Hey there. We're Yorventhal Quinthos Architecture, operating out of Toronto, Ontario. Been doing sustainable architecture for a while now, and we take your privacy seriously - not just because we have to, but because we'd want the same respect if roles were reversed.
Our office is at 1250 Queen Street West, Suite 401, Toronto, ON M6K 1L3. You can reach us at (416) 555-0192 or info@yorventhalquinthos.info if you've got questions about any of this stuff.
Look, we're not collecting data for fun. When you reach out about a project or browse our site, here's what we might gather:
- Your name, email, phone number (the basics when you contact us)
- Project details and property info (if you're inquiring about our services)
- IP address, browser type, pages visited (standard website analytics)
- Cookies for site functionality (more on that below)
That's pretty much it. We're architects, not data miners.
Your information helps us do our job better. Specifically:
- Responding to your inquiries and project requests
- Developing proposals and architectural plans
- Keeping you updated on ongoing projects
- Improving our website and services
- Sending occasional updates (if you've opted in)
We won't sell your info to third parties. That's not our business model and frankly, it's sketchy.
Yeah, we use cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are small files that help our website remember you and work properly.
We use them for stuff like keeping you logged in, remembering your preferences, and understanding which pages people actually look at. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the site might act weird.
We also use analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to see how people use the site. It's anonymized data that helps us figure out if our website is actually useful or just pretty.
Mostly just us - the team at Yorventhal Quinthos. But sometimes we need to share limited info with:
- Contractors and consultants working on your project
- Service providers (hosting, email, analytics)
- Legal authorities (if required by Canadian law)
Anyone we share with is contractually obligated to keep your information confidential. We vet our partners carefully.
Under Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA), you've got rights:
- Access: See what data we have on you
- Correction: Fix any inaccurate information
- Deletion: Request we delete your data (with some legal exceptions)
- Withdrawal: Opt out of communications anytime
- Complaint: File a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada
Just email us at info@yorventhalquinthos.info and we'll sort it out. Usually takes a few business days.
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. Our website uses SSL encryption, we limit access to personal data within our team, and we regularly update our security practices.
That said, no system is 100% secure. We do our best, but can't guarantee absolute security. If there's ever a breach affecting your data, we'll notify you as required by law.
We keep your personal information only as long as necessary:
- Active project data: Duration of project plus 7 years (standard for architectural firms)
- Inquiries that don't become projects: 2 years, then deleted
- Marketing communications: Until you unsubscribe
After that, it's securely deleted or anonymized for statistical purposes only.
Our site might link to other websites - supplier portfolios, building code resources, that kind of thing. Once you click away from our site, this privacy policy doesn't apply anymore. Those sites have their own policies, and we can't control what they do with your data. Just FYI.
Privacy laws evolve, and so do our practices. We might update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the date at the top and post the new version here.
For major changes, we'll send an email to clients we're actively working with. Otherwise, check back occasionally if you're curious.
Questions, concerns, or just want to chat about privacy stuff? Reach out:
Email: info@yorventhalquinthos.info
Phone: (416) 555-0192
Mail: 1250 Queen Street West, Suite 401, Toronto, ON M6K 1L3
We'll get back to you within a few business days. Promise.
