Leander Property Appraisals ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services at leanderappraisals.com (the "Service").

By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We are committed to complying with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable Canadian privacy laws.

We use the information we collect to:

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We use third-party services (Supabase, Google) to operate our Service. These providers have access to your information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Secure authentication and access controls
• Regular security assessments and updates
• Row-level security policies in our database
• Limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Appraisal records and related information may be retained for extended periods to comply with professional standards, legal obligations, and for historical reference.

When we no longer need your personal information, we will securely delete or anonymize it, except where we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory purposes.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier.
