Privacy Policy

We build websites for a living, so we know exactly how much data a website can quietly collect. This page explains what we collect, why, and what you can ask us to do about it, in plain language.

Effective August 4, 2026We never sell your data
No data selling, ever

We don't sell, rent or trade personal information to anyone.

You own your project data

Code, accounts, analytics and customer records stay yours.

One inbox for requests

Email us and a person answers within five business days.

01

Who we are

Integriti Studio designs, builds and grows websites: web development, ecommerce, SEO and CRO, for businesses in Canada, the US and beyond. This policy covers integritistudio.com and the services we deliver to clients.

We act in two different roles. On our own website we’re the controller of the information you give us. On client projects, we’re a processor: the data belongs to our client, and we only handle it to do the work they’ve asked for.

02

What we collect

Only what we need to answer you and run the work. Nothing is required beyond what's marked on a form.

You give usName, email, phone, company, your website URL, and whatever you write in a quote request, audit request or email.
Collected automaticallyPages viewed, referring source, approximate location, device and browser type, and anonymised IP, collected through analytics cookies.
From client workAccess credentials, hosting and CMS accounts, analytics properties, and files you share with us during a project.
We don't collectPayment card numbers, government IDs, health data, or any special-category personal information.
03

How we use it

To reply to quote requests, free site audits and general enquiries.
To scope, deliver, support and invoice the work you've hired us for.
To understand which pages of our own site are useful and improve them.
To send occasional updates to clients, but only if you asked for them, and every email has an unsubscribe link.
To meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations.

Where GDPR applies, we rely on your consent (analytics, marketing email), contract performance (delivering the work), and legitimate interest (running and securing the business).

04

Cookies & analytics

We use a small number of cookies. Essential ones keep the site working and remember your cookie choice. Analytics cookies tell us how the site is performing, and only load if you accept them.

You can withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time from the banner, or clear cookies in your browser settings.

05

Client & project data

Building and maintaining a website means we often get access to your systems, and sometimes to your customers' data inside them. Three commitments cover how we handle it.

Access, not ownershipWe only use client systems to do the agreed work, never for our own purposes.
Least privilegeIndividual accounts at the lowest level needed, revoked when the work ends.
Clean handoverYou own the code, accounts and files. Ask and we'll hand everything over.
No test data in the wildStaging environments use anonymised data and stay closed to search engines.
06

Who we share it with

We don't sell or trade personal information. We share it only with the service providers that make our work possible, each bound by their own data agreements:

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)Hosting & CDNEmail & calendarCRM & project managementInvoicing & accountingPlatform partners (Shopify, WordPress)

Some of these providers store data in the United States or the EU. Where information leaves Canada, we rely on contractual safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights.

07

How long we keep it

Enquiries that don't become projects are deleted after 24 months. Client records are kept for the length of the engagement and up to seven years afterwards, where tax and contract law requires it. Analytics data expires automatically after 14 months. Access credentials are revoked within five business days of a project closing.

08

How we protect it

Encrypted connections everywhere, a password manager with two-factor authentication on every account, role-based access for the team, and encrypted backups. No system is perfect. If a breach ever affects your information, we'll tell you and the relevant regulator without delay.

09

Your rights

Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) and, where it applies, the GDPR, you can ask us to:

Show you the information we hold
Correct anything inaccurate
Delete it, where we're not required to keep it
Export it in a portable format
Withdraw consent or object to a use
Complain to a privacy regulator

Email info@integritistudio.com and we’ll respond within 30 days, usually much sooner. If your request concerns data we hold for a client, we’ll pass it to them and support their response.

10

Changes to this policy

When our tools or services change, this page changes with them. The effective date at the top always reflects the current version, and for anything material we'll notify active clients by email before it takes effect.
