Look, we're architects, not data miners. We collect what we need to do our job and nothing more. This policy explains how we handle your info when you reach out to us or visit our site. We've tried to keep the legal jargon to a minimum, but there's only so much we can do with a privacy policy.
When you contact us for a consultation or project inquiry, we'll typically ask for:
We also collect some technical data automatically when you visit our website - things like IP addresses, browser type, and which pages you visit. Nothing creepy, just standard web analytics to help us improve the site.
Here's the straight talk on what we do with your info:
We don't sell your data to third parties. Ever. That's not our business model, and frankly, we think it's a bit sketchy.
Architecture isn't a solo gig. Sometimes we need to share your information with:
Everyone we work with is bound by confidentiality agreements or professional standards. We don't just hand your info to random people.
Yeah, we use cookies. The digital kind, not the delicious kind (though we'd prefer the latter).
Essential cookies: These keep the site functioning - things like remembering your language preference or keeping you logged in if you're accessing client portal stuff.
Analytics cookies: Help us understand how people use our site. We use basic analytics to see which pages get the most traffic and where people are dropping off.
Most browsers let you control cookies through settings. Just heads up that blocking all cookies might make some parts of the site not work properly. Your call though.
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information:
That said, no system is 100% hack-proof. We do our best, but can't guarantee absolute security. If there's ever a breach that affects your data, we'll let you know ASAP and tell you what we're doing about it.
Different types of information have different lifespans:
After these periods, we securely delete or anonymize your information. Unless there's a legal reason to keep it longer, of course.
Under Canadian privacy law, you've got rights regarding your personal information:
To exercise any of these rights, just email us at info@blazrendralquinth.info or call (416) 555-0147. We'll need to verify your identity first (can't just hand out client info to anyone who asks), but then we'll take care of it.
Our website might link to other sites - manufacturer catalogs, sustainability resources, local planning departments, that sort of thing. Once you click away from our site, this privacy policy doesn't apply anymore.
We try to only link to reputable sources, but we can't control their privacy practices. It's worth checking out their policies if you're concerned about how they handle data.
Privacy laws evolve, our practices improve, and sometimes we need to update this policy. When we make significant changes, we'll post a notice on our website and update the "Last updated" date at the top.
For major changes that affect how we use your data, we'll reach out directly to active clients. We're not gonna pull any sneaky moves and hope you don't notice.
Got questions about this policy or how we handle your information? We're here to help.
