These cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly. They enable core features such as security, form submissions, and session management. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without impairing Website functionality. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies under applicable Canadian guidance; however, we disclose them transparently.

6.2 Optional Analytics Cookies

With your consent, we may use analytics cookies to collect aggregated, anonymized information about how visitors use the Website. This helps us understand which pages are most popular, where visitors come from, and how to improve the Website over time. Analytics cookies are only activated if you accept them through our cookie consent mechanism. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or contacting us.

7. Third-Party Services and Integrations

Our Website may load resources or integrate services from third parties. These third-party providers may independently collect information about you in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies carefully.

7.1 Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts, a service provided by Google LLC (or Google Ireland Limited for users in the European Economic Area), to display typography on our Website. When you visit the Website, your browser may send a request to Google’s servers to load fonts. This request may include your IP address and browser information. Google’s use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

7.2 Tailwind CSS CDN

Our Website may load the Tailwind CSS framework via a Content Delivery Network (CDN). CDN requests may expose your IP address and browser information to the CDN provider. These requests are necessary for proper Website rendering and are handled in accordance with the CDN provider’s privacy practices.

7.3 Email Service Providers

Contact form submissions may be transmitted via third-party email infrastructure or mail server services. These services are used solely to route your inquiry to us and are not authorized to use your data for any other purpose.

We do not sell or share personal information with third-party advertisers, data brokers, or marketing agencies.

8. International Data Transfers

Our Website is operated primarily from Canada. However, third-party services we use (such as Google Fonts or CDN providers) may involve the transfer of data to servers located outside of Canada, including in the United States or other countries whose privacy laws may differ from those in Canada.

In such cases, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information transferred outside Canada receives a comparable level of protection. This may include:

• Reviewing the privacy practices of third-party service providers.
• Ensuring that contractual safeguards are in place where required.
• Only engaging third parties that adhere to recognized privacy standards.

By using our Website, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside Canada as described in this section, subject to the protections outlined herein.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as required by applicable law, or as needed to resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. Our general retention practices are as follows:

• Contact Form Submissions: Retained for up to 24 months from the date of submission, or longer if an ongoing business relationship or legal obligation requires it.
• Server Logs and IP Addresses: Retained for up to 12 months for security and diagnostic purposes.
• Analytics Data: Retained in aggregated or anonymized form for up to 26 months, consistent with industry standards.

Once personal information is no longer required for any identified purpose, we securely destroy, erase, or anonymize it using appropriate technical means.

10. Data Security

We are committed to protecting your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. We implement a variety of technical, administrative, and physical security measures, including:

• HTTPS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our Website is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.
• Access Controls: Access to personal information is restricted to authorized personnel who require it to perform their job responsibilities.
• Secure Email Handling: Contact form data is transmitted and stored using secure mail infrastructure.
• Regular Security Reviews: We periodically review our data handling practices and security measures to identify and address vulnerabilities.
• Employee Awareness: Personnel who handle personal information are informed of their obligations under this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

While we take reasonable precautions to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to maintaining industry-standard practices and responding promptly to any suspected security incidents.

In the event of a breach of security safeguards involving your personal information that poses a real risk of significant harm to you, we will notify you and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada as required under PIPEDA and the Breach of Security Safeguards Regulations.
