Your choices.
- Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the Site.
- Opt out of Google Analytics on all sites with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Adjust ad personalization at Google Ads Settings and in your Facebook account settings.
- Opt out of Hotjar at Hotjar Opt-out.
- Industry opt-out tools: optout.aboutads.info (DAA) and optout.networkadvertising.org (NAI).
- You may also contact us at the address in Section 1 with questions about these technologies.
3A. Your Tracking Choices
When you first visit the Site, we show you a notice about the technologies described in Section 3 and give you the choice to decline them. You can:
- Decline non-essential tracking — analytics, session recording, and advertising technologies will not be used for your visit. Declining is as easy as accepting and takes effect immediately.
- Change your mind at any time by clearing your browser cookies (your consent preference is stored in a cookie on your device).
Your choice is remembered across pages and future visits on the same browser. Strictly necessary cookies — the ones that keep the Site working and secure — are not affected, because the Site cannot function without them.
Declining is not a condition of using the Site. You can browse the Site, request a quote, and become a customer whether or not you accept these technologies. We do not use the technologies described in Section 3 to collect sensitive information, and we do not direct them at children.
Your information may be stored and processed in the United States by our service providers, where it may be accessible to United States authorities under applicable law.
4. How We Use Your Information
- Respond to your inquiries, quote requests, and service requests
- Schedule, deliver, and support the products and services you ask for
- Bill for products and services and maintain your account
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Site
- Send you marketing communications about our products and services
- Measure and improve the performance of our advertising
- Detect and prevent fraud, spam, security incidents, and abuse

5. How We Share Your Information
We share information with:
- Service providers who perform work for us — website hosting and marketing (Optimized Marketing), customer relationship management, email and text message delivery, call tracking and recording, analytics, session recording, A/B testing, payment processing, and delivery or installation partners. They perform this work on our behalf under our contracts with them.
- Advertising and analytics partners — the providers named in Section 3. Some of this sharing may be considered “targeted advertising,” a “sale,” or “sharing” of personal information under certain privacy laws even though no money changes hands. You can opt out — see Section 3.
- Professional advisors — attorneys, accountants, and insurers.
- Legal and safety recipients — where we believe disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, our customers, or others.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not share the mobile opt-in or consent information described in Section 6 with anyone for their own marketing.
6. Text Messages
If you provide your mobile number and agree to receive text messages, we may send you appointment reminders, service updates, and marketing messages.
- Message frequency varies based on your interaction with us.
- Message and data rates may apply.
- Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving messages, or HELP for assistance.
- Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services.
- We do not share mobile opt-in data or consent information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes.
7. Phone Calls
The phone numbers shown on the Site may be provided by a call tracking service (CallRail) so we can measure which advertising generates calls. Calls to and from those numbers may be recorded and transcribed for quality, training, and record-keeping. Where a recording is made, you will be notified at the start of the call, and you may ask us not to record.
8. Retention and Security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, to meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations, and to resolve disputes. Customer and billing records are kept for the life of the relationship and as long afterward as the law requires. Marketing contacts are kept until you unsubscribe; if you unsubscribe we keep a minimal suppression record so we do not contact you again.
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Know or access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete information we hold about you
- Obtain a copy in a portable format
- Opt out of targeted advertising and the sale or sharing of personal information
- Not be discriminated against for exercising a privacy right
How to exercise them. Contact us using the details in Section 1 and tell us which right you are exercising. We will verify your identity before acting, usually by confirming information we already hold. We respond within 30 days of receiving your request, as PIPEDA requires, and may extend that period where the Act permits, with notice to you. You may use an authorized agent, in which case we may require written proof of authorization.
10. Do Not Track and Browser Signals
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal or a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. The Site does not currently detect these signals automatically. To opt out of targeted advertising, use the browser settings and opt-out tools described in Section 3.
11. Third-Party Links
The Site links to third-party websites and social media platforms. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will revise the “Last Updated” date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice on the Site.
