Collection of personal information
Personal information is information that identifies you as an individual — for example, your name and email address.
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, primarily through this site’s contact form and, if you choose to subscribe, our newsletter sign-up. We do not require account registration, and we do not collect or process any payment information through this site. We are compliant with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and will only send you marketing or promotional email if you’ve given express consent — for example, by submitting our contact form or subscribing to our newsletter.
How we use your information
We use the personal information you provide to respond to your inquiry, to send you information you’ve requested about our services, and, where you’ve given consent, to send you newsletters or other marketing communications. We do not use your information to build behavioural profiles for advertising, and we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
Disclosure of information
We do not disclose your personal information to third parties except: i) to service providers who help us operate this site (for example, our website host or email platform), under agreements that require them to protect your information consistently with this policy; or ii) where required by law, regulation, subpoena, or court order.
Cookies
This site uses cookies — small data files placed on your device to support site functionality and analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site; Google may process this information in accordance with its own privacy policy. You can disable cookies in your browser, though some parts of the site may not function properly as a result.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18.
Protection of information
Our commitment to security: we use physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we collect, to help protect it from unauthorized access.
Where this information is stored: this site is hosted by GoDaddy and built on Webflow, Inc., using cloud infrastructure (including Amazon Web Services and Cloudflare) that may store and process data in Canada, the United States, or other countries depending on configuration. As a result, your personal information may be stored or processed outside of Canada, where it could be accessible to authorities under that jurisdiction’s laws.
Your privacy rights
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or withdraw your consent to its use, at any time by emailing emily@ptakandco.com. We will respond within a reasonable time and in accordance with applicable privacy law. We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.
