Third Party Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including social media platforms, payment processors, or partner resources. These websites are governed by their own privacy policies, and Sunquell is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party websites.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit through links on our site.
Safeguards and Security
We take the security of your personal information seriously. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- Secure storage of client records and contact information
- Restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis
- Use of secure, encrypted communication channels where applicable
While we take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to responding promptly if a security incident occurs.
Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining warranty records, and meeting legal, accounting, or reporting obligations.
Client records related to completed installations are typically retained for a minimum of ten (10) years to support warranty claims. Quote requests and inquiries that did not result in a booking are retained for a shorter period, typically no more than two (2) years.
When personal information is no longer required, we securely destroy or anonymize it.
Access, Correction, and Accountability
You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete information, and to request the deletion of your information where no legal obligation to retain it exists.
To exercise these rights, please contact us at:
- Email: Contact Us
- Phone: 289-207-FILM (289-207-3456)
We will respond to access requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 30 days. In some circumstances, we may be unable to fulfill a deletion request if the information is required for warranty records or legal obligations.
Sunquell's privacy practices are overseen by its principals. If you have concerns about our privacy practices that have not been resolved to your satisfaction, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
