Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 9, 2026
Whitewater Architecture (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through whitewaterarchitecture.ca, how we use it, and the choices you have. It is written to meet the requirements of Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
Information we collect
Information you give us directly, through our contact form:
• Name
• Email address
• Message details you choose to share about your project
We also collect some information automatically when you visit our site. Our hosting platform uses cookies and similar technologies to gather technical details such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and the site you came from.
How we use your information
-
To respond to your inquiry and discuss your project
-
To provide information, consultations, or quotes you’ve requested
-
To keep basic business records of client and prospect communications
-
To understand, in general terms, how visitors use our site so we can improve it
We do not use your information for anything beyond these purposes, and we do not currently send marketing emails or newsletters. If that changes, we’ll update this policy and ask for your consent first.
How we share your information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share it with:
-
Service providers who help us run our website and business (for example, Wix.com, our website hosting and forms platform), solely so they can provide that service to us
-
Others, if required by law or to protect our legal rights
Where your information is stored
Our website is hosted on Wix.com. Because Wix operates internationally, some personal information may be stored or processed on servers located outside Canada, including in the United States, and may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.
Cookies
Our website platform uses cookies and similar technologies to run the site and understand visitor traffic. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect how some parts of the site function.
How long we keep your information
We keep contact and inquiry information only as long as reasonably needed to respond to you and maintain basic business records, after which it is securely deleted or de-identified.
Your rights
Under PIPEDA, you have the right to:
-
Ask what personal information we hold about you
-
Request that we correct inaccurate information
-
Withdraw consent to our use of your information, subject to legal or contractual restrictions
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the personal information you share with us, appropriate to its sensitivity.
Children’s privacy
Our website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above reflects the most recent revision.
