Privacy Policy

How we handle your information and protect your trust

Last Updated: October 21, 2025

Your privacy matters to us. We're committed to transparency.

Introduction

Look, we get it - privacy policies can be a total slog to read through. But here's the thing: we actually care about how your info gets handled, so we've tried to make this as straightforward as possible.

At Krythborn Realm Architecture, we've been designing spaces across Toronto and beyond since day one with integrity at our core. That same principle applies to how we treat your personal data. This policy explains what we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it safe.

By using our website or working with us, you're agreeing to the practices outlined here. If something doesn't sit right with you, reach out - we're always open to questions.

Information We Collect

We're not in the business of hoarding data - we only collect what's actually useful for delivering our architectural services and improving your experience.

Personal Information

When you fill out a contact form or reach out about a project, we'll typically collect:

  • Your name and how you prefer to be addressed
  • Email address and phone number
  • Mailing address (especially if we're working on your property)
  • Company name if you're reaching out for commercial work
  • Project details, budget considerations, and timeline info
Technical Information

Like most websites these days, we automatically gather some technical stuff:

  • IP address and general location data
  • Browser type and device info
  • Pages you visit and how long you stick around
  • Referring websites and search terms
  • Date and time stamps of your visits
Project-Related Information

Once we're actually working together, we'll collect additional details like property measurements, site photos, design preferences, and any permits or legal documents needed for your project.

How We Use Your Information

We're not gonna beat around the bush - here's exactly what we do with your info:

Service Delivery

Responding to inquiries, preparing proposals, executing design work, and managing your architectural projects from concept through completion.

Communication

Keeping you updated on project progress, answering questions, sending relevant updates about our services, and occasionally sharing portfolio work.

Website Improvement

Analyzing how people use our site so we can make it better, fix bugs, and create content that's actually useful to potential clients.

Legal Compliance

Meeting our obligations under Canadian privacy laws, maintaining records for tax purposes, and protecting against fraud or legal issues.

When We Share Your Data

We're not selling your info to anyone - full stop. But there are some situations where we need to share it:

Service Providers

We work with trusted partners - structural engineers, contractors, surveyors, and consultants - who help bring projects to life. They only get what's necessary for their specific role, and they're bound by confidentiality agreements.

Legal Requirements

If we're legally required to disclose information - like for building permits, regulatory compliance, or court orders - we'll do so. But we'll always notify you unless we're legally prohibited from doing that.

Business Transitions

In the unlikely event we're acquired or merge with another firm, your information would be transferred as part of that transaction. You'd be notified, and the same privacy protections would apply.

With Your Consent

Sometimes we'll ask if we can feature your completed project in our portfolio or marketing materials. That's always your call, and we won't use project photos or details without your explicit permission.

Cookies and Tracking

Yeah, we use cookies - not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are small files that help our website function properly and give us insights into how it's being used.

Types of Cookies We Use:
  • Essential Cookies: These keep the site working - things like remembering your preferences and maintaining security.
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand which pages get visited most, where people are clicking, and how we can improve things.
  • Functionality Cookies: Remember your settings and preferences so you don't have to re-enter them every visit.

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can block or delete them, though doing so might affect how well the site works for you.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA and provincial regulations), you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal information:

Access

You can request a copy of what personal info we've got on file for you.

Correction

If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it.

Deletion

You can ask us to delete your data, unless we're required to keep it for legal or contractual reasons.

Opt-Out

Don't want marketing emails? No problem - there's an unsubscribe link in every message we send.

To exercise any of these rights, just shoot us an email at info@krythbornrealm.info. We'll respond within 30 days, usually way sooner than that.

Data Security

We take security seriously, but let's be real - no system is 100% hack-proof. That said, we've put solid measures in place to protect your information:

Encryption

SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted through our website.

Access Control

Only authorized team members can access client data, and it's logged.

Secure Storage

Data is stored on secure Canadian servers with regular backups.

If we ever experience a data breach that affects your information, we'll notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by law.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We don't hang onto your information forever - just as long as we need it:

  • Active Projects: We keep all project-related data for the duration of the work plus 7 years afterward (that's standard for architectural records in Canada).
  • Inquiries: If you reach out but we don't end up working together, we'll keep your info for about 2 years in case you change your mind.
  • Marketing: If you've opted into our newsletter or updates, we'll keep your contact info until you unsubscribe.
  • Financial Records: Tax law requires we keep financial documents for at least 7 years.

Third-Party Links

Our website might link to other sites - suppliers, partners, or resources we think are useful. Just so you know, we can't control what those sites do with your data. Once you click through, their privacy policies apply, not ours. Always worth checking those out before sharing any personal info.

Children's Privacy

Our services aren't directed at anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect information from minors. If you're a parent and think your kid has shared info with us, please get in touch so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We might update this policy from time to time as our practices evolve or laws change. When we do, we'll update the date at the top and post the revised version here. For major changes, we'll send an email to let you know.

It's a good idea to check back occasionally, especially if it's been a while since you last read through this.

Questions or Concerns?

If anything in this policy is unclear, or if you've got concerns about how we're handling your information, we genuinely want to hear from you.
