How we handle your information

Last Updated: January 2024

Look, we're architects, not data collectors. But we do need to be upfront about what happens when you reach out to us or visit our site.

What Info We Actually Collect

When you contact us about a project or just browse around, here's what we might gather:

  • Contact Details: Your name, email, phone number - basically how we can get back to you about that waterfront project you're dreaming about.
  • Project Info: Whatever details you share about your site, budget range, timeline. The stuff that helps us figure out if we're a good fit.
  • Site Visit Data: Standard web stuff - IP address, browser type, pages you clicked on. Nothing creepy, just the basics our hosting provider tracks.
  • Cookies: Small text files that remember if you've been here before. Makes the site work better for return visits.

How We Use Your Information

We're pretty straightforward about this. Your info helps us:

  • Get back to you about inquiries - whether it's scheduling a site visit or answering questions about sustainable materials
  • Send project updates if we're working together
  • Occasionally share news about our latest coastal projects or green building techniques (but only if you've said it's cool)
  • Improve how our website works based on what pages people actually look at
  • Keep our records organized for project management

Who We Share With (Spoiler: Almost Nobody)

We don't sell your data. Period. That's not our business model. However, there are a few cases where we might share info:

  • Project Consultants: If we're working on your project, structural engineers, coastal specialists, or contractors might need your contact details. That's just how collaboration works.
  • Legal Requirements: If the law says we gotta hand something over, we will. But this has literally never happened in our 15+ years.
  • Service Providers: Our email host, website server, that kind of thing. They have access but are bound by their own privacy agreements.

How We Protect Your Data

We take reasonable precautions to keep your info secure. Our website uses SSL encryption, we've got secure servers, and we limit who on our team can access client data. Is it Fort Knox? No. But it's solid protection for an architecture firm handling contact forms and project details.

That said, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We do our best, but if you're sharing super sensitive stuff, maybe call us directly at (604) 555-2847.

Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies to make the site function properly and remember your preferences. Most browsers let you refuse cookies, but some parts of the site might not work as smoothly if you do.

We don't use third-party advertising cookies. We're not tracking you across the internet.

Your Rights

In Canada, you've got rights over your personal data. You can ask us what we have on file, request corrections, or tell us to delete it entirely.

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

Kids' Privacy

Our services aren't aimed at anyone under 18. If you're a parent and think your kid has somehow sent us their info, let us know and we'll delete it right away.

Links to Other Sites

Sometimes we link to manufacturers, sustainability organizations, or project examples on other sites. Once you click away from harborvalquint.info, their privacy policies take over. We can't control what they do, so read their policies if you're concerned.

Changes to This Policy

We might update this occasionally - maybe if laws change or we add new services. We'll update the date at the top and, if it's a major change, we'll probably mention it on the homepage or send an email to active clients.

Honestly, we're not expecting big changes. We've operated this way for years and it works fine.

Questions About Privacy?

If something here doesn't make sense or you wanna know more about how we handle your info, just reach out. We're happy to explain anything.
