Look, we get it - nobody really enjoys reading privacy policies. But here's the thing: we genuinely care about your personal info and want you to understand what happens with it when you interact with us at Blazorn Valthara Architecture.
We're not some massive corporation with layers of legal jargon. We're a design studio based in Vancouver, and we've tried to keep this as straightforward as possible. This policy covers our website, any consultations you have with us, and basically any time you're dealing with our team.
By using our website or services, you're agreeing to the practices described here. If something doesn't sit right with you, reach out - we're always happy to chat about it.
When you reach out for a consultation or fill out our contact form, we'll ask for basics like your name, email, phone number, and details about your project. Sometimes clients share property info, budget ranges, timeline expectations - whatever helps us understand what you're looking for.
If we end up working together, we'll obviously collect more - contracts, site addresses, preferences, measurements, all that good stuff that goes into creating your space.
Like most websites, ours collects some automatic info - IP addresses, browser types, what pages you check out, how long you hang around. Nothing creepy, just standard analytics that help us understand how people use the site and where we can improve things.
We use cookies too (the digital kind, not the chocolate chip ones unfortunately). More on that below.
If you share photos of your existing space, property images, or inspiration pics, we'll hang onto those for project planning. After we complete a project, we might ask if we can use photos for our portfolio - but that's always with your permission first.
We're not in the business of selling data or spamming people. Here's what we do with your information:
That's pretty much it. We're not gonna use your email to sell you random stuff or pass it along to third parties for marketing.
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. Our website uses SSL encryption, we use secure cloud storage for project files, and we're careful about who on our team has access to what.
That said, no system is 100% bulletproof. We do our best, but we can't guarantee absolute security. If there's ever a data breach that affects you, we'll let you know as soon as we can.
We keep your data for as long as we're working together, plus however long we need it for legal or business purposes afterward. Completed project files typically hang around for about 7 years, which is standard in the architecture world.
Under Canadian privacy laws (specifically PIPEDA), you've got several rights when it comes to your personal information:
You can ask to see what personal info we have about you.
If something's wrong or outdated, we'll fix it.
Request deletion, though we might need to keep some stuff for legal reasons.
Unsubscribe from marketing emails anytime you want.
Just shoot us an email at info@blazornvalthara.info or give us a call. We'll handle your request within a reasonable timeframe (usually within 30 days).
Seriously, if anything here is unclear or you've got concerns about how we handle your data, don't hesitate to reach out. We'd rather have the conversation than have you wondering.

We might update this privacy policy from time to time - especially if laws change or we adjust how we operate. When we make significant changes, we'll post a notice on our website or send you an email if we have your contact info.
The date at the top shows when this was last updated, so you can always check if something's changed since you last read it.
