Privacy Policy Last Updated: May 31, 2022
Confra Complete Construction doing business as CONFRA COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION (“we,” or “us,” or “our”) cares about your privacy and recognizes the importance of protecting your Personal Information. This Privacy Policy describes the kind of information we may collect during your visit to our websites, use of our mobile applications, and during any other interactions you may have with us in connection with our business (collectively, the “Services”). The Privacy Policy also describes how we use, protect and disclose your information, and your options with respect to that information.
Personal Information
We collect, use and disclose various types of Personal Information. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information about an identifiable individual. It does not include de-identified or aggregate information or certain publicly available information.
Your Consent
BY PROVIDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO US, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AS SET OUT IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
We may use and disclose your Personal Information in accordance with the consents that you provide, whether explicit or implied, as well as may be set out in this Privacy Policy.
Form of Consent
When we collect, use or disclose your Personal Information, we will generally obtain your consent. Most of the time, we will obtain your consent before or at the same time we collect your Personal Information. In some instances, however, we may seek your consent after we have collected your Personal Information if we wish to make an additional use or disclosure of your Personal Information where we do not already have your consent for that new use or disclosure.
Depending on the circumstances, your consent may be express or implied. Express consent would arise if you specifically consented to a particular dealing in your Personal Information. Express consent can be given orally, electronically or in writing.
Implied consent can be inferred from the circumstances and, in particular, where the uses and disclosures are readily apparent at the time we collect the Personal Information. For example, if you send us an email requesting certain information, we will use the email address in your email to send you the requested information without asking you if we can use the email address for that purpose, your consent will be implied in those circumstances. As well, we will assume your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information for a particular purpose if you voluntarily provide the information for that purpose.
This Privacy Policy also describes certain instances in which we may collect, use and disclose your Personal Information. By providing Personal Information in connection with the Services, we will assume that you have consented to the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information in accordance with the terms set out in this Privacy Policy unless you inform us otherwise. For greater certainty, if you do not consent to certain collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information, it may limit the manner in which you can make use of the Services and to otherwise interact with us.

This is often done without notice to or the consent of the affected individual.

Additional Information Regarding Our Collection, Use and Sharing of Personal Information
Privacy law permits or requires the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information without the knowledge or consent of the individual in certain circumstances. We reserve the right to collect, use and disclose your Personal Information in these circumstances without your knowledge or consent, including in one or more of the following circumstances: in order to comply with legal obligations: when we believe in good faith that an applicable law requires it; at the request of governmental authorities or other third parties conducting an investigation; to detect and protect against fraud, or any technical or security vulnerabilities; to respond to an emergency; or otherwise to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of our business, third parties, visitors to our websites and mobile apps, or the public.

Our Use of Cookies and Analytics
We may send text files (e.g., “cookies” or other cached files) or images to your web browser. Such text files and images are used for technical convenience to store information on your computer. For instance, we may use a cookie to store form information that you have entered so that you do not have to enter such information again.

Google Analytics uses cookies and other identifiers to collect information, such as how often users visit the website, what pages they visit, when they do so, and what other websites they visited prior to visiting our website. Google Analytics may collect your IP address, data related to the device/browser you are using, and other information about your use of our website.

Personal Information of Minors
Our products and services are not directed to minors under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect or sell the Personal Information of minors under 16.
How We Keep Your Personal Information Secure
We implement and maintain reasonable security appropriate to the nature of the Personal Information that we collect, use, retain, transfer or otherwise process. Our reasonable security program is implemented and maintained in accordance with applicable law and relevant standards. However, there is no perfect security, and reasonable security is a process that involves risk management rather than risk elimination. While we are committed to developing, implementing, maintaining, monitoring and updating a reasonable information security program, no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risk cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to vulnerabilities, criminal exploits or other factors that cannot reasonably be prevented. Accordingly, while our reasonable security program is designed to manage data security risks and thus help prevent data security incidents and breaches, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.
Personal Information of Others
You may not provide to us any Personal Information of others unless you have the consent of those individuals or you are otherwise permitted by law to provide us with their Personal Information.
Requests for Access to Personal Information
On your written request we will provide you with:
- access to your Personal Information (if any) under our custody or control;
- information about the purposes for which your Personal Information under our custody or control has been and is being used by us; and
- the names of persons to whom, and the circumstances in which, your Personal Information has been and is being disclosed by us.
All requests may be subject to reasonable fees and disbursements. Where appropriate to do so, we may require advance payment of a deposit or the entire costs of responding to a request for access to Personal Information.
Requests Must be in Writing
We require that all requests for access be in writing and be signed by the requestor. We required sufficient information and detail from the requestor in order to verify their identity, properly locate the information and respond to the request.
Limits on Individual Rights to Information
An individual’s ability to access his or her Personal Information under our control is not absolute. We reserve all rights to not disclose Personal Information, or its existence, in certain circumstances. For example, we may not disclose Personal Information where:
- the disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten the safety or physical or mental health of an individual;
- the disclosure would reveal Personal Information about another individual;
- the disclosure of the information would reveal confidential commercial information; or
- the Personal Information was collected by us for an investigation or legal proceeding.
Requests for Correction of Personal Information
On request by you, we will correct errors or omissions in your Personal Information where that information is in our custody or control. We require that all such requests be in writing and signed by you. We may require sufficient information and detail from the individual in question in order to verify their identity, properly locate the information and respond.
If you make such a request, we will either:
- correct the Personal Information and, if reasonable to do so, send correction notifications to any third party to whom we disclosed the incorrect information; or
- decide not to correct the Personal Information but we will retain a record that a correction was requested but not made.
Corrections or amendments will rarely, if ever, be made to opinions, including expert or professional opinions, as opposed to factual information, which may be corrected if in error.
Our Commitment to Honoring Your Rights
If you exercise any of your rights described in this Privacy Policy, we will continue to treat you fairly.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We will review and update this Privacy Policy as required to keep current with rules and regulations, new technologies and security standards and changes to our business and privacy practices. We will post the updated Privacy Policy to the website and we will update the Privacy Policy modification date set out at the top of the Privacy Policy.
