This policy covers binarypact.com. Binary Pact is a sole proprietorship in Windsor, Ontario, run by Steve, who is responsible for how personal information is handled here. A site we host for a client has its own privacy policy, which is the client’s to set.
If you use the contact form
The form asks for your name, your email address, your phone number if you choose to give it, and your message. We use them only to answer you, as the federal privacy law (PIPEDA) requires, and we don’t sell them or add you to a mailing list.
The form emails your enquiry to us and keeps no copy on the website’s server. It’s sent through Amazon SES in Montreal, which keeps a delivery log. Amazon is a US company, so that log is stored in Canada but within reach of US law.
Your enquiry then sits in our mailbox with Proton Mail. Proton is a Swiss company, so it may be held outside Canada. We keep it for as long as we need it to deal with your enquiry and for our business records, then delete it.
Please don’t send payment card numbers, health information, government ID numbers or passwords through the form.
When you visit the site
Our servers log each visit: your IP address and country, the page, the time and your browser. We use the logs only to keep the site running and secure, such as finding a fault, a slow page or an attack. They’re deleted after 14 days, aren’t part of our backups, and are never used to track or profile visitors.
The site’s servers are with OVHcloud in Beauharnois, Quebec, and its backups are with Backblaze in Toronto. Visitor traffic passes through Cloudflare, which protects the site and may process that traffic outside Canada.
Cookies and analytics
We don’t run analytics, advertising or tracking on this site. WordPress sets sign-in cookies for people who log in, and Cloudflare may set a short-lived security cookie if it needs to check a visit.
Your information
You can ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email [email protected]. If you’re not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
If this policy changes, we’ll update it here and change the date at the top.
