Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Gold Hastings Inc. ("Gold Hastings," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information in connection with http://localhost:3000 (the "Website"). We are based in Nova Scotia, Canada, and this policy is written to reflect the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Canadian privacy law.

By using this Website, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide directly. When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, phone number (optional), company (optional), the service you're interested in (optional), and the message you write.
• Automatically collected information. Standard technical information (such as pages visited and general device/browser information) may be collected through cookies, described in Cookies & Tracking Technologies below.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of personal information (such as health or financial account details) through this Website. Do not include such information in the contact form.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and consultation requests
• Provide, operate, and improve the Website
• Communicate with you about services you've asked about
• Maintain the security and integrity of the Website
• Meet legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations

We do not sell personal information. We only use it for the purposes described here or as otherwise disclosed to you at the time of collection.

We use cookies to operate the Website and, where you consent, to understand how it's used. Our cookie banner lets you Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or Manage Preferences across three categories:

• Necessary — required for the Website to function (e.g., remembering your cookie preference). These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics — would help us understand how visitors use the Website. Not currently active; reserved for future use if we enable an analytics provider.
• Marketing — would support advertising or retargeting. Not currently active; reserved for future use.

You can change your preferences at any time from the "Manage Preferences" link in the footer. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.

If you contact us, we'll use your email address to reply to your inquiry. We only send commercial electronic messages (for example, service updates) with your consent, in accordance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). Every such message includes a way to unsubscribe or withdraw consent.

We use a limited number of third-party service providers to operate the Website. As of the date above, this includes:

• Resend — processes and delivers contact form submissions to our inbox by email.
• Our hosting provider — serves the Website and may log standard technical/server data as part of normal operation.

We do not currently use third-party analytics or advertising services. If that changes, this policy and the cookie banner will be updated accordingly, and any new provider will only process personal information under contractual confidentiality and security obligations.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain contact form submissions and related correspondence only as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, maintain business records, and meet legal or accounting obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to:

• Know why we collect, use, or disclose your personal information
• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Withdraw consent to further collection, use, or disclosure, subject to legal or contractual restrictions
• File a complaint about our handling of your personal information

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. If you're not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

This Website is intended for a business audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
