Canadian Blueprint Inc. values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you interact with our website and services.
Effective Date: May 6, 2025
Overview
Canadian Blueprint Inc. takes your privacy seriously. We are committed to protecting your personal information and handling it responsibly in accordance with privacy laws.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you visit our website or use our services.
What is "Personal Information"?
"Personal Information" means any information that can be used to identify you as a person. This includes details like your name, address, phone number, and email address.
This definition does not include information about our employees or partners, or information that cannot be used to identify you personally.
Accountability
We are responsible under applicable privacy legislation for the Personal Information in our possession or control. This includes Personal Information we receive directly, such as from individual clients or others, and Personal Information we receive indirectly.
Consent
BY PROVIDING PERSONAL INFORMATION TO US, YOU AGREE TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND SHARING OF THAT INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND AS ALLOWED BY LAW.
You can give us consent in different ways - by telling us directly, in writing, or by continuing to provide information to us in our ongoing relationship. When you work with us, you may provide personal information that we need to share as part of legal proceedings.
We will only ask for the personal information needed to provide our services to you. We will not require additional personal information just to provide our services.
If you give us personal information about someone else, you must have their permission to do so.
You can choose not to provide personal information or withdraw your consent later by contacting our privacy officer (contact information below). Depending on the type of information, we may need to give notice before stopping use of your information. If you withdraw consent, we may not be able to continue providing services to you.
Collection of Personal Information
What Personal Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide to us directly, including:
- Your name, address, phone number, and email address
- Payment information
- Details about your project needs and requirements
- Any other information you choose to share with us
We may also collect information from other sources when needed to work with you, such as information from your current or former employers, or publicly available sources.
How We Collect Personal Information
Usually, you provide information to us directly. However, we may also collect information from other sources or public records when needed to provide our services or for administrative purposes, where allowed by law. We may also collect information through our website.
Where We Store Personal Information
Your Personal Information is stored in secured locations and on servers controlled by Canadian Blueprint Inc., either at our offices or at the offices of our service providers. To the extent that we enter into arrangements with third party service providers, agents and/or contractors to store, handle or process such Personal Information on our behalf, our policy will be to require such parties to provide comparable privacy protection while the information is stored, handled or processed by them, contractually or otherwise.
Personal Information may be stored outside of the jurisdiction you are in, for example if a third party to whom we disclose Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy is located outside of that jurisdiction. In such cases, the information may be subject to the local laws of the jurisdiction within which it is collected, stored, used or disclosed.
How We Use Your Personal Information
We collect, use, and share your personal information for the following purposes:
- To work with you and manage our relationship
- To provide our services and advice
- To share information with others when needed to provide our services, such as with courts, experts, or other professionals
- To help with business transactions like purchases or leases
- To manage our business relationships with clients and suppliers
- To invoice and collect payments
- To understand how we can better serve you
- To improve and market our services
- To send you information about our services if you've subscribed
- To manage our business operations
- To protect against fraud and other illegal activities

- For any other purpose you agree to
We have offices in Burnaby, BC, and may share information between offices when needed to provide services or for administrative purposes.
If you contact us through our website, we may use that information to improve our site and respond to your feedback.
How We Protect and Store Your Information
We only collect, use, and share the minimum amount of personal information needed to provide our services and run our business.
We keep records of our work as required by law and professional standards. These records are stored securely to prevent unauthorized access (see Security below).
When we work with third-party service providers to store or process your information, we require them to provide similar privacy protections.
We keep your personal information for as long as needed to provide our services or as required by law. Some types of information may need to be kept longer due to legal requirements.
