Look, we're architects, not data miners. Your info matters to us because you matter to us. Here's the straight talk on how we handle your personal details when you work with us or just browse around our site.
What We Collect & Why
When you reach out to us or start a project, we'll ask for basics like your name, email, phone number, and project address. Pretty standard stuff. We need this to actually, y'know, get in touch with you and understand what you're looking to build or renovate.
If you're browsing the site, we might collect some technical info - IP address, browser type, pages you check out. This helps us figure out what's working and what's not on our end.
Contact Info
Name, email, phone, address - the essentials for staying connected throughout your project journey.
Project Details
Property info, design preferences, budget ranges - whatever you share to help us craft spaces that actually fit your vision.
How We Use Your Information
We're not selling your data to random third parties or spamming you with junk. Here's what we actually do with it:
- → Respond to your inquiries and consultation requests - seems obvious but we gotta say it
- → Manage ongoing projects and keep communication flowing smoothly
- → Send project updates, invoices, and relevant documentation
- → Improve our services based on feedback and how folks use our website
- → Occasionally share portfolio updates or company news if you've opted in
Who We Share With (Spoiler: Not Many)
We keep things pretty tight. Your info stays with us unless there's a legit reason to share it. Here's when that might happen:
Project Collaborators
Engineers, contractors, or consultants who're directly working on your project. They need relevant details to do their part right.
Service Providers
Email platforms, cloud storage, accounting software - the tools that keep our business running smoothly. They're all bound by their own privacy agreements.
Legal Requirements
If the law requires it or there's a legitimate legal process involved, we'll comply. But that's rare and we'll give you a heads up when possible.
Cookies & Tracking Stuff
Yeah, we use cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are small files that help our website remember you and work better. You can disable 'em in your browser settings if you want, though some features might not work as smoothly.
We also use analytics tools to see which pages people visit most, how long they stick around, that sorta thing. It's all anonymous data that helps us improve the site experience.
Your Control
You've got options. Want to update your info? Need to opt out of emails? Just wanna know what we've got on file about you?
Drop us a line at info@pamasthalquintht.info and we'll sort it out.
How We Protect Your Data
We take security seriously. Your info is stored on secure servers with encryption and access controls. Only our team members who actually need access to do their jobs can see your personal details.
That said, no system's 100% bulletproof. We do our best, but there's always some level of risk when transmitting info over the internet. We're honest about that.
Retention - How Long We Keep Stuff
We don't hoard data forever. For active projects, we keep everything current. After a project wraps up, we hang onto records for about seven years - that's pretty standard in the architecture world for legal and professional reasons.
If you just made an inquiry but never moved forward with a project, we'll typically clear out that info after a couple years unless you've asked to stay on our mailing list.
Your Rights Under Canadian Law
We operate in Canada and follow PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act). You've got rights, and we respect 'em:
Access
See what personal info we've collected about you
Correction
Fix any inaccuracies in your personal data
Deletion
Request removal of your info (with some legal exceptions)
Third-Party Links
Our site might link to other websites - supplier catalogs, building code resources, that kinda thing. Once you click away to another site, this privacy policy doesn't apply anymore. Those sites have their own policies, so check 'em out if you're concerned.
Updates to This Policy
We might update this privacy policy from time to time as our business evolves or laws change. When we do, we'll update the date at the top and post the new version here. If there's a major change, we'll reach out to active clients directly.
Checking back occasionally isn't a bad idea, especially if it's been a while since you've looked.
Questions? Let's Talk
Privacy stuff can be confusing. If you've got questions about how we handle your information or want to exercise any of your rights, just reach out. We're here to help.
