Look, we get it - nobody really enjoys reading privacy policies. But we're architects, so we appreciate good structure and transparency. Here's the straight talk about how we handle your info at Valeron Forge Quinth.
When you reach out to us or work with us on a project, we typically collect things like your name, contact details (email, phone number), project address, and whatever specifics you share about what you're looking to build or renovate. If you're filling out a contact form or signing up for our newsletter, that's the kind of stuff we're talking about.
We also gather some technical data through our website - nothing creepy, just standard analytics like which pages you visit, how long you hang around, and what device you're using. Helps us understand what folks are actually interested in.
Pretty straightforward here - we use your info to actually do our job. That means responding to your inquiries, preparing proposals, managing your architectural projects, sending you updates about your build, and occasionally sharing news about our studio or industry insights if you've opted in.
We'll also use it for the boring but necessary stuff like keeping records for professional liability purposes and complying with regulations set by the Ontario Association of Architects and other governing bodies.
We don't sell your data - that's not our business model. We're architects, not data brokers. However, we do share information with specific partners when it's necessary for your project. That includes engineers, contractors, consultants, and municipal authorities who need access to project details to get permits and approvals.
Sometimes we'll showcase completed projects in our portfolio, but we always get client permission before doing that. Your residential address won't be plastered on our website without your okay.
Our website uses cookies - those little text files that remember you visited. We use them for basic functionality and analytics through services like Google Analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser if they bother you, though some parts of the site might not work as smoothly.
We're not tracking you across the internet or building some massive profile. We just want to know if people are actually looking at our portfolio or reading about our sustainable building approaches.
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information - encrypted connections, secure servers, limited access within our team. That said, no system is 100% bulletproof, and we can't guarantee absolute security. But we're doing what responsible professionals should be doing.
Physical documents at our Toronto office are kept in locked cabinets. Digital files are password-protected and backed up regularly. We're not careless with your info.
Since we're based in Canada, we follow PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act). That means you've got rights regarding your personal data. You can request to see what info we have on you, ask us to correct anything that's wrong, or request deletion of your data (within reason - we've got professional record-keeping obligations).
Want to exercise these rights? Just shoot us an email at info@valeronforgequinth.info or give us a call. We'll handle it within a reasonable timeframe.
For active projects, we keep everything until completion and then some. Professional standards require us to maintain project records for at least seven years after substantial completion. It's partly for liability protection and partly required by our professional association.
Marketing emails and general inquiries get kept until you tell us to stop or until it's clear you're not interested anymore. We're not gonna hold onto your contact info forever if you reached out once five years ago.
Our website might link to other sites - maybe a material supplier we love or a building science resource. Once you click through to another site, this privacy policy doesn't apply anymore. We're not responsible for how other sites handle their privacy stuff.
We might update this policy from time to time as our practice evolves or regulations change. When we make significant updates, we'll post the new version here and update the date at the top. If you're a current client, we'll probably give you a heads-up about major changes.
