Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 22, 2025

Look, we get it—nobody actually enjoys reading these things. But we're pretty straightforward about how we handle your info, so this shouldn't take too long. We built our practice on trust and transparency, and that extends to how we treat your data.

Who We Are

We're Valorix Hollow Architecture, based right here in Toronto at 1247 Queen Street West, Suite 304. We design spaces that work with nature, not against it. And yeah, sometimes that means we need to collect some information from you—but only what's actually necessary.

What Information We Collect

When you reach out to us or work with us, here's what we typically gather:

  • Your name and contact details (email, phone number) when you fill out our contact form
  • Project information you share with us during consultations
  • Site addresses and property details relevant to your project
  • Basic web analytics stuff like IP addresses, browser types, and how you found us
  • Payment and billing information if you become a client

How We Use Your Information

We're not in the business of selling data or spamming inboxes. Here's the honest truth about what we do with your info:

Project Communication

Responding to inquiries, scheduling consultations, and keeping you updated on project progress.

Service Delivery

Actually doing the work you hired us for—designs, permits, consultations, all that good stuff.

Legal Compliance

Meeting Canadian privacy laws and keeping records as required by our professional standards.

Website Improvement

Understanding how people use our site so we can make it better and less annoying.

Cookies & Tracking

Our website uses some cookies—mostly just to remember your preferences and see which pages people actually look at. We use Google Analytics to get a sense of traffic patterns, but we've configured it to anonymize IP addresses. You can block cookies through your browser settings if that's your thing, though some features might not work as smoothly.

Who We Share Information With

We don't sell or rent your personal information to anyone. Period. However, we might share it with:

Contractors and consultants working on your project (structural engineers, sustainability experts, etc.)

Municipal authorities when submitting permits and applications

Professional service providers like our accountant, lawyer, or IT support (all bound by confidentiality agreements)

Legal authorities if we're legally required to do so

Your Rights

Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA and all that), you've got some solid rights:

  • Access: You can ask to see what information we have about you
  • Correction: If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it
  • Deletion: You can request we delete your info (though we might need to keep some records for legal or professional reasons)
  • Opt-out: Don't wanna hear from us? Just say the word and we'll stop sending updates
  • Complaint: If you think we've messed up, you can file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. Our systems are password-protected, we use encrypted connections where possible, and we limit access to personal data to only those team members who actually need it. That said, no system is 100% foolproof—but we're doing our best to keep your stuff safe.

How Long We Keep Your Information

Project files and client records? We typically hang onto those for at least seven years after project completion—that's standard practice in our industry and helps if any questions come up down the road. General inquiries that don't lead to projects are usually deleted within a couple years. Marketing emails get purged if you haven't engaged with us in a while.

Third-Party Links

Our website might link to other sites—suppliers, sustainability organizations, that sort of thing. We're not responsible for their privacy practices, so you'll wanna check their policies separately. We try to only link to reputable sources, but once you click away, you're in their hands.

Changes to This Policy

We might update this policy from time to time as our practices evolve or regulations change. When we do, we'll update the date at the top and might send a heads-up email if the changes are significant. It's probably worth checking back occasionally if you're curious.

Questions or Concerns?

We're pretty approachable folks. If something in here doesn't make sense or you've got privacy concerns, just reach out.
