• When required by law, court order, or governmental authority.
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Schkovl Tech, our clients, or others.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 24 months and may be deleted upon request.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses Google Analytics 4 to help us understand aggregate website usage and performance. Analytics is activated only after you consent through the analytics banner. If you decline or do not make a choice, Google Analytics does not load and sends no requests. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by reopening Analytics preferences and selecting Decline or Accept.

When enabled, Google Analytics collects device, browser, and website activity data and uses first-party cookies containing pseudonymous client identifiers. Google acts as our data processor for this information. We retain Google Analytics event data for 2 months.

We do not use Google Analytics for advertising personalization or to create cross-site advertising profiles. Google Signals is turned off and Google Ads is not linked. Our website does not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels. Basic server-side logging may capture technical data (IP address, browser, referrer) for security and diagnostic purposes only.

6. Your Rights (PIPEDA / Canadian Privacy Law)

As a resident of Canada or a user of our services, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Withdraw consent to the collection or use of your personal information (subject to legal or contractual restrictions).
• Request deletion of your personal information where we are not legally required to retain it.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at build@schkovl.com.

7. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.
