Privacy Policy
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: April 16, 2026
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, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Quebec's Law 25.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website or engage our design and permit consulting services.
What is "Personal Information"?
"Personal Information" means any information that can be used to identify you. This includes details like your name, address, phone number, and email address provided during the project intake process.
Accountability
We are responsible for the Personal Information in our possession or control. This primarily includes information provided directly by clients for the purpose of obtaining building permits and design services. Edward Vega serves as our designated Privacy Officer.
Consent
BY PROVIDING PERSONAL INFORMATION TO US, YOU AGREE TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF THAT INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF FULFILLING YOUR DESIGN OR PERMIT REQUESTS.
We only ask for the information necessary to provide our services (e.g., site addresses for feasibility studies or contact info for permit applications). You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting our privacy officer, though this may limit our ability to complete your project.
Collection of Personal Information
What We Collect
We collect information that you provide to us directly, including:
- Your name, site address, phone number, and email address
- Details about your project needs, property constraints, and requirements
- Behavioral data: Information about how you interact with our website (e.g., which services you view) to help us improve our site layout.
Where Data is Stored
Your Personal Information is stored in secured locations and on servers controlled by Canadian Blueprint Inc. Some data (like website analytics) may be stored on Google or Microsoft servers in the USA, subject to their respective security standards.
How We Use Your Personal Information
We use your information strictly for professional purposes:
- To provide design, drafting, and permit consulting services.
- To communicate with municipal planning departments or structural engineers on your behalf.
- To invoice for services rendered.
- To improve our website's usability based on visitor behavior.
We do not sell your data, and we do not send marketing or promotional email blasts. Our office is located in Coquitlam, BC.
Our Website & Tracking Technologies
Cookies & Analytics
We use cookies to monitor site use and improve the visitor experience. We specifically use:
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4): To measure site traffic.
- Google Ads Conversion Tracking: To see which ad keywords led to a project inquiry.
- Microsoft Clarity: To identify if users are having trouble navigating our site through heatmaps and session recordings.
Website Usability & Technical Support
To ensure our site is as easy to navigate as our blueprints, we use a tool called Microsoft Clarity. This acts as a diagnostic tool that helps us see if pages are loading slowly on your device or if a button isn't working correctly.
- Purpose: We use this purely to fix technical "glitches" and improve the layout of our site for all visitors.
- Privacy: This tool helps us see how the site performs, not who you are. We do not use this to identify individuals, and no sensitive project documents, payment details, or personal files are ever captured.
Communication Methods
Email is our primary method for project coordination. While we use standard security practices, unencrypted email is not 100% secure. If you require encrypted communication for sensitive project files, please let us know.
Your Opt-Out Rights
You may opt-out of tracking at any time:
- Google Analytics: Opt-out Link
- Microsoft Clarity: Privacy Dashboard
- General: Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada
