Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

YourBizSite.ca is a service of Brents Essentials Corp, a company incorporated in Ontario, Canada. We provide website design, development, and digital marketing services to small businesses, primarily in the Greater Toronto Area.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website or engage our services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide to us, including:

• Name — to address you personally and on project documentation
• Email address — to send quotes, updates, and service communications
• Phone number — for consultation calls and project coordination
• Business information — such as your business name, industry, and website goals, to deliver relevant services

We collect this information when you submit a contact form, request a free audit, book a consultation, or otherwise communicate with us.

We do not use cookies for tracking, and we do not use Google Analytics or other third-party analytics platforms on this website.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide requested services
• Send project quotes, proposals, and service updates
• Schedule and confirm consultations
• Deliver completed website or marketing projects
• Send occasional follow-up communications relevant to your business needs

We will not send you unsolicited promotional emails without your consent. You may opt out of any non-essential communications at any time by replying to any email with "unsubscribe."

4. Payment Information

When you purchase services from Brents Essentials Corp, payment is processed securely through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. We do not store your credit card number, CVV, or full payment details on our servers.

Stripe may collect and store payment data in accordance with their own privacy policy, available at stripe.com/privacy. We only retain records of the transaction amount, date, and associated service for our own invoicing and accounting purposes.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — such as our payment processor (Stripe) or email platform, solely to deliver services you requested
• Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or government authority
• Business transfers — in the unlikely event of a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to deliver our services and comply with our legal obligations. If you are a client, we typically retain project records and communications for up to 7 years for accounting and tax purposes, as required under Ontario law.

If you submitted an inquiry but did not become a client, your information is retained for up to 12 months and then deleted.

You may request deletion of your information at any time (see Your Rights below).

7. Your Rights

Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Ontario privacy law, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Withdraw consent for non-essential uses of your data
• Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal retention requirements)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact section below. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Our website uses HTTPS encryption, and access to client data is restricted to authorized personnel only.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website or services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
