PRIVACY
WITHOUT THE FOG.

When you submit a project inquiry, we collect the information you choose to provide, including your name, business name, email address, selected service, and project message.

We may also receive information when you contact us by email, phone, Facebook, or Instagram. We do not collect payment information or create customer accounts through this website.

We use information to:

• Review and respond to inquiries.
• Prepare project recommendations, proposals, or requested services.
• Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.
• Understand which pages and services are useful to visitors.
• Meet legal, accounting, and business record requirements.

We do not sell or rent personal information. We do not use the website's Google Analytics setup to run paid advertising.

Google Analytics loads only after you select Allow analytics. It may use a first-party cookie with a random identifier and collect information such as browser and device details, approximate location, pages viewed, referrals, and interactions. Clicks & Clout does not send names, email addresses, or inquiry-message content to Google Analytics.

Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights help us understand aggregate traffic and website performance. Vercel states that Web Analytics uses anonymized data and does not use cookies to identify visitors across websites.

You may decline Google Analytics without affecting the website. To change a saved choice, clear the site data for clicksclout.com in your browser and revisit the website, or contact us for help.

We use trusted providers to operate the website and communications:

• Vercel for website hosting, delivery, analytics, and performance.
• Google Analytics for consent-based website measurement.
• Resend to securely deliver project inquiries from the website.
• Microsoft 365 to receive and manage business email.

These providers process information for the services they supply and under their own contractual and privacy obligations. Information may be processed or stored outside Canada, including in the United States, where different laws may apply.

We share information only with service providers that help operate the website or deliver requested services, when you direct or consent to the sharing, or when disclosure is reasonably required by law, court order, security, fraud prevention, or the protection of legal rights.

We retain inquiry and communication records only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, manage a potential or active client relationship, maintain appropriate business records, and meet legal obligations. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including HTTPS, access controls, protected service credentials, and reputable hosting and email providers. No online transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Subject to applicable law, you may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or withdraw consent for optional uses. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may be retained where legally required.

Canadian privacy principles, including PIPEDA where applicable, guide our approach to accountability, consent, limited collection, safeguards, openness, and individual access.

This website and our services are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this policy as our services, providers, or legal obligations change. The current version and its effective date will remain available on this page.
