Data collection and sources

We collect data necessary to provide and improve services, process requests and payments, communicate about appointments, and analyze site usage. Data sources include information provided directly by users, data gathered automatically during website use, and data shared by third-party partners when required for service delivery.

Payment and billing information needed to process invoices and payments, limited to what is required by our payment processors.
Communications records such as emails, messages, and call notes related to scheduling, service instructions, or follow-up.
Customer feedback, survey responses, and optional profile information used to tailor service recommendations.
Identification records where required to verify identity for contractual or safety reasons, for example to confirm access permissions for remote properties.

Third-party service partners and contractors who receive minimal necessary contact and site information to perform scheduled work.

Purposes of data processing

We process personal data for several operational and administrative reasons. Below are the primary purposes and contexts in which data is used:

To deliver requested services, including scheduling, on-site assessments, and dispatching contractors.

To protect network and service security, detect abuse, and prevent fraudulent or harmful activity.
To provide marketing communications where a user has opted in to receive such materials, and to manage preferences and unsubscribes.

Depending on jurisdiction and the nature of processing, we rely on one or more legal bases to process personal data. Typical bases include:

Performance of a contract: processing necessary to provide services requested by the user, such as scheduling and billing.
Legal obligation: processing required to comply with laws, tax rules, or regulatory duties.

How we share data

We share personal data only as necessary for service delivery, legal compliance, and to support business operations. Shared data recipients include:

International data transfers

Data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the user’s country of residence, including providers located outside Canada. Transfers occur only when necessary for service delivery or operations.

When data is transferred internationally, we use contractual safeguards, rely on approved transfer mechanisms where available, and take steps to ensure an adequate level of protection consistent with applicable legal requirements.

Data retention

Account and customer records are retained for the duration of the customer relationship and for a period thereafter consistent with accounting, tax, and regulatory requirements.

Communications and support records are retained for a period necessary to respond to inquiries, maintain service records, and improve support processes, typically limited to a few years unless longer retention is required by law.

System logs and security-related records are retained for operational and security analysis for a limited period, after which they are securely deleted or archived in anonymized form.

When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it in a secure manner, unless retention is needed for legal compliance or legitimate business interests.
