4. Legal Basis for Processing
Our primary legislation is Canada’s
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Where visitors access the Site from the European Union or United Kingdom, we also comply with the GDPR.
- Consent — you voluntarily submit your information through our contact or quote forms
- Contractual necessity — to communicate and deliver services you have requested
- Legitimate interests — to understand how the Site is used and to improve it, in a way that does not override your rights
5. Cookies and Tracking
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for two purposes: to ensure the website functions correctly, and to understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.
Functional cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to operate. You cannot opt out of these without affecting Site functionality.
Analytics and usage tracking — we use third-party analytics tools that collect anonymous data about how visitors navigate the Site, including pages visited, time spent, approximate location (country/region), device type, and browser. These tools may also record aggregated interaction patterns such as scroll depth and click areas to help us understand and improve the user experience. This data is not used to identify you personally and is not shared for advertising purposes.
Most browsers allow you to control or block cookies through their settings. You can also opt out of analytics tracking by enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser or by using browser extensions designed for this purpose. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the Site.
6. Third-Party Services
We use a small number of third-party services to operate and improve the Site. Each may process limited technical data as part of their normal operation:
- Font and asset delivery — typography and design resources may be loaded from third-party CDNs, which may log the request (IP address, browser type).
- Spam protection — our contact forms are protected by an invisible bot-detection service that analyses behavioural signals to distinguish humans from automated submissions. No personally identifiable information is stored by this service on our behalf.
- Analytics — we use analytics platforms to measure Site traffic and visitor behaviour in aggregate. Data collected includes pages visited, session duration, approximate location, and device information. This data is anonymised and used solely to improve the Site.
- User experience analysis — we may use session analysis tools that record aggregated interaction patterns (e.g. click and scroll behaviour) across the Site. These tools do not capture personal information such as names, email addresses or form content.
- Hosting provider — our web host processes server log data (IP addresses, access times) as part of normal infrastructure operation.
We do not use advertising networks, retargeting pixels, or any platforms that build personal profiles for marketing purposes.
7. Data Retention
- Enquiries that do not result in a project — up to 12 months from the date of last contact
- Active project correspondence — for the duration of the project and up to 3 years after completion
- Server access logs — typically 30–90 days, depending on our hosting provider’s standard retention
You may request deletion of your information at any time (see Section 9).
8. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss or disclosure. The Site is served over HTTPS (TLS encryption). Form submissions are transmitted securely.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We will notify you promptly if we become aware of any breach that affects your personal information.
9. Your Rights
- Access — to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Correction — to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Deletion — to request that we delete your personal information
- Objection — to object to processing based on legitimate interests
