Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 29, 2026

Brede Logic ("we," "us," "our") is a sole proprietorship operated by Steve Elgersma, based in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

This policy explains what information we collect when you visit bredelogic.ca, why we collect it, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

1. Accountability

Steve Elgersma is the individual accountable for personal information handled by Brede Logic. Questions, access requests, and complaints can be directed to:

Steve Elgersma

2. What we collect and why

a) Information you provide through the contact form

When you submit the contact form on our website, you provide:

• Name
• Email address
• Message content

This information is used solely to read and respond to your enquiry. It is sent by email to [email protected] and is not shared with any third party. A copy is retained in our self-hosted email archive as part of our ordinary business correspondence records. You may request deletion at any time using the contact details above.

b) Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool that we host ourselves on infrastructure we control. Umami helps us understand which pages visitors find useful so we can improve the site.

Umami, in its default configuration as we run it, collects:

• The page you viewed and the page that referred you
• Your approximate country (derived from your IP address; the IP itself is not stored)
• Your browser type, operating system, device type, and screen size
• A daily-rotating anonymous hash used to estimate unique visitors

Umami does not use cookies, does not track you across sites, and does not send data to any third party. We do not use session recording or any form of individual user profiling.

c) Web server logs

Our web server keeps standard access logs (IP address, timestamp, URL requested, HTTP status, and user-agent string) for short-term security monitoring and troubleshooting. These logs are not used for marketing or analytics and are not shared.

3. Cookies

This website does not set cookies.

4. Where your information is processed

The website and analytics are hosted on infrastructure we operate in Canada. DNS and web traffic for bredelogic.ca are proxied through Cloudflare, a US-headquartered company with a global network, which means requests to our site (including the information described above) may transit servers located outside Canada, including in the United States. While in transit through Cloudflare, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdictions through which it passes.

Email sent to [email protected] is delivered through Google Workspace and may be stored on Google servers outside Canada, including in the United States.

5. Consent

By using our website you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. By submitting the contact form you consent to us using your name, email address, and message to respond to your enquiry.

You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.

6. Safeguards

We protect personal information with safeguards appropriate to its sensitivity, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all traffic to the website, access controls on the systems where information is stored, and limiting access to Steve Elgersma.

7. Your rights

Under PIPEDA you have the right to:

• Ask whether we hold personal information about you, and to see what we hold
• Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
• Ask us to delete information we hold about you, subject to legal or business-record retention requirements
• Withdraw your consent to our use of your information
• Make a complaint about how we have handled your information

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days, as required by PIPEDA.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Effective date" at the top of the page indicates when it was last revised. Material changes will be noted on this page.
