Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2024  |  GarageScape  |  Calgary, Alberta

GarageScape ("we," "us," or "our") operates garagescape.ca and provides garage decluttering, organization, and cleaning services in Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Cochrane, and Chestermere, Alberta. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

We take privacy seriously. We are a small Alberta business and we collect only what we need to do our work. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for purposes beyond what is described here.

If you have questions about this policy or want to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, contact us at info@garagescape.ca or call (587) 804-9266.

1. Information We Collect

Contact Form Submissions

When you submit a quote request or contact form on our website, we collect the following information:

  • Full name
  • Phone number
  • Email address (if provided)
  • Location (city or neighbourhood)
  • Service type requested
  • Any additional details you include in your message

This information is submitted through Formspree, a third-party form processing service. Formspree transmits your submission to our email inbox. Formspree's own privacy policy governs how they handle data in transit; you can review it at formspree.io/privacy. We do not store form data on our own servers.

Phone and Email Inquiries

When you call or email us directly, we may retain your phone number, email address, and the details of your inquiry in order to follow up, schedule a quote, or complete your service request. This information is held in our business email and is not shared with third parties.

Service Records

Once we complete a job, we may retain a basic record of the service date, location (neighbourhood level), and type of service performed. We do not record or retain photos of your property without your explicit consent.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect solely for the following purposes:

  • To respond to quote requests and general inquiries
  • To schedule and confirm service appointments
  • To follow up after a completed service if there is a question or concern
  • To contact you if you have a pending or in-progress service request

We do not use your contact information for marketing, newsletters, or promotional communications unless you have specifically asked to receive them. This reflects our obligations under Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

3. CASL Compliance and Marketing Communications

Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) requires that we obtain express or implied consent before sending commercial electronic messages. We interpret this strictly.

Submitting a contact form to request a quote constitutes implied consent under CASL to receive a direct response to that specific request. It does not constitute consent to receive ongoing marketing emails, promotional offers, or newsletters.

If you would like to receive occasional updates from GarageScape (such as seasonal service reminders or promotions), you can opt in by emailing info@garagescape.ca with that request. You may withdraw this consent at any time by replying to any message with "unsubscribe" or by emailing us directly.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party, ever. The only external parties who may have access to limited information are:

  • Formspree: Processes our contact form data and delivers it to our email. They are a data processor acting on our behalf. Formspree is SOC 2 compliant and does not use submitted data for advertising purposes.
  • Vercel Analytics: Our website is hosted on Vercel, which collects anonymous, aggregated web traffic data (page views, device type, general geography). Vercel Analytics does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. We use this data only to understand how our website is being used in general terms.
  • Google Fonts: Our website loads the Poppins typeface from Google Fonts. When your browser loads a Google Font, a request is made to Google's servers. Google may log the IP address and browser user agent for this request. We do not control this data. If this is a concern, you can use a browser extension to block external font loading.

We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory authority in Alberta or Canada. We will notify you of any such requirement to the extent permitted by law.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Our website does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party marketing tools. We do not run Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar behavioural tracking technologies.

The only functional cookies on our website are those that may be set by your browser or by Vercel's infrastructure to support basic site function (such as session handling). These are strictly necessary cookies and do not track you across other websites or build a behavioural profile.

Vercel Analytics operates without cookies and without collecting personally identifiable information, relying instead on anonymous page-level metrics.

6. Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions and service records for a period of up to three years for the purpose of resolving any disputes, processing warranty claims, or maintaining service history. After this period, records are deleted from our email and any associated tools.

If you ask us to delete your information before that period, we will do so unless retention is required by law (for example, for tax purposes).

7. Your Rights Under Alberta PIPA

Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) gives you the right to:

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Withdraw consent to our collection or use of your personal information
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@garagescape.ca. We will respond within 30 days. If you believe your rights under PIPA have been violated and we have not resolved your concern, you may contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta at oipc.ab.ca.

8. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information in our custody. Our email is protected by two-factor authentication. We do not store payment card information; we do not process payments digitally at this time. Payments are accepted in person by e-transfer or cash at time of service completion.

No internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to us through our contact form. However, we limit what we collect to reduce the sensitivity of information at risk.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are directed at homeowners and property managers, not at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to external sites such as Google Maps or social media platforms. Once you leave garagescape.ca, we have no control over the privacy practices of those external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
