LP Consulting Company Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 2026
Purpose
LP Consulting Ltd. (“LP Consulting,” “LP,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of our clients, farmers, project participants, employees, applicants, partners, website visitors, and other individuals whose information we may collect in the course of our work.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information. It applies to information collected through our website, direct communications, consulting services, project work, software-supported programs, and related business activities.
LP Consulting is committed to handling personal information in a responsible and transparent manner. Canadian private-sector organizations are generally required under PIPEDA to be open about their privacy practices and to manage personal information according to principles such as consent, limiting collection, safeguards, access, and accountability.

Consent
By providing personal information to LP Consulting, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of that information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or otherwise identified at the time of collection.
Consent may be express or implied, depending on the sensitivity of the information and the circumstances. PIPEDA generally requires knowledge and consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information, except where otherwise permitted by law.
You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal, contractual, or practical limitations. If you withdraw consent, we may not be able to provide certain services or continue certain project activities.
CNMP, FieldCarbon, and Project Data
LP Consulting may collect or manage information through CNMP™, FieldCarbon™, or related project systems. This may include farm, field, soil, amendment, manure, crop, monitoring, photography, mapping, or project evidence records.
LP Consulting uses this information to support project planning, nutrient management, greenhouse gas calculations, monitoring, reporting, quality assurance, validation, verification, claims support, and project administration.
Access to project information is limited to authorized users based on their role and need to access the information. Where verifiers, validators, auditors, funders, clients, or project partners require access to information, access will be managed in accordance with applicable contracts, confidentiality requirements, permissions, and project rules.
LP Consulting does not sell project participant or client personal information.
When We Share Personal Information
LP Consulting may share personal information where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including with:
employees, contractors, consultants, or professional advisors;
laboratories, technical service providers, software providers, or data hosting providers;
clients, project owners, project partners, verifiers, validators, auditors, or funders, where applicable;
government agencies, regulators, or authorities where required or permitted by law;
legal, accounting, insurance, or professional advisors;
third parties where you have provided consent.
We require service providers and contractors to protect personal information and to use it only for the purposes for which it was provided.
Safeguards
LP Consulting uses reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, loss, alteration, or destruction.
These safeguards may include:
limiting access to authorized personnel;
password protection and user permissions;
secure digital storage systems;
confidentiality obligations for employees and contractors;
controlled access to project records;
data backup and retention practices;
secure sharing procedures where appropriate.
No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but LP Consulting takes reasonable steps to protect the information in its custody or control.
Retention of Personal Information
LP Consulting retains personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required for legal, contractual, regulatory, insurance, audit, tax, project, or professional obligations.
Project-related records may need to be retained for longer periods where required for monitoring, reporting, verification, audit, funding, regulatory, or carbon project purposes.
When information is no longer required, LP Consulting will securely delete, destroy, anonymize, or archive it in accordance with our business and legal requirements.
Accuracy and Access
LP Consulting takes reasonable steps to keep personal information accurate, complete, and up to date for the purposes for which it is used.
You may request access to your personal information or ask us to correct information that you believe is inaccurate or incomplete. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
In some cases, access may be limited by legal, contractual, confidentiality, privilege, security, or commercial restrictions.
