    Scope of Privacy & User Submissions This privacy framework dictates the handling of data collected exclusively through our digital website, excluding any offline communications.

    Data Collection Practices

    • Voluntary Information: You are welcome to browse our website anonymously. However, to access certain features, request services, or submit forms, you may be required to share personal details such as your name, physical address, email, phone number, and specific appliance details. Providing this information is completely voluntary, though refusing to do so may limit your ability to use certain site functions.

    • Automated Technical Data: Whenever you interact with our platform, our systems automatically collect non-identifiable technical metrics. This generally includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, Internet Service Provider (ISP), and device specifications.

    Data Security & Sensitive Information Warning While we utilize third-party servers and implement standard security protocols (such as SSL encryption) to safeguard your stored data, no electronic transmission is completely infallible. Unless explicitly stated otherwise on a secure page, emails and standard web forms are not fully secure. You must never transmit highly sensitive details—such as your Social Insurance Number (SIN), credit card numbers, or date of birth—through our platform.

    Once you choose to hire an independent contractor or technician through our site, your data handling is transferred to them and becomes subject to their distinct privacy agreements.

    • Allow third-party providers to contact you directly (via phone or email) to fulfill service requests, conduct quality assurance follow-ups, answer inquiries, or send customer experience surveys.
