Introduction
Look, we get it - nobody actually enjoys reading privacy policies. But here's the thing: at Blaze Tharvi Onix Architecture, we think transparency matters just as much in how we handle your data as it does in our building designs.
This policy explains what happens with your information when you reach out to us, browse our site, or work with us on a project. We're based in Toronto, so we follow Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA, for those who care about acronyms), and we've tried to write this in plain English instead of the usual legal jargon.
Bottom line? We only collect what we actually need, we don't sell your info to anyone, and you've got control over your data. Simple as that.
What You Give Us
When you fill out a contact form or email us, we'll grab your name, email, phone number, and whatever details you share about your project. Pretty standard stuff.
Automatic Collection
Like most websites, we automatically collect some technical data - IP addresses, browser types, which pages you looked at, that sort of thing. Helps us keep the site running smoothly.
Client Projects
If we're working together on a project, we'll keep all the relevant docs, plans, communications, and files. We need these to actually do our job and keep records.
How We Use Your Information
The Obvious Reasons
We use your info to respond to inquiries, provide quotes, manage projects, send updates, and generally do the work you've asked us to do. Not exactly rocket science.
Making Things Better
We analyze how people use our website to improve it. Which pages get the most attention? Where do people get stuck? That kind of insight helps us make the site more useful.
Staying Connected
Occasionally, we might send you updates about our work, new services, or sustainability initiatives we think you'd find interesting. Don't worry - you can opt out anytime, and we won't spam you.
Legal Obligations
Sometimes we're legally required to keep certain records - building permits, contracts, professional documentation. It's part of being a licensed architecture firm in Canada.
Your Rights & Choices
Under Canadian privacy law, you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal information. Here's what you can do:
Access Your Data
Ask us what information we have about you. We'll provide it within 30 days, usually faster.
Correct Mistakes
If we've got something wrong, let us know and we'll fix it right away.
Delete Your Info
Want us to delete your data? We'll do it, unless we're legally required to keep it for professional or regulatory reasons.
Opt Out
Don't want marketing emails? Click unsubscribe or just tell us. No hard feelings.
How We Protect Your Data
We take security seriously - probably more seriously than we should admit without sounding paranoid. Here's what we do:
Technical Safeguards
- SSL encryption for data transmission
- Secure cloud storage with encryption
- Regular security updates and patches
- Firewall protection and monitoring
Organizational Measures
- Limited access to personal data
- Staff training on privacy practices
- Confidentiality agreements with team members
- Regular privacy policy reviews
That said, no system is 100% secure. We do our best, but if there's ever a breach that affects your data, we'll let you know promptly and tell you what we're doing about it.
