact assessment to ensure that the information will receive equivalent protection. We use contractual and organizational safeguards to protect your data during international transfers.

Processing of Data

We may process your data and the actions that you take on our platform to better understand your preferences and interests so that we can provide you with a more personalized experience. This includes:

  • • AI-powered job and co-founder matching based on your profile, skills, and preferences
  • • Personalizing your content feed with relevant posts and recommendations
  • • Analyzing platform usage to improve features and fix issues
  • • Generating AI-assisted profile content based on your onboarding conversation

You can find more information about the data we collect and how we use your data by visiting our Privacy Policy. You can manage how your information is used and the visibility of your data at any time by visiting your Settings & Privacy.

Data Protection and Your Rights

In compliance with the Act, Thrivania has appointed a data protection officer (“DPO”) and maintains internal policies and procedures for the protection of personal data, including:

Designated roles and responsibilities for the handling of personal data in our custody and control.

Processes for responding to questions, requests, and complaints from members.

A policy for the retention and destruction of data designed to ensure compliance with our legal obligations.

Privacy impact assessments conducted before deploying new technologies or transferring data internationally.
