- Payment processors such as Stripe to process transactions securely.

4. Cookies and Analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-0TJDCRYHPG) and Google Tag Manager (container GTM-WTV9QKVF) to understand site usage. Please review our Cookie Policy for details and opt-out instructions.
5. Email Communications and CASL Consent
Where required by CASL, we send commercial electronic messages only with your express or implied consent. Every marketing email includes a clear unsubscribe link and our identifying information. You can withdraw consent at any time by clicking unsubscribe or emailing info@firstnationalfire.com. Service-related messages (appointment confirmations, certificates, invoices) may continue as part of providing the services you requested.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to satisfy legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory obligations (typically 7 years for financial records), or to resolve disputes and enforce agreements. Inspection records may be retained longer where required by the Ontario Fire Code or applicable standards.
7. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, withdraw consent for non-essential uses, and request information about how your data has been handled. To exercise these rights, contact our Privacy Officer at info@firstnationalfire.com.
8. Security
We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards including encryption in transit (TLS), encrypted storage, role-based access control, and audit logging. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work continuously to protect your information.
9. Children's Privacy
Our services are directed at commercial property owners, managers, and other businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of majority. If you believe a minor has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers (including Stripe and Lovable Cloud / Supabase) are located in the United States. Your information may be stored or processed outside of Canada and may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions, including lawful access by foreign authorities. We require these providers to maintain protections comparable to those required under PIPEDA.
