It follows Quebec&#8217;s private-sector privacy law (Law 25) and Canada&#8217;s anti-spam law (CASL).<\/p>\n<h2>2. Person in charge of your personal information<\/h2>\n<p>Under Law 25, our owner is the person in charge of protecting personal information.<\/p>\n<p>Contact: Person in charge of personal information, Electrika Inc., 7864 Elmslie St, Lasalle, Quebec H8N 2W6 \u00b7 service@electrika.ca \u00b7 <span class=\"ek-nodni\">514<\/span>&#8211;<span class=\"ek-nodni\">768<\/span>&#8211;<span class=\"ek-nodni\">7778<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2>3. What we collect, and why<\/h2>\n<p>We only collect what we need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you ask for a quote or book a visit<\/strong> (website form, phone, email or text): your name, phone number, email, service address and what you need. We use it to answer you, book the visit and prepare your estimate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When we do the work:<\/strong> job notes, photos of the work, details of your equipment (brand, model, age), estimates, invoices and payments. We use it to do the job, honour warranties and keep our accounting records. Card payments are processed by our payment providers. If you choose financing, you apply directly with our financing partner, Financeit, under its own privacy policy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phone calls:<\/strong> our website and ads show call tracking numbers (see section 5). They tell us which page or ad led to your call: your number, the time and how long the call lasted. Calls may be recorded for quality and training.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emails and text messages:<\/strong> appointment confirmations and reminders, estimate follow-ups, maintenance reminders, and, only if you agreed, offers and news. See section 6 and our Messaging Terms &amp; Conditions at the bottom of this page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reviews:<\/strong> after a job we may ask you for a review. When you post a public review (for example on Google), we can see it and reply.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Job applicants:<\/strong> name, contact details, r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and your answers, whether you apply by email or through one of our job ad forms on Facebook or Instagram. We use them only to fill the job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our website:<\/strong> see section 5.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Who we share it with<\/h2>\n<p><strong>We do not sell, rent, or share your opt-in data and phone numbers with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.<\/strong> To stop receiving messages, reply STOP, CANCEL, or UNSUBSCRIBE.<\/p>\n<p>We do not sell your personal information. We share only what each provider needs to do its job for us, under contract:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ServiceTitan: our customer, scheduling and invoicing software; it also sends our emails and texts.<\/li>\n<li>Google: website statistics (Google Analytics), ads (Google Ads) and reviews (Google Business Profile).<\/li>\n<li>Meta (Facebook, Instagram): ads and ad forms.<\/li>\n<li>Microsoft: business email (Microsoft 365) and website statistics (Clarity).<\/li>\n<li>Our website host and security services, and our email sending service.<\/li>\n<li>Our payment providers, and Financeit if you apply for financing.<\/li>\n<li>Government or police, only when the law requires it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some of these providers keep information outside Quebec, mostly in the United States. We only share what each one needs, and they must protect it under contract.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Cookies and call tracking on our website<\/h2>\n<p>Cookies are small files your browser keeps. Some are needed and always on: they make the site work and remember your cookie choice.<\/p>\n<p>The others stay off until you say yes. When you first visit, a box lets you accept all or choose item by item:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Visit statistics and click maps<\/strong> (Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity): how many people visit and which pages they read, and where visitors click and scroll, including short replays of visits without your name. We see totals and patterns, not who you are.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ad results<\/strong> (Google Ads): whether a visit from one of our ads led to a call or a request.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ads that fit you<\/strong> (Google Ads): showing you our offers again on search and video sites, based on your visit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Social media ads<\/strong> (Meta pixel): measuring our ads on Facebook and Instagram and showing you our offers there. Your visit is shared with Meta for this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can change your choice at any time: <a href=\"#\" class=\"cn-revoke-cookie cn-button-inline cn-revoke-inline\" title=\"Cookie settings\">Cookie settings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call tracking numbers.<\/strong> Our website shows a phone number from our call tracking service (ServiceTitan) instead of our main number. It tells us which page or ad led to your call. While your browser tab is open, it keeps the page you arrived on and the ad you came from (for example a Google ad click code); it does not use cookies. When you call, ServiceTitan links your call to that visit so we know which of our ads work, and may report the result to Google Ads. Your call still reaches our team like any other call. To call without it, use our main number: <span class=\"ek-nodni\">514<\/span>&#8211;<span class=\"ek-nodni\">768<\/span>&#8211;<span class=\"ek-nodni\">7778<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Emails<\/h2>\n<p>Service emails (confirmations, estimates, invoices) are part of the work you asked for. Offers and news are sent only with your consent or as Canada&#8217;s anti-spam law allows. Every one has an unsubscribe link.<\/p>\n<h2>7. How long we keep it<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Customer and job records: as long as we need them to serve you, honour warranties, meet tax law (at least 6 years) and measure how our marketing performs. You can ask us to delete them at any time by writing to service@electrika.ca; we will then delete them or make them anonymous, unless the law requires us to keep them.<\/li>\n<li>Job applicants who are not hired: 12 months, then deleted.<\/li>\n<li>Website statistics: kept to measure how our website and marketing perform. Google Analytics deletes detailed visit records on its own after 14 months at most; the totals and trends in our reports stay and do not identify you. You can ask us to delete your data at any time by writing to service@electrika.ca.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After that, we destroy the information or make it anonymous.<\/p>\n<h2>8. How we protect it<\/h2>\n<p>Only staff who need the information can see it. Our business accounts are protected by passwords. Our providers are bound by contract to protect it.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Your rights<\/h2>\n<p>You can ask us to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>see the personal information we hold about you;<\/li>\n<li>correct it;<\/li>\n<li>withdraw your consent (for example to texts, emails or cookies);<\/li>\n<li>stop using or sharing it, or delete it when the law allows;<\/li>\n<li>give you a copy in a common format.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Write to the person in charge (section 2). We answer within 30 days, free of charge. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Commission d&#8217;acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l&#8217;information du Qu\u00e9bec (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cai.gouv.qc.ca\/\">cai.gouv.qc.ca<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>10.

Big changes are announced on our website.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1 id=\"messaging-terms\">Messaging Terms &amp; Conditions<\/h1>\n<p>You agree to receive informational messages (appointment reminders, account notifications, etc.) from Electrika at the number you provide.
