Privacy Policy

How we're keeping your info safe and sound

Last updated: January 2024

Look, we get it - privacy policies can be a total snooze-fest. But here's the thing: we actually care about your data and want you to know exactly what we're doing with it. So grab a coffee and let's walk through this together.

What Info We Collect

When you reach out to us or browse our site, we might collect stuff like your name, email, phone number, and whatever details you share about your project. If you're filling out our contact form, we're grabbing that info to actually respond to you - pretty straightforward.

We also use some basic cookies and analytics to see how folks navigate our site. It helps us figure out if people actually care about our sustainability page or if they're just here for the pretty renderings (we won't judge either way).

How We Use Your Data

Here's the deal - we're not selling your email to random marketers or anything shady like that. Your info helps us:

  • Get back to you about your architectural inquiries (that's kinda the whole point)
  • Send project proposals and design concepts your way
  • Keep you in the loop about ongoing projects if you're already working with us
  • Occasionally share our latest work or design insights - but only if you've said it's cool
  • Improve our website based on what people actually look at

We're architects, not data brokers. Your privacy matters to us just as much as getting the building proportions right.

Keeping Things Secure

We take security seriously around here. Your data's stored on secure servers with encryption and all that technical jazz. Only our team members who actually need access to respond to inquiries can see your info.

That said, nothing's 100% bulletproof on the internet. We're doing our best with industry-standard security measures, but we can't promise absolute perfection (just like we can't promise a contractor will never be late).

Who We Share With (Spoiler: Almost Nobody)

We're not in the business of passing your details around. The only time we'd share your info is:

  • With consultants or contractors directly involved in your project (and only what's necessary)
  • If the law requires it - like if we get a legit court order or something
  • With service providers who help run our website (they're bound by their own privacy agreements)

That's it. We're not selling, renting, or trading your data. Period.

Cookies & Tracking

Yeah, we use cookies - the digital kind, not the chocolate chip ones (though we've got those in the office too). These little bits of code help us remember if you've visited before and track which pages get the most love.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies if that's your thing. Just know that some parts of the site might not work as smoothly if you do.

Your Rights

It's your data, so you've got rights. In Canada, we follow PIPEDA guidelines, which means you can:

  • Ask what info we've got on you
  • Request corrections if something's wrong
  • Tell us to delete your data (though we might need to keep some stuff for legal reasons)
  • Opt out of marketing emails anytime - there's an unsubscribe link in every message

Just shoot us an email at info@blazethoraline.info and we'll sort it out.

Third-Party Links

Sometimes we'll link to other websites - maybe a material supplier's site or a project collaborator's portfolio. Once you click away from our site, you're playing by their privacy rules, not ours. We'd recommend giving their policies a quick scan too.

Changes to This Policy

We might update this policy now and then - maybe when laws change or we add new features to the site. When we do, we'll update the date at the top. Big changes? We'll probably send an email or post something obvious on the homepage.

Still Got Questions?

Privacy stuff can be confusing, and we totally get that. If something here doesn't make sense or you've got specific concerns about your data, just reach out. We're here to help, not hide behind legal jargon.
