Effective date: August 21, 2026.
Ontario Contracting Co. is a general contractor working in Brantford, Hamilton and the surrounding region. This policy covers ontariocontractingco.ca and explains what personal information the site collects, why, who we share it with, and what you can do about it. It is written to meet the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the federal law covering personal information handled in the course of commercial activity in Ontario.
What we collect
When you request a quote
The quote form on our home page asks for your name, a phone number, an email address, the kind of project you have in mind, roughly when you want it done, and a budget range. There is a notes box for anything else you want to tell us. Whatever you type into those fields is what we collect — nothing more.
Your request does two things. It reaches us as an email, and it is written to a record in a database on the same server that runs this site. We keep the database copy so a request is never lost because an email failed to send. Both copies contain what you typed, the page you were on when you sent it, the date and time, and how you first arrived at the site. The email also contains the IP address the request came from; the database record stores a one-way scrambled version of it instead, which we cannot turn back into your address.
When you call us
Tapping a phone number on this site records that a call button was clicked, along with which page you were on and how you found us. It does not record the call, your number, or anything you say. We use it to work out which pages actually help people, nothing else.
Web server logs
Like nearly every website, this one runs on a hosting provider's servers, which keep routine access logs recording IP addresses, browser and device type, the pages requested, and timestamps. They are produced by the hosting infrastructure for security and troubleshooting, and we do not use them to build a profile of you.
Why we collect it
There are two reasons, and only two.
- To answer you. If you ask for a quote, we need a way to reach you and enough about the project to give you a real number instead of a vague one.
- To understand which pages are useful. Knowing that a guide led to a phone call tells us to write more like it.
We do not use your information for anything else. We do not build advertising audiences, run retargeting, or add you to a mailing list you did not ask to join.
Who we share it with
Your information may be shared with the following, and nobody else:
- Service providers that carry the message. Our web hosting provider stores the site and processes the form submission, and an email delivery service relays the resulting message to our inbox. They handle it only to provide those services to us.
- Trades working on your project, and only if you hire us. If your job needs an electrician, a plumber or an engineer, they get what they need to do the work. They do not get your details before that, and never for marketing.
We do not sell your information, and we do not pass quote requests to other contractors. When you ask us for a quote, you are talking to the company that would do the work. We do not rent, trade, or hand your details to data brokers, and there is no arrangement under which anyone buys a list from us.
Consent, and how to withdraw it
Filling in the quote form and pressing send is your consent for us to use your information for the two purposes above.
You can withdraw that consent at any time. Call us on 519-757-9384 or email intuitiveattire1@gmail.com and say you want your information removed. We will act on it and confirm when it is done. Withdrawing consent means we stop, so we may not be able to quote the job you asked about, but there is no penalty and no argument about it.
How long we keep it, and how it is protected
We keep what you send only as long as we need it for the purpose you sent it for. In practice that means two places: the working inbox where quote requests arrive, and the database record on our server. When a job is finished or a quote goes nowhere, or whenever you ask, we delete both.
The site is served over HTTPS, so what you type into the form is encrypted in transit between your browser and the server. Access to the inbox and the database is limited to the people running Ontario Contracting Co.
Being straight with you: no method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. We take reasonable steps and cannot promise more than that. We have not been independently audited, we hold no security certification, and this page is not going to claim one.
Cookies and analytics
This site sets no cookies at all. There is no Google Analytics, no advertising pixel, and no third-party tracking script of any kind. Nothing here is shared with an advertising network.
What the site does run is a small script of our own, served from this domain and reporting only back to this domain. Exactly what it does:
- It remembers, for the length of your visit, how you arrived. The first page you landed on, the site that referred you, and any campaign tags in the web address. This is held in your browser's session storage rather than a cookie, and your browser throws it away the moment you close the tab. It cannot follow you between visits.
- It tells us when you click something that matters. Tapping a phone number, clicking a quote button, or starting to fill in the quote form sends us a note that it happened, along with the page you were on and how you arrived. Not what you typed.
- It records a scrambled version of your IP address, run through a one-way function, so we can tell two different clicks apart without being able to work out who or where you are.
None of it is personal information on its own, and none of it is joined to your name unless you choose to send us a quote request. If you would rather it did not run, blocking JavaScript for this domain stops it completely and the rest of the site still works.
Your rights under PIPEDA
You have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to see it, to have mistakes corrected, and to have it deleted. You also have the right to know who we have shared it with. Ask us and we will tell you, in writing if you want it in writing, and we will not charge you for it.
If you think we have handled your information badly and we have not put it right, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca. We would rather you came to us first, but that route exists and you are entitled to use it.
Changes to this policy
If what we collect changes, we update this page and change the effective date at the top before the change goes live. We will not quietly start collecting something new and mention it later.
