Introduction
UglyDot respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws. This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, stored, and protected when you interact with our website, communicate with us, or use our services. UglyDot operates as a trade name of CommerciaTrade Canada Corporation, a Canadian corporation governed by the laws of Ontario and Canada.
Governing Privacy Framework
This Privacy Policy is governed primarily by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, which regulates how private sector organizations in Canada collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities. Where relevant, UglyDot also acknowledges internationally recognized privacy principles reflected in the European Union General Data Protection Regulation and the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation. UglyDot does not represent itself as an entity established in the European Union or the United Kingdom.
Scope of Application
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through the UglyDot website, project inquiries, client communications, onboarding processes, service delivery, contracts, billing activities, and ongoing client relationship management. This Policy does not apply to third party websites or services that may be linked from our website.
Personal Information We Collect
UglyDot collects only the personal information that is reasonably necessary for identified and lawful business purposes. This may include names, contact information, business details, project related information voluntarily provided, billing and invoicing details, communications, and limited technical information such as IP addresses or browser data. UglyDot does not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
Purposes of Collection and Use
Personal information is collected and used for purposes including responding to inquiries, providing technology and consulting services, preparing and managing contracts, processing billing and payments, maintaining client relationships, communicating operational or service-related information, and meeting legal or regulatory obligations. Personal information is not used for purposes beyond those identified without appropriate consent.
Consent
By providing personal information to UglyDot, you consent to its collection, use, and disclosure in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Consent may be express or implied depending on the nature of the information and the circumstances under which it is collected. You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.
Disclosure of Personal Information
UglyDot does not sell personal information. Personal information may be disclosed to third parties only where necessary to support business operations, including service providers such as hosting, communications, payment processing, or professional advisors, or where disclosure is required by law or necessary to enforce legal or contractual rights. All third parties are required to protect personal information in a manner consistent with this Policy and applicable law.
Cross Border Data Processing
Personal information may be stored, processed, or accessed outside of Canada, including in jurisdictions such as the United States, the European Union, or the United Kingdom, depending on the location of service providers. When personal information is transferred outside Canada, it remains subject to contractual safeguards and protections consistent with Canadian privacy law. Foreign jurisdictions may have different data protection laws and may permit access by local authorities.
Safeguards and Security
UglyDot implements reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information it holds. These safeguards are designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. While reasonable security measures are in place, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Retention of Personal Information
Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law, accounting standards, or regulatory obligations. When personal information is no longer required, it is securely destroyed or anonymized.
Access and Correction Rights
Individuals have the right to request access to their personal information and to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, subject to applicable legal limitations and identity verification requirements.
