How we handle your information and keep things transparent
Last Updated: January 2024
Look, we get it - privacy policies can be a real slog to read through. We've tried to make ours as straightforward as possible because we believe you deserve to know exactly what we do with your info.
We're Crystallith Quinthor Architecture, a Toronto-based firm that's passionate about contemporary crystal-inspired design. You can find us at 1250 Bay Street, Suite 800, Toronto, ON M5R 2A5. If you've got questions about this policy or anything else, give us a ring at (416) 555-0142 or shoot us an email at info@crystallithquinthor.info.
If you contact us through our website or by phone, we'll collect the basics - your name, email, phone number, and whatever you tell us about your project. Pretty standard stuff. We need this to actually respond to your inquiry and discuss your architectural needs.
Like most websites these days, we collect some technical data when you browse around. This includes your IP address, browser type, what pages you looked at, and how long you stuck around. Nothing creepy - just helps us understand how people use the site and where we can improve things.
If you become a client, we'll obviously need more detailed info - property addresses, design preferences, budget considerations, site photos, and all that jazz. Can't design your dream space without knowing what you're working with, right?
We're not in the business of selling your data or bombarding you with spam. Here's what we actually do with it:
We keep your information pretty close to the chest, but there are a few situations where we might need to share it:
Project Collaborators: Sometimes we work with engineers, contractors, or other specialists to bring your project to life. We'll only share what's necessary for them to do their part.
Legal Requirements: If the law says we gotta hand something over, we will. We're not trying to get in trouble with the authorities.
Service Providers: We use third-party tools for things like email, cloud storage, and website analytics. These folks are bound by their own privacy policies and we make sure they're legit.
Yeah, we use cookies - and we're not talking about the chocolate chip kind. These little bits of code help us remember your preferences and understand how you use our site. Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings if you want to disable them, though some features might not work as smoothly.
We use Google Analytics to see how folks interact with our site. It's anonymous data that helps us make the site better. If you're not into being tracked, there are browser extensions that can block this stuff.
We take security seriously around here. Your information is stored on secure servers with encryption, access controls, and all that technical safeguard stuff. Our team's trained on data protection, and we regularly review our security measures.
That said, nothing's 100% bulletproof on the internet. We do our best to protect your data, but we can't guarantee absolute security. If we ever have a data breach, we'll let you know ASAP.
In Canada, you've got rights when it comes to your personal information. Here's what you can do:
Just reach out to us at info@crystallithquinthor.info if you want to exercise any of these rights.
We don't hang onto your information forever. Here's the general breakdown:
Our website might link out to other sites from time to time - maybe project suppliers, industry resources, or inspiration boards. We're not responsible for their privacy practices, so check out their policies if you're concerned.
Our services aren't directed at anyone under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from minors. If you're a parent and think we've somehow got your kid's info, let us know and we'll delete it pronto.
We might update this policy from time to time as our practices evolve or laws change. We'll post any changes here and update the date at the top. If there's something major, we'll try to give you a heads up through email or a notice on our site.
We're based in Canada, and that's where we keep most of your data. Some of our service providers might be located elsewhere, which means your info could cross borders. Don't worry though - we make sure anyone handling your data meets Canadian privacy standards.
Seriously, if anything in here is confusing or you want more details about how we handle your information, just ask. We're real people and we're happy to explain.
