Privacy Policy

Tru Vue Window Cleaning Inc. (“Tru Vue”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and safeguard it, and the choices available to you.

This policy applies to our website, our quote and appointment request forms, our newsletter, telephone and email enquiries, and the window cleaning and exterior maintenance services we provide across Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area, Barrie, and surrounding regions.

We handle personal information in accordance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Ontario privacy legislation.

2. Information We Collect

1. Information You Provide Directly

  • Contact details — your name, email address, telephone number, and mailing or service address, submitted through our quote request form, appointment request form, contact form, by phone, or by email.
  • Property information — details you share so we can prepare an accurate estimate, such as property type, building height, number of floors, approximate window count, access conditions, and the condition of the glass, eavestroughs, or panels to be serviced.
  • Service history — records of past jobs, scheduling preferences, recurring maintenance arrangements, quotes issued, and notes relevant to servicing your property safely.
  • Newsletter subscription — the email address you enter when signing up for our mailing list.
  • Employment applications — if you apply to join our team, we collect your résumé and any information you choose to include in it, such as work history, certifications, training records, and references.
  • Correspondence — the content of messages, enquiries, feedback, and complaints you send to us.

2. Payment Information

Invoice and billing details are collected in order to process payment for services rendered. Where payment is processed by cheque, e-transfer, or through a third-party payment processor, we do not store complete credit card numbers on our systems. Payment card data is handled directly by our payment processor under its own security standards and privacy terms.

3. Information Collected Automatically

  • Technical data — IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, screen resolution, and referring website.
  • Usage data — pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and the general navigation path taken through our website.
  • Cookies and similar technologies — small data files stored on your device. See Section 7 below.

4. Job Site Photographs

We may take photographs or video of completed work for quality control, training, insurance documentation, and internal record-keeping. Where such images are used publicly — on our website, portfolio, or social media — we do not identify the property owner or disclose the exact address without permission. If you would prefer that no images of your property be used publicly, simply let us know and we will honour that request.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To prepare and deliver quotes and estimates
  • To schedule, plan, and carry out the services you have booked
  • To conduct safety and site assessments before high-rise, aerial lift, or rope access work
  • To communicate with you about appointments, weather-related rescheduling, access arrangements, and job completion
  • To invoice you and process payment
  • To respond to your enquiries, feedback, and service requests
  • To offer recurring maintenance scheduling where you have requested it
  • To send newsletters, seasonal reminders, and promotional offers where you have consented, and from which you may unsubscribe at any time
  • To review and process employment applications
  • To maintain business records, meet insurance requirements, and comply with legal and regulatory obligations
  • To improve our website, our service offering, and our customer experience
  • To detect, prevent, and address fraud, security issues, or technical problems

4. Consent

We collect, use, and disclose personal information with your knowledge and consent, except where otherwise permitted or required by law. By submitting a form on our website, requesting a quote, or booking a service, you consent to the collection and use of your information for the purposes described in this policy.

Consent to receive marketing email is separate from consent to receive service-related communication. You may withdraw marketing consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly. Withdrawing marketing consent does not affect operational messages relating to a booked or ongoing job.

You may withdraw your consent to our use of your personal information more broadly at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Please note that withdrawing consent may prevent us from providing certain services to you.

5. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Employees and crew — technicians assigned to your job receive the information necessary to complete the work safely, such as the service address, access instructions, and site notes.
  • Subcontractors and equipment partners — where specialised equipment such as boom lifts, scissor lifts, or spider lifts is arranged for your job, limited information may be shared with the supplier or operator in order to deliver the service.
  • Service providers — companies that support our operations, including web hosting, email delivery, scheduling software, accounting, and payment processing. These parties are permitted to use your information only to perform services on our behalf.
  • Property management and building owners — where a job is arranged through a property manager, condominium corporation, or building owner, relevant scheduling and completion information may be shared with them.
  • Insurers and legal advisors — in connection with a claim, dispute, or risk assessment.
  • Legal requirements — where required by law, court order, subpoena, or a lawful request by a government or regulatory authority.
  • Business transfer — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of our business, in which case personal information would be transferred as a business asset and remain subject to protections consistent with this policy.

6. Third-Party Services

Our website and operations may make use of third-party tools, which may collect information under their own privacy policies. These may include website analytics, mapping and directions services, email marketing platforms, form and spam-protection services, and social media platforms linked from our site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with.

7. Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. We use them to keep the site functioning correctly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our pages so we can improve them.

Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when a cookie is being set. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of our website, including forms.

8. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law, insurance, tax, and accounting obligations. Quotes that do not proceed to a booking are generally retained for a limited period in case you return to us. Job records, invoices, and safety documentation are retained for the periods required under applicable Canadian record-keeping requirements. When information is no longer needed, it is securely destroyed, erased, or anonymised.

9. Safeguards

We maintain physical, organisational, and technological safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold. These include restricted access to customer records, secure storage of paper and digital files, password protection, and encrypted connections on our website.

While we take security seriously, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we act promptly to investigate and address any suspected breach.

10. Your Rights

Subject to certain legal exceptions, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of information that is inaccurate or incomplete
  • Withdraw your consent to our use of your information
  • Unsubscribe from marketing communications
  • Request deletion of your information, where we are not required to retain it
  • Ask questions about how your information is handled, and make a complaint

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 14. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may ask you to verify your identity before we release information. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our services and website are directed at adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

12. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites and social media pages. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by Tru Vue Window Cleaning Inc.

13. Changes to This Policy
