Uik It Consulting Inc. (referred to throughout this policy as the Company, we, us, or our) is committed to protecting the privacy of every individual who interacts with our website, our services, and our team. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, how we share it, and the choices you have about your information.
This policy applies to information we gather when you visit our website at https://www.uik.lat, when you contact us by email or telephone, and when you engage us for computer systems design and related services. The website and the services are operated by the developer UIK on behalf of Uik It Consulting Inc. Our principal business address is 1216 York Mills Road Suite 101, Toronto - M3A 1Y6, Canada.
By using our website or our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the website and contact us so that we can address your concerns directly. We encourage you to review this policy from time to time, because we may update it as our business and legal obligations evolve.
We collect only the information that is reasonably necessary to deliver our services, respond to your inquiries, and operate our business effectively. The categories of information we may collect include the following.
When you complete a contact form, send us an email, call us, or otherwise communicate with our team, you may provide personal information such as your name, email address, telephone number, job title, company name, and the content of your message. If you engage us for a project, we may also collect billing information, project details, and technical information about your systems.
When you visit our website, our servers may automatically record certain technical information, including your internet protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, and the referring website. This information is generally used in aggregate to understand how visitors use our site and to improve its performance.
In some cases we may receive information about you from third parties, such as business partners, public databases, or service providers that help us verify contact details or perform background checks where required by law.
We collect information through a variety of methods, each of which is designed to be transparent and proportionate to the purpose for which the information is needed.
We do not use any form of unlawful surveillance, and we do not collect more information than is necessary for a clear and legitimate purpose. If we ask you to provide information that is optional, we will make that clear at the point of collection.
We use the information we collect for a range of business purposes that support the services we offer and the relationship we maintain with you. These purposes include the following.
We will not use your personal information for a purpose that is materially different from, and unrelated to, the purposes described in this policy without first providing you with appropriate notice.
Depending on where you are located, data protection law may require us to identify a legal basis for processing your personal information. We rely on one or more of the following legal bases.
Where we rely on consent as a legal basis, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
If we intend to use your personal information for a purpose that is incompatible with the original purpose of collection, we will provide you with notice and, where required, obtain your consent before proceeding. We will only process the minimum amount of information necessary to accomplish each purpose, and we will review our processing activities on a regular basis to ensure they remain necessary and proportionate.
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The specific retention period depends on the nature of the information and the context in which it was collected.
For example, we typically retain correspondence and inquiry records for a reasonable period to respond to follow-up questions, while contract and billing records may be retained for a longer period to satisfy tax and accounting obligations. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
In determining retention periods, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it, and whether those purposes can be achieved by other means.
We take the security of your personal information seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect it against accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, and destruction.
These measures include access controls that limit information to personnel who require it to perform their duties, encryption of data in transit, regular review of our security practices, and training for our team on privacy and confidentiality obligations. We also require our service providers to maintain comparable safeguards.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information using commercially reasonable means, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.
Our principal place of business is in Canada, and we generally process personal information on servers located in Canada and the United States. If you are located outside these countries, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a jurisdiction whose data protection laws may differ from those of your own country.
Where we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to ensure that the information receives an adequate level of protection, including through contractual safeguards and other measures permitted by applicable law. By using our services, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred as described in this policy.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the following.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the How to Contact Us section below. We will respond to your request within the time frame required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
Our website and services are intended for business and professional audiences, and are not directed to individuals under the age of eighteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as quickly as possible.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us using the details below so that we can take appropriate action.
Our website may contain links to third party websites, applications, or services that are not operated by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party website or service you visit or use.
Where our site integrates third party functionality, such as analytics or embedded content, those third parties may collect information about you in accordance with their own policies. We take reasonable steps to work only with reputable providers, but we cannot control how they process information.
Some web browsers offer a Do Not Track feature that sends a signal to websites indicating a preference not to be tracked. At this time, there is no uniform industry standard for how websites should respond to such signals, and our website does not respond differently to Do Not Track signals.
We continue to monitor developments in this area, and we will update this policy if we adopt a formal approach to honoring Do Not Track requests in the future. Regardless of these signals, you can control cookies and similar technologies directly through your browser settings.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide a more prominent notice.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of our website or services after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us using the details below. We are happy to assist you.
We will make every reasonable effort to respond to your inquiry in a timely manner and to resolve any concern you raise about how we handle your personal information. If you believe that your rights under this policy have been infringed, please contact us first so that we can investigate and address the matter directly. We are committed to treating every privacy concern seriously and to responding with transparency and care.
