Contact and enquiry information: your name, job title, company, email address, phone number and any details you include when you contact us by form, email or phone, or request a proposal.
Job applications: your résumé, cover letter, references and other information you send us when applying for a position.

Website usage information: your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited and similar data collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools.

Our website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use personal information to:

Respond to enquiries and prepare proposals
Deliver, administer and invoice our services
Assess job applications and manage recruitment
Operate, secure and improve our website
Send news or updates where you have agreed to receive them
Meet our legal, regulatory, insurance and professional obligations

We collect only the information we need for these purposes. If we want to use your information for a new purpose, we will ask for your consent first unless the law permits otherwise.

CONSENT

By providing personal information to us, you consent to its use as described in this policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions, by contacting our Privacy Officer. Withdrawing consent may limit our ability to respond to you or provide services. We send commercial electronic messages only in accordance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), and every such message includes a way to unsubscribe.

SHARING OF INFORMATION

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We share it only:

With service providers that support our business, such as website hosting (Wix.com), email, IT, analytics and professional advisors. They are required to protect the information and use it only to provide services to us.
With clients, subconsultants or project partners where this is needed to deliver a project you are involved in.
Where required or permitted by law, for example to comply with a court order or to protect our legal rights.

STORAGE OUTSIDE CANADA

Some of our service providers, including our website host, may store or process personal information outside Canada, including in the United States. While it is outside Canada, the information is subject to the laws of that country and may be accessible to its courts, law enforcement and national security authorities.

COOKIES AND ANALYTICS

Our website uses cookies that are needed for it to work and analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use it. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the website may not work properly if you do.

RETENTION

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Project records are retained in line with our professional, contractual and legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we securely destroy or anonymize it.

DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, such as access controls and secure systems, to protect personal information against loss, theft and unauthorized access, use or disclosure. No transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please do not send sensitive personal information through our website forms.

Request access to the personal information we hold about you
Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
Withdraw your consent, including unsubscribing from marketing messages
Ask how your information has been used or to whom it has been disclosed
