We take your privacy seriously - here's the straight talk on how we handle your information
Last Updated: January 2024
Look, we get it - privacy policies can be a real snooze-fest. But here at Galeval Thorium Architecture, we're committed to being upfront about how we handle your personal info. Whether you're a potential client checking out our sustainable designs or just browsing our portfolio, you deserve to know what happens with your data.
This policy covers everything we do with information collected through our website, email communications, and during our architectural consultation process. We're based in Vancouver, BC, and we follow Canadian privacy laws (specifically PIPEDA), which honestly set a pretty high bar for data protection.
When you reach out to us or fill out a contact form, we'll collect stuff like:
Like most websites nowadays, we gather some technical data when you visit:
We're not gonna sell your email to some random marketing company - that's not our style. Here's what we actually do with your data:
Responding to inquiries, sending project proposals, and keeping you updated on your architectural project's progress.
Creating designs, managing permits, coordinating with contractors, and all the nuts and bolts of bringing your project to life.
Meeting building code requirements, maintaining proper documentation, and fulfilling our professional obligations.
Understanding what works and what doesn't so we can make the site more helpful for folks looking for sustainable architecture solutions.
Data security isn't just about checking boxes - it's something we take seriously. Here's what we do:
That said, no system is 100% bulletproof. We do our best, but if you're sending sensitive info via email, you might wanna call us instead at (604) 555-0142.
Under Canadian privacy law, you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal information:
You can ask to see what personal information we have about you. We'll get back to you within 30 days.
If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it. Accurate info is important for architectural work anyway.
Want us to delete your data? We can do that, though we might need to keep some records for legal or regulatory reasons.
Not interested in our occasional project updates or sustainability tips? No worries - just let us know or hit unsubscribe.
We don't hoard information forever. Here's our general approach:
Our services aren't directed at anyone under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from kids. If you're a parent and think we've somehow got info about your child, reach out and we'll delete it immediately.
Privacy laws and best practices evolve, so we might update this policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we'll let you know via email (if we have your contact info) or through a notice on our website. The "Last Updated" date at the top will always reflect when changes were made.
If you've got questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, don't hesitate to get in touch. We're humans, not robots, and we're happy to explain things in plain English.
