3. Text messaging (SMS) consent and terms

When you call us and we cannot answer, we may reply by text message about your call.

On our website forms, you can choose to receive text messages by checking the SMS consent box. The box is optional and never pre-checked. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help or STOP to opt out.

Our text messages relate to your own inquiry. We do not send promotional or marketing texts without your separate written consent.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Your text messaging opt-in and consent data will not be shared with any third parties or affiliates.

We use trusted service providers to run our business. They process your information only to provide services to us, and they may not use it for their own marketing:

We may disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

5. Data retention

We keep your information only as long as we need it to provide services, meet legal and accounting obligations, and resolve disputes.

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We operate in Alberta, Canada, and handle personal information in line with Canadian privacy law, including PIPEDA and Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). We honour the consent and unsubscribe rules under Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
