Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Blake Burns Technologies Inc. ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you visit our website (blakeburnstechnologiesinc.com) (the "Site"). Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us, and we are committed to protecting it in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

By using our Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Accountability & Contact

We are responsible for all personal information under our control. We have designated a Privacy Contact who is accountable for our compliance with this policy and applicable privacy laws. If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints about this policy or your personal information, please contact us at:

[email protected]

2. Information We Collect

We collect very limited information from our users. The information we collect falls into two categories:

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide

The only personal information we actively collect is what you voluntarily provide to us. This occurs when you choose to contact us via the `mailto:` link on our Site.

• Contact Information: When you send us an email, we collect your email address, your name (if provided), and any other information you include in the body of your message.

B. Information Collected Automatically (Usage Data)

Like most websites, our web server may automatically log standard technical information when you visit our Site. This "Usage Data" is generally anonymous and not linked to you personally. It may include:

• Your IP address (Internet Protocol)
• Your browser type and version (e.g., Chrome, Firefox)
• Your operating system (e.g., Windows, macOS)
• The pages you visited on our Site and the time and date of your visit
• The referring website (if you clicked a link to get to our Site)

3. How We Use Your Information (Identifying Purposes)

We use the limited information we collect for the following specific purposes:

• To Respond to You: We use the contact information you provide (e.g., your email address) solely to respond to your inquiries, comments, or collaboration requests.
• To Maintain & Improve Our Site: We use anonymous Usage Data to monitor our Site's performance, analyze trends, prevent fraud, and ensure the security of our website and server.
• To Comply with Legal Obligations: We may be required to use or disclose your information to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

We will not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

4. Consent

We rely on your consent to process your personal information.

• Implied Consent: By browsing our Site, you provide implied consent for us to collect and use anonymous Usage Data as described in this policy.
• Explicit Consent: By choosing to email us, you provide explicit consent for us to use your personal information (like your email address) to respond to your inquiry.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. For example, you can request that we delete your email correspondence. To do so, please contact us at the email provided above.

5. Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention

We do not disclose your personal information to third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share Usage Data with third-party service providers who help us operate our website (e.g., web hosting). These providers are contractually obligated to protect the data and use it only for the services we request.
• Legal Compliance We will disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to protect our rights or the safety of others.

We will only retain your personal information (such as email correspondence) for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or to meet legal and regulatory requirements. After this period, your personal information will be securely destroyed or anonymized.

7. Security (Safeguards)

We take the security of your information seriously. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect from loss, theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification. Our Site uses SSL/TLS encryption (indicated by the "https") to protect data transmitted between your browser and our server.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

8. Your Privacy Rights (Access and Accuracy)

As a Canadian user, you have rights regarding your personal information under PIPEDA:

• Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete information we hold about you.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your information at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at **[email protected]**. We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by law (typically 30 days).

9. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for or directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, we will take steps to delete it as soon as possible.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will post any changes on this page and update the "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
