We're Brimval Quinthar Architectural Studio, based at 1247 Queen Street West, Toronto, ON M6K 1L6. We design sustainable spaces and yeah, we need to collect some info along the way. This policy breaks down what we gather, why we need it, and how we're keeping it safe.
When you reach out or work with us, we typically collect stuff like your name, email, phone number, project address, and details about what you're looking to build or renovate. Sometimes we'll need property documents, photos of existing spaces, or budget ranges to give you proper advice.
Our website might also pick up technical data - IP addresses, browser types, pages you visit - just standard web analytics to see how people use the site and where we can improve things.
Pretty straightforward here. We use your details to respond to inquiries, develop design proposals, coordinate projects, send contracts and invoices, and keep you updated on your project's progress. We're not selling your info or spamming you with random marketing stuff.
If you've signed up for our newsletter or updates about sustainable architecture trends, we'll send those occasionally - but there's always an unsubscribe option.
We don't share your personal information with third parties except when it's necessary for your project - like with structural engineers, contractors, or municipal planning offices. Everyone we work with is bound by confidentiality agreements.
We might also disclose information if legally required, like responding to a court order or complying with Canadian privacy laws.
Our site uses cookies - those little files that remember your preferences and help us understand site traffic. Most are harmless analytics cookies through services like Google Analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features might not work as smoothly.
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information - encrypted connections, secure servers, limited access within our team. That said, no internet transmission is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security. We do our best though.
Physical documents at our studio are kept in locked filing cabinets, and digital files are password-protected with regular backups.
Under Canadian privacy legislation, you've got rights. You can request to see what information we have about you, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or request deletion (though we might need to keep some records for legal or professional liability reasons).
If you want to exercise any of these rights, just shoot us an email at studio@brimvalquinthar.info or call (416) 555-0287. We'll get back to you within a reasonable timeframe.
We love showcasing completed projects on our website and in promotional materials. Before we feature any client project publicly, we'll ask for your explicit permission. If you'd prefer to stay anonymous, we can feature the work without identifying details.
We typically keep project files and client information for seven years after project completion - that's standard practice in the architecture field for liability and reference purposes. After that period, we'll securely dispose of information that's no longer needed.
Our website might link to other sites - supplier pages, sustainability resources, or industry organizations. We're not responsible for their privacy practices, so check their policies if you're concerned about how they handle data.
We might update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we do, we'll update the date at the top and post the revised version here. For significant changes, we'll notify active clients directly.
If something in this policy doesn't make sense, or if you've got concerns about how we're handling your information, don't hesitate to reach out. We'd rather clear things up than have you worried about your privacy.
