Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Look, we're Mythic Stormbound Architecture, based out of West Vancouver. We design buildings that can actually stand up to what the coast throws at 'em. Our office address is 1245 Marine Drive, West Vancouver, BC V7T 1B2, Canada. When you reach out or work with us, we're gonna collect some info – and we thought you should know exactly what we do with it.

What Information We Collect

We're not here to hoard data. We collect what we actually need to do our job properly:

• Contact details – your name, email, phone number when you get in touch
• Project information – site details, design preferences, budget considerations (kinda need this stuff to design your building)
• Communication records – emails, meeting notes, sketches you send us
• Website usage data – basic analytics like which pages you visit, how long you stick around
• Business info – if you're a contractor or supplier, we'll keep your company details on file

How We Use Your Information

Pretty straightforward, really:

• To respond to your inquiries and provide quotes
• To design and deliver architectural services you've hired us for
• To communicate about your project (updates, questions, those inevitable design revisions)
• To comply with building codes, permits, and legal requirements
• To improve our website and services
• To send occasional updates about storm-resilient design practices (only if you've said it's cool)

We're definitely not selling your info to marketing companies or spamming you with junk.

Cookies & Website Tracking

Yeah, we use cookies – the digital kind, not the tasty ones. They help us understand how people use our site so we can make it better. Most browsers let you control cookies through settings. Turn 'em off if you want, though some site features might not work as smoothly.

We use Google Analytics to see general traffic patterns. It's anonymized data, nothing that identifies you personally.

Who We Share Information With

We're not chatty with your data, but sometimes we gotta share:

• Engineering consultants – structural engineers, environmental specialists who work on your project
• Municipal authorities – building departments need permit applications with your property info
• Contractors – when you've approved them to build the design
• Legal/professional requirements – if the law says we have to

Everyone we work with is bound by professional confidentiality or contracts. We don't just hand stuff out.

How We Protect Your Information

We take security seriously. Our systems use encryption, secure servers, and regular backups. Physical documents are locked up. Digital files are password-protected. We're not Fort Knox, but we're doing what responsible professionals should do.

That said, no system is 100% bulletproof. We'll let you know right away if there's ever a breach that affects your data.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Project files? We keep those for at least 10 years – that's pretty standard in architecture for liability and warranty purposes. Some records might stick around longer if required by professional regulations or building codes.

If you just sent us an inquiry and we never worked together, we'll usually clear that out after a couple years.

Your Rights

Under Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA and BC's privacy legislation), you've got rights:

• Ask to see what personal info we have about you
• Request corrections if something's wrong
• Ask us to delete your data (within legal limits – we can't toss permit records, for example)
• Opt out of marketing communications anytime
• Lodge a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner if you think we've messed up

Just shoot us an email at info@mythicstormbound.info or call (604) 555-0127 if you wanna exercise any of these rights.

Third-Party Links

Sometimes we link to other websites – manufacturers, sustainability resources, whatever. Once you click away from our site, this privacy policy doesn't apply anymore. Check out their policies instead.

Changes to This Policy

We might update this from time to time – new regulations, changes in how we work, that sort of thing. We'll post the updated version here with a new date at the top. For major changes, we'll probably send an email to active clients.
