Look, we get it - privacy policies can be a real snooze-fest. But here at Jade Quinta Vine, we actually care about your info and want you to know exactly what we're doing with it. We've been designing buildings in Vancouver for years, and just like we wouldn't cut corners on a project, we don't mess around with your personal data either.
This policy's gonna walk you through what info we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it safe. No legal jargon overload, promise.
When you reach out to us or check out our work, we might collect a few things:
We're not selling your data to random companies or anything sketchy like that. Here's what we actually do:
Creating designs, getting permits, coordinating with contractors - all the nuts and bolts of bringing your architectural dreams to life.
Responding to your inquiries, sending project updates, scheduling site visits - keeping you in the loop throughout the whole process.
Sometimes we gotta keep records for regulatory stuff, building codes, or professional standards. It's part of being a legit architectural firm in Canada.
Analyzing what works and what doesn't, so we can keep getting better at what we do.
We don't just hand out your info like flyers on the street. But sometimes we need to share with:
We take security seriously - like, really seriously. Our systems are protected with:
That said, nothing's 100% bulletproof online. We do our best, but if you're sending super sensitive stuff, maybe give us a call instead.
Under Canadian privacy laws, you've got some solid rights:
Access: Wanna know what info we have on you? Just ask. We'll show you.
Correction: If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it.
Deletion: Want us to erase your data? We can do that, unless we're legally required to keep it.
Objection: Don't like how we're using your info? You can object and we'll work something out.
Portability: Need your data for something else? We can give you a copy in a usable format.
Our website uses cookies - not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are tiny files that help the site remember you and work properly. We use them for:
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but heads up - some parts of the site might not work as smoothly.
We don't hoard data forever. Here's the general breakdown:
Sometimes our website links to other sites - supplier catalogs, building resource pages, social media profiles. Once you click away from our site, this privacy policy doesn't apply anymore. Those other sites have their own policies, so give 'em a read if you're concerned.
We might update this policy now and then - new laws, new tech, new ways of working. When we do, we'll update the date at the top and post the new version here. For big changes, we'll probably shoot you an email or put up a notice on the site.
Our services aren't aimed at anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect data from minors. If you're a parent and think your kid's given us their info, let us know and we'll delete it ASAP.
Got concerns about your privacy or how we handle data? Don't be shy - reach out anytime. We'd rather answer your questions than have you worrying.

If you think we've messed up with your privacy and talking to us directly hasn't sorted it out, you've got the right to file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. We really hope it doesn't come to that, but it's your right.
