1. Introduction
Buy With Shahi Inc., operating through its systems design practice known as ShahiBuy, is committed to protecting the privacy of every person who interacts with our website, our services, and our communications. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and safeguard it, and the choices available to you. We encourage you to read this document carefully so that you understand our practices in full. If anything here is unclear, our contact details appear at the end of this page and we welcome your questions at any time.
ShahiBuy provides computer systems design and related services to businesses in the professional, scientific, and technical services sector. In the course of delivering those services we may come into contact with information about you, your organization, and your end users. We treat that information with the same care we apply to our own systems, and we hold ourselves to standards that reflect both applicable privacy law and good professional practice.
2. Who We Are
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the data controller is Buy With Shahi Inc., a company based in Canada. Our registered address is 24-640 Rathburn Rd E, Mississauga - L4Z 1C6, Canada. Our website is located at https://www.shahibuy.lol and our primary contact email address is talk@shahibuy.lol. You may also reach us by telephone at +17794288794.
When we refer to the Company, we, us, or our throughout this document, we mean Buy With Shahi Inc. and the ShahiBuy practice it operates. When we refer to you or your, we mean the individual visiting our website or engaging with our services, whether as a prospective client, a current client, a partner, or a member of the public who reaches out to us for information.
3. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through our website, through email and telephone communications, and through any other interaction in which we act as the controller of personal information. It does not apply to the systems, applications, or platforms that we build on behalf of our clients, because in those situations we typically act as a service provider or processor following the instructions of the client that owns the system.
It also does not apply to third-party websites that may be linked from our pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit after leaving our own.
4. Information We Collect
We collect only the information we need to operate our business and deliver our services. The categories of information we may collect include the following:
- Contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, company name, and job title, which you provide when you contact us or submit a form.
- Business information, such as details about your organization, the project you describe, and your requirements, which you share so that we can understand and respond to your inquiry.
- Communications information, including the content of messages you send us and the records of our conversations, whether by email, telephone, or another channel.
- Technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and the pages you view, which is collected automatically when you browse our website.
- Account and preference information, where applicable, such as the settings you choose and the categories of communication you ask us to send.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal information, such as health records or government identifiers, unless you voluntarily provide them in the course of an inquiry. Where such information is provided, we treat it with heightened care and restrict its use to the purpose for which it was shared.
5. How We Collect Information
We collect information in three principal ways. First, we collect information you provide directly, for example when you fill out our contact form, send us an email, call our office, or meet with us to discuss a project. Second, we collect information automatically as you use our website, through cookies and similar technologies that record how our pages are accessed and used. Third, we may receive information from third parties, such as business directories, referral partners, or public sources, where that information is relevant to a legitimate business purpose.
In every case we aim to collect the minimum amount of information necessary to accomplish the task at hand, and we avoid gathering data that has no clear and current purpose.
When you visit our website, our servers may automatically record standard log information such as the date and time of your visit, the pages you viewed, the referring site, and technical details about your browser and device. We review this information in aggregate to understand general usage patterns and to keep the website secure and reliable.
7. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for a limited set of business purposes, all of which are designed to serve you and to operate our practice responsibly. These purposes include:
- Responding to your inquiries and providing the information you request.
- Preparing proposals, scopes of work, and estimates for prospective projects.
- Delivering, maintaining, and supporting the services we provide to our clients.
- Sending service-related communications, such as updates about an active engagement.
- Sending marketing or informational communications where you have asked for them, and honoring your choice to stop receiving them at any time.
- Improving our website, our services, and the overall experience we offer.
- Complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements.
We do not use your personal information for any purpose that is materially different from those described above without first providing notice and, where required, obtaining your consent.
We may also use information in an aggregated or de-identified form for purposes such as analyzing trends, measuring the performance of our website, and planning service improvements. Aggregated information cannot reasonably be used to identify you, and we treat it separately from personal information.
8. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we rely on one or more of the following grounds. We process information with your consent where you have provided it, for example when you subscribe to receive communications from us. We process information as necessary to perform a contract, such as when we deliver services under an agreement with you or your organization. We process information to pursue our legitimate business interests, such as improving our services and responding to inquiries, provided that those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. Finally, we process information where necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
If you are located in a jurisdiction that recognizes these or similar grounds, the applicable basis will be identified at the time we collect your information or upon request.
10. International Data Transfers
We are based in Canada, and the information we collect is generally stored and processed within Canada. In some cases, the service providers we use may process information in other countries. When we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to ensure that it receives an adequate level of protection consistent with this Privacy Policy and with applicable law.
Those steps may include the use of contractual safeguards, the selection of providers certified under recognized privacy frameworks, or reliance on an adequacy decision where one applies. If you have questions about the specific safeguards that apply to your information, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.
11. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The specific retention period depends on the nature of the information and the context in which it was provided. For example, correspondence related to a prospective project may be kept for a shorter period, while records related to an active or completed engagement may be retained for a longer period to satisfy contractual and legal obligations.
When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it through secure methods. If you would like to understand the retention period that applies to a particular category of your information, you may contact us and we will provide a clear answer.
12. Data Security
We take the security of your information seriously and maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect it from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These safeguards include access controls, encryption where appropriate, secure development practices, and regular review of our security posture.
No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we work continuously to apply practices that are reasonable and appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us promptly so that we can investigate and respond.
We also train our team members on their privacy and security obligations, and we limit internal access to personal information to those individuals who need it to perform their duties. We review our safeguards on an ongoing basis and update them as our services and the threat landscape evolve.
13. Privacy for Children
Our website and services are intended for businesses and adult professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we do not direct our services toward children. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate parental or guardian consent, we will take steps to delete that information as quickly as possible.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child under your care has provided personal information to us, please contact us using the details below so that we can review and remove the information where appropriate.
14. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal information. These rights may include the right to access the information we hold about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate information, the right to request deletion of your information, the right to object to or restrict certain processing, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
We will honor your rights to the extent required by applicable law. To exercise any of these rights, or to ask a question about them, please contact us at talk@shahibuy.lol or by mail at our registered address. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests, and we will respond within the timeframes required by law.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle a privacy concern, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your jurisdiction. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concern directly before you take that step, and we will respond to any complaint promptly and in good faith.
15. Managing Your Preferences
You are in control of how we communicate with you. If you no longer wish to receive marketing or informational communications from us, you may opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in those messages or by contacting us directly. Please note that even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send you messages that are necessary for the administration of an active service relationship.
You may also adjust your browser settings to manage cookies as described in the section above. If you have questions about any of these preferences or need assistance, we are happy to help.
