Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information PermitX collects, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Maintain, secure, and improve the service.

Communicate with you about your account, updates, and support.

3. Sharing your information
We share information only in these situations:
-
With Quotograph. As PermitX is operated by Quotograph, your information may be shared within the Quotograph platform to deliver and support the service, in line with the Quotograph Privacy Policy.
-
With service providers. We work with trusted providers who help us run PermitX, such as hosting and infrastructure partners. They may access information only as needed to perform their work and are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.

For legal reasons. Where we are required to by law, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

4. Where your information is stored
Your information may be stored and processed by our providers, which may be located inside or outside Canada. Where information is handled outside Canada, it may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions. We take steps to make sure it is protected consistently with this policy.
5. Data security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your information and to respond promptly if an issue arises.
6. Data retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, and afterward for as long as required to meet legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take steps to delete or anonymize it.
7. Your rights
Under applicable Canadian privacy law, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct it, and to withdraw consent to certain uses, subject to legal and contractual limits. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the time required by law.
8. Cookies and similar technologies
PermitX may use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work properly if you disable them.
9. Children
PermitX is a business tool and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of majority in their province of residence.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use of PermitX after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
