This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information in compliance with applicable privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

1. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to all visitors, clients, and end-users who interact with our websites and hosted SaaS applications. Clients act as data controllers for any end-customer data submitted through our systems; Aareas operates as a data processor or service provider on their behalf.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal information:

  • Account and Contact Data: Name, email address, phone number, company name, and login credentials.
  • Transactional Data: Records of services requested, payment details (handled through PCI-compliant processors).
  • Usage Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, session timestamps, and interaction logs.
  • Client-Customer Data: Information provided by our clients such as home preferences, design selections, or appointment records.
  • Cookies and Analytics Data: As described in the Cookies and Similar Technologies section.

3. How We Collect Information

We collect personal information in the following ways:

  • Information you provide directly via forms, account creation, and transactions.
  • Automatically through cookies, analytics, and similar tracking technologies.
  • Information uploaded or managed by clients during the course of using Aareas SaaS platforms.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to enhance your experience, maintain session integrity, analyze usage patterns, and improve our products and marketing. Cookies are small text files stored on your device to remember preferences and recognize returning visitors.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Some features of our websites or platforms may not function properly if cookies are disabled. In the future, Aareas may implement a consent management tool to allow users to manage their cookie preferences directly.

We may use third-party analytics and advertising providers, such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel, to understand user behavior and optimize performance. These services may collect anonymized or aggregated information under their own privacy policies.

5. Use of Personal Information

We use personal information to:

  • Deliver and operate our SaaS and web services.
  • Process transactions and provide customer support.
  • Communicate with users about updates, support, and marketing.
  • Maintain platform security, prevent fraud, and ensure compliance.
  • Analyze performance and improve our products and user experience.
  • Comply with applicable legal or contractual obligations.

6. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

For individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process personal information under one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Performance of a contract (providing services to clients or end-users).
  • Legitimate interests (improving services, marketing, security).
  • Compliance with legal obligations.
  • Consent (when required, such as for marketing communications or cookies).

7. Sharing of Information

We may share personal information with:

  • Service providers and subprocessors that assist with hosting, analytics, marketing, or support, under confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal authorities when required by law or court order.
  • Parties involved in corporate transactions such as mergers or acquisitions.
  • Client organizations who act as data controllers when end-user data is processed on their behalf.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, or meet contractual requirements. Upon request or service termination, client data is securely deleted within 30–60 days in accordance with our data destruction procedures.

9. International Transfers

Personal data may be stored and processed in Canada and the United States, where our servers and service providers are located. For transfers to jurisdictions outside your own, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure compliance with GDPR and PIPEDA.

10. Data Security

We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect data, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest.
  • Role-based access control and authentication.
  • Regular system backups and disaster recovery protocols.
  • Routine vulnerability assessments and monitoring.

While we take these measures seriously, no system is completely secure, and data transmission is at your own risk.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under PIPEDA, GDPR, or similar laws, including:

  • Access to and copies of your personal data.
  • Correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion of personal data where permissible.
  • Objection to certain processing activities.
  • Withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@aareas.com. We may require identity verification before processing requests.

12. Children’s Privacy

Our websites and platforms are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect or process data from children. If you believe a minor has provided personal data to us, please contact us immediately to request deletion.

13. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, technology, or our operations. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of our websites or services constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
