CircuitWare Inc. ("CircuitWare", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the personal information of our clients, prospects, website visitors, and partners. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and safeguard personal information in accordance with the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by CircuitWare in connection with our hardware, software, mobile applications, backend systems, websites, and client communications. It applies to information collected online and offline, unless a separate notice is provided at the time of collection.
For the purposes of this Policy, "personal information" means any information about an identifiable individual, as defined under PIPEDA.
We collect only the personal information necessary to deliver and improve our Services.
CircuitWare collects and uses personal information only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances, including:
We will not use your personal information for purposes other than those identified at the time of collection unless required or permitted by law, or you have given further consent.
By providing personal information to CircuitWare, you consent to its collection, use, and disclosure in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Consent may be express (for example, when you submit our contact form or subscribe to communications) or implied (for example, when you provide information voluntarily for an obvious purpose).
You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions, by contacting our Privacy Officer using the details below. Withdrawal of consent may affect our ability to provide certain Services. We will let you know the consequences before we act on your withdrawal.
We do not sell or rent personal information. CircuitWare may disclose personal information only in the following limited circumstances:
We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification, having regard to the sensitivity of the information.
Examples of safeguards include:
While we take precautions, no system can be guaranteed to be entirely free of risk. If a privacy breach poses a real risk of significant harm, we will notify affected individuals and the appropriate regulator(s) as required by law.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to meet legal, regulatory, accounting, or contractual requirements, or as otherwise permitted by law. When information is no longer required, it is securely deleted, destroyed, or anonymized.
Subject to limited exceptions under PIPEDA, you have the right to:

We may use third-party analytics tools (for example, Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights, and Google Analytics where deployed) to understand site traffic and usage. These providers may collect and process anonymized or pseudonymized information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
We do not currently use personal information for fully automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. If this changes, we will update this Policy and notify affected individuals.
Your personal information may be transferred to, processed in, or accessed from jurisdictions outside of Canada, including the United States, where our cloud and service providers may operate. In such cases, the information is subject to the laws of those jurisdictions and may be accessible to local courts, law enforcement, or regulators under lawful process.
CircuitWare ensures that all transfers are protected through contractual safeguards, organizational measures, and provider security controls consistent with PIPEDA's accountability principle.

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal changes, operational updates, or new Services. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Effective Date" and "Last Updated" date above and may post a notice on our website. Continued use of our Services after changes means you accept the revised Policy.
