Privacy
Last updated November 11, 2026. Plain language, no tricks.
xou.ca is run by Arad Soft, a Canadian software company ("we"). This page explains what we collect and why, under Canada's privacy law (PIPEDA) and anti-spam law (CASL).
What we collect
- What you type in the box (a short description of your business). It is read by software on our own server to suggest an industry and city. It is not sent to any outside AI service.
- If you reserve a quote: your email address, the plan and add-ons you chose, the description you typed, the time, and your IP address (kept with your consent record).
- If you use the contact form: your name, email and message.
- Server logs: basic technical logs (time, page, error) kept for security and to keep the service running.
What we do not do
- No advertising or tracking cookies. We do not use analytics that follow you around the web.
- We do not sell your information.
Why we use it
To send you the quote you asked for, to contact you about it, to answer your message, and to protect the site from abuse. When you tick the consent box you agree that we may email you the quote and contact you about it. You can withdraw consent at any time by writing to us.
Who sees it
Our team, and the servers we run to operate the site. Email is sent through our own mail server. We share information with others only if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Quote requests that never become a project are deleted after 18 months. Projects are kept as long as needed for the work, support and our legal and tax duties. Security logs are kept for a short time.
Your choices
You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, or withdraw your consent, by emailing [email protected]. We reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
