Your Privacy Matters
Privacy Policy
Effective Date: February 2026
At Purposeworks, privacy matters. We are committed to handling personal information in a way that is respectful, transparent, and responsible. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, store, and protect personal information through our website and related communications.
When we refer to “Purposeworks,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” we mean Purposeworks and, where applicable, our affiliated entities, representatives, contractors, and service providers.
Your Use of Our Website
You can generally visit the Purposeworks website without identifying yourself. Like most websites, however, we may automatically collect certain technical and usage information to help us understand how the site is being used and how it can perform better. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring website, pages visited, files downloaded, and the date and time of your visit.
We use this information to support website functionality, improve performance, monitor security, understand visitor behaviour, and improve the overall user experience.
Information You Choose to Share
There are times when you may choose to provide us with personal information directly. This may happen when you complete a contact form, sign up for updates, request information, book a meeting, submit an intake form, or otherwise get in touch with us through the website.
The information you provide may include your name, email address, phone number, organization name, job title, mailing address, and any other details you choose to share with us.
Providing personal information through the website is always your choice. In some cases, if you choose not to provide certain information, we may not be able to respond to your request or provide a particular service or feature.
How We Use Personal Information
We collect and use personal information to respond to your inquiries, provide requested information or materials, communicate with you about our services and offerings, support website operations, improve user experience, maintain appropriate business records, and meet legal or regulatory obligations.
Where you have agreed to receive communications from us, we may also use your information to share updates, insights, or other relevant information about Purposeworks.
Consent
Where required by law, we collect, use, and disclose personal information with your knowledge and consent. Depending on the circumstances, that consent may be express or implied.
By voluntarily submitting personal information through our website, you consent to our use of that information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or otherwise identified at the time of collection.
You may withdraw your consent, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. In some cases, withdrawing consent may affect our ability to respond to your request or provide certain services or information.
Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and support analytics and performance monitoring.
These technologies help us make the website more useful and effective. You can usually manage cookie settings through your browser. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how the website functions.
How Information May Be Shared
Purposeworks does not sell personal information.
We may share personal information only where reasonably necessary to operate our website and business. This may include sharing information with trusted service providers who support our website hosting, analytics, scheduling, communications, storage, or security.
We may also disclose personal information where required or permitted by law, where needed to establish or protect legal rights, or as part of a business transaction or organizational change where appropriate protections are in place.
Email and Communications
If you subscribe to updates or otherwise agree to receive communications from us, we may send you emails or other electronic messages related to your inquiry, our services, our work, or our updates.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe function included in the message, where available, or by contacting us directly.
Storage and Cross-Border Processing
Personal information collected through our website may be stored or processed in Canada or in other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. As a result, your information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions and may be accessible to courts, law enforcement, or regulatory authorities in those locations.
Where we work with third-party providers, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is handled appropriately and protected through suitable safeguards.
Safeguards
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, modification, or destruction.
While we take privacy and security seriously, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can ever be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purposes for which it was collected, to meet legal or operational requirements, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
When the information is no longer needed, we will securely delete, destroy, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in an appropriate manner.
Access, Corrections, and Questions
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and ask that inaccurate or incomplete information be corrected. You may also contact us to ask questions about how your personal information is handled, to withdraw consent where applicable, or to raise a privacy concern.
We encourage individuals to let us know when their information changes so that our records can remain accurate.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may include links to third-party websites, tools, platforms, or services. Once you leave the Purposeworks website, we are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of those third parties.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website or service before providing personal information or using their services.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, technologies, or website operations. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
Your continued use of the website after changes are posted will signify your acceptance of the updated policy.
