Privacy Policy

Look, we get it - nobody reads these things. But we're gonna be straight with you about how we handle your info.

Last updated: October 22, 2025

The Real Talk

We're an architecture studio, not a tech giant trying to sell your data to advertisers. Honestly, we just wanna design beautiful buildings and make sure we can get back to you when you reach out. That's pretty much it.

But yeah, there's legal stuff we gotta cover because we operate in Canada and we take privacy seriously. So here's the deal with your information when you interact with ChronoInquester.

What Info We Actually Collect

Personal Details

When you fill out our contact forms or send us an email, we collect stuff like:

  • Your name (obviously)
  • Email address
  • Phone number if you share it
  • Project details you tell us about
  • Property address if relevant
Technical Stuff

Like most websites, we automatically grab:

  • IP address (general location)
  • Browser type
  • Device info
  • Pages you visit on our site
  • How long you stick around

How We Use Your Info

We're not doing anything weird with your data. Here's the straight-up list:

Respond to your inquiries and project requests

Manage ongoing projects and client relationships

Send project updates or portfolio news (if you opt-in)

Improve our website experience

Keep records for legal/tax purposes

Analyze site traffic patterns

Who Gets to See Your Info?

Short answer: We don't sell your data. Period.

But there are a few situations where we might share info:

Service Providers: Email hosting, website analytics tools, cloud storage - basically the tech we need to run the business. They're all under strict contracts.

Project Partners: If you're working on a project with us, we'll share relevant details with engineers, contractors, consultants - whoever needs to know to get the job done.

Legal Requirements: If the law says we gotta hand over info (court orders, regulatory stuff), we will. But we'll fight it if it seems sketchy.

Business Transfers: If we ever sell the studio or merge with another firm (doubt it, but legally gotta mention it), your info might transfer as part of that.

Cookies & That Tracking Jazz

Yeah, we use cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are tiny files that help our site remember you and work properly.

Essential Cookies

These keep the site running. Can't really turn 'em off without breaking things. They handle stuff like security and basic functionality.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to see which pages people actually look at. Helps us know what's working and what's not. You can opt out if you want.

Most browsers let you control cookies through settings. Just know that blocking some might make the site act wonky.

Your Rights (The Important Stuff)

Under Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA and all that), you've got rights. Here's what you can do:

You can ask us what personal info we have about you. We'll give you a copy, usually within 30 days. No charge for reasonable requests.

Got the wrong email on file? Name spelled wrong? Just let us know and we'll fix it ASAP.

Want us to erase your info? We'll do it unless we legally have to keep it (like for tax records or active projects). Just shoot us an email.

Don't wanna hear from us anymore? Every email has an unsubscribe link. One click and you're out. No hard feelings.

How We Keep Your Info Safe

We're architects, not cybersecurity experts, but we take reasonable precautions:

Encrypted Connections

SSL encryption for our website and email communications

Secure Storage

Data stored with reputable cloud providers with proper security

Limited Access

Only team members who need access get it

Regular Backups

We backup data regularly to prevent loss

Real talk: No system is 100% secure. We do our best, but if there's ever a breach, we'll let you know right away and tell you what happened.

Response Time: We typically respond to privacy requests within 30 days, but we'll try to get back to you way faster than that. Usually takes us just a few business days.

Changes to This Policy

We might update this privacy policy from time to time - laws change, we add new services, whatever. If we make any big changes, we'll post a notice on our website and update the date at the top.

For major changes that affect how we use your data, we'll try to email you directly if we have your contact info.
