("Black Cedar", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information collected on or through our website at www.blackcedarhomes.com (the "Website"), in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) ("PIPEDA") and other applicable privacy laws. Please read this Privacy Policy in full before using the Website or submitting any personal information. By using the Website, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date above indicates when it was most recently revised. Material changes will be posted on this page, and your continued use of the Website following such posting constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information — such as your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, and home-purchase preferences — when you voluntarily submit it to us, for example through registration forms, inquiry forms, or email communications.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information you provide to: respond to and fulfill your specific requests; better understand your requirements; assist you in finding a suitable home; administer any transaction or agreement between you and Black Cedar; comply with legal and regulatory obligations; and, with your consent, send you communications about Black Cedar homes, products, services, and communities.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technology

The Website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information such as browser and operating system type, pages visited, and the number of visitors to the Website, in order to understand how visitors use the Website and to improve it. Cookies are downloaded by your internet browser the first time you visit the Website. On subsequent visits from the same device, the cookie and the information stored in it are sent back to the website that generated it (a first-party cookie) or to a different website to which it belongs (a third-party cookie). You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Website may not function properly as a result. By continuing to use the Website with cookies enabled, you consent to our use of cookies and tracking technology.

4. Marketing Communications

In compliance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), we will only send you commercial electronic messages where we have your consent or are otherwise permitted by law. You may opt out of receiving marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in our email communications or by contacting us using the information below. Please note that you may continue to receive transactional or account-related messages even after opting out of marketing communications.

5. Disclosure of Your Information

Your personal information may be shared with, or otherwise made available to, our affiliates and third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf — for example, providers who host or maintain the Website, deliver email communications, or provide analytics services. These service providers are permitted to use your personal information only as necessary to provide their services to us and are required to protect it. Some service providers may be located outside of Canada, in which case your personal information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions. We may also disclose personal information where required or permitted by law.

We do not sell your personal information.

6. Safeguards and Retention

We maintain reasonable physical, organizational, and technological safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or modification. We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law, after which it is securely destroyed or anonymized.

7. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent to our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information (subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice), and to request access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you.
