How we handle your information - straight talk, no corporate mumbo-jumbo
Last updated: October 22, 2025
Look, we get it - privacy policies can be boring as hell. But here's the thing: we actually care about your data. This isn't just some legal document our lawyers threw together (okay, they helped). It's a real explanation of what happens with your info when you work with us or browse our site.
Glaive Valor Architecture operates out of Toronto, Ontario, and we're bound by Canadian privacy laws - specifically PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act). That means we've got rules to follow, and honestly, we're glad about that.
By using our website or engaging our services, you're agreeing to what's laid out here. Don't like something? Talk to us. We're pretty reasonable people.
We're not in the business of hoarding data for fun. Here's what we actually gather and why:
When you reach out about a project or consultation, we'll collect:
We need this stuff to actually do our job - can't design a building without knowing what you want!
Like pretty much every website out there, we collect some technical info:
This helps us figure out if our site's working properly and what content people actually care about.
If we're working together on a project, we'll be handling:
We're not gonna sell your email to spammers or anything shady like that. Here's what we actually do with your data:
To design, plan, and execute your architectural projects. This is the main gig - creating spaces that work for you.
Responding to inquiries, sending project updates, sharing progress reports. You know, actually talking to you.
Meeting building codes, zoning requirements, and keeping records as required by law. Boring but necessary.
Analyzing what works and what doesn't so we can get better at what we do.
Portfolio Use: Sometimes we'd love to showcase completed projects in our portfolio. We'll always ask for explicit permission before using any client project images or details publicly. Your project, your call.
We're not cyber security experts, but we take reasonable precautions to keep your info safe:
That said, no system's 100% secure. If we ever have a data breach, we'll notify affected people promptly and work with authorities as required.
Under Canadian privacy law, you've got some solid rights:
We don't hang onto stuff forever just for kicks. Here's our general approach:
When we delete data, we actually delete it - not just archive it somewhere "just in case."
