TLDR:

I collect what I need to do good work for you. I don’t sell your data. Depending on the project, I may use third-party services that have their own privacy practices. Here’s the breakdown.

What Information I Collect

When You Contact Me

When you reach out about a project, I collect: your name, email address, phone number (if provided), and details about your project or idea. This helps me understand what you need and respond appropriately.

When We Work Together

During a project, I may collect additional information depending on the work: business details (for branding/strategy work), content and assets you provide, login credentials for services I’m helping you manage (stored securely), and billing information for invoicing.

Website Visitors

When you visit martinit.ca, I may collect basic analytics like pages visited, referral source, and general location (city-level). I use privacy-focused analytics that don’t track individuals or use cookies for advertising.

How I Use Your Information

I use your information to: respond to inquiries and communicate about projects, deliver the services you’ve hired me for, send invoices and manage payments, improve my services based on project outcomes, and follow up on completed work (only if you’ve opted in).

Third-Party Services

Depending on your project, I may use various tools and integrations. Here’s what each one does and what data they might handle:

Helcim

When it applies: When you pay an invoice or purchase a product through my site, that information goes through Helcim.

What data is involved: Transaction data, with payment details handled by Helcim directly.

Their privacy policy: helcim.com/privacy

Cloudflare

When it applies: We use Cloudflare for security, bot protection, and performance.

What data is involved: Visitor IP addresses and request data pass through Cloudflare’s network for security filtering and caching.

Postmark

When it applies: When you get an email through the website, that goes through PostMark. This includes transactional emails (order confirmations, password resets, notifications).

What data is involved: Recipient email addresses and email content.

Their privacy policy: postmarkapp.com/privacy-policy

Umami

When it applies: Privacy-focused analytics I recommend for most projects.

Who I Share Data With

I don’t sell your information. I only share data with: the third-party services listed above (as needed for your project), subcontractors working on your project (under confidentiality), and legal authorities if required by law.

Where Your Data Lives

I’m based in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.

Your Rights

Access: You can request a copy of the data I have about you.

Correction: Let me know if any information is inaccurate.

Deletion: You can request I delete your data, subject to legal and contractual obligations.

Portability: At project completion, you receive all deliverables and assets. I can provide project files in standard formats.

How Long I Keep Your Data

Project files: Retained for 2 years after project completion for reference and support. Financial records: Retained for 7 years as required by Canadian tax law. Contact information: Kept until you ask me to remove it.

Security

I use reasonable security measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections, secure password management, and limited access to sensitive data. No system is 100% secure, but I take this seriously.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy as my services or tools change. The latest version will always be available here.
