Look, we get it - nobody really enjoys reading privacy policies. But we're gonna be straight with you about how we handle your info because transparency matters.
Kytheron Quinthar Architectural Domains is a Toronto-based studio that's been helping folks design sustainable spaces and restore heritage buildings. We're located at 1247 Queen Street West, Toronto, ON M6K 1L6, and yeah, we take your privacy seriously.
When you reach out to us about a project or just browse our site, you're trusting us with some of your personal details. This policy breaks down what we do with that trust - no legal jargon overload, promise.
We're not in the business of collecting data for the sake of it. Here's what we might gather:
We're not selling your data to random companies or anything shady like that. Here's the real deal on what we do:
Responding to your inquiries, preparing proposals, managing your architectural projects from concept to completion
Sending updates about your project, answering questions, scheduling site visits
Understanding which services people are most interested in, fixing bugs, making the site easier to navigate
Keeping records for contracts, building permits, and meeting Canadian privacy regulations
We're pretty protective of your data, but sometimes we gotta share it to get the job done:
Project Partners: If you're working with us on a build, we might need to share relevant details with contractors, engineers, or heritage consultants who're part of your project team. They're bound by confidentiality agreements too.
Service Providers: We use some third-party tools for email hosting, website analytics, and project management software. These companies only get access to what they need to provide their services.
Legal Requirements: If the law requires it or if there's a legal dispute, we might have to disclose information. We really don't want to, but sometimes there's no choice.
Yeah, we use cookies - and not the delicious kind. Here's what's happening:
Essential Cookies: These keep the site functioning properly. Can't really turn these off without breaking stuff.
Analytics Cookies: Help us understand which pages people visit most, how long they stay, where they're dropping off. We use this to make the site better.
Preference Cookies: Remember your settings like language preferences or if you've already seen certain notifications.
Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. Just know that blocking all cookies might make some parts of our site not work as smoothly.
Under Canadian privacy law (and just because it's the right thing to do), you've got some solid rights:
Request a copy of what personal information we've got on file for you
If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it
Ask us to delete your personal data (unless we legally have to keep it for contracts or permits)
Change your mind about marketing emails or other non-essential communications anytime
To exercise any of these rights, just shoot us an email at info@kytheronquinthar.info or give us a call. We'll get back to you within 30 days.
We take security seriously, even though no system is 100% bulletproof. Here's what we do:
If there's ever a data breach (knock on wood), we'll let you know promptly and tell you what steps we're taking to fix it.
We keep your information only as long as we need it. For active projects, that means throughout the project lifecycle and for a few years after for warranty and legal purposes. If you've just inquired but didn't move forward, we'll typically keep that for about a year in case you change your mind.
After that? We securely delete or anonymize your data unless there's a legal reason to hang onto it longer (like building permits or contracts).
Our website might link to other sites - maybe material suppliers, partner firms, or resources we think you'd find useful. Once you click those links, you're on their turf and their privacy policies apply. We can't control what they do with your data, so check their policies if you're concerned.
Privacy laws evolve, our business changes, and sometimes we need to update this policy. When we do, we'll update the date at the top and post the new version here. If there's something major, we'll probably send an email to let you know.
It's worth checking back occasionally to see if anything's changed - we try to make it as readable as possible.
If you've got questions about this privacy policy, want to access your data, or just need clarification on something - we're here for you.

We'll do our best to respond within a couple of business days. If your question's urgent, calling is probably your best bet.
Bottom line: We respect your privacy because we'd want ours respected too. We collect what we need to do our job well, we protect it carefully, and we're transparent about our practices. If that changes, we'll let you know.
