Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Triple AAA Cleaning Services (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information when you engage with our services — including through our website, booking forms, phone calls, and marketing communications.

We are committed to handling your personal information in accordance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation. By using our services, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

Our Privacy Principles

Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we identify the purposes for which it is being collected. We collect and use personal information solely to fulfill those purposes and other compatible purposes, unless we obtain your consent or are required by law. We retain personal information only as long as necessary, collect it by lawful and fair means, and protect it with reasonable security safeguards. Personal information is kept accurate, complete, and up-to-date to the extent necessary for its intended use, and we make our policies and practices readily available to customers.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information when you interact with Triple AAA Cleaning via booking forms, lead forms, phone calls, email, or other communication channels.

a. Personal Identification Information

• Full name — to identify you and personalize service.
• Email address — for booking confirmations, service updates, and (with consent) marketing communications.
• Phone number — for service communication, scheduling, and (with consent) promotional SMS messages.

b. Service-Related Information

• Type of cleaning service — residential, commercial, or specialty.
• Property details — address, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, access instructions, and other cleaning-related needs.
• Additional instructions or preferences — any information you share to personalize your cleaning experience (pets, parking, valuables, etc.).

c. Payment Information

We may collect payment details to process bookings. Triple AAA Cleaning does not store full credit card numbers or sensitive financial information directly. We use third-party payment processors (currently Stripe and similar PCI-DSS-compliant providers) that adhere to industry security standards.

d. Automatically Collected Information

When you interact with our website, we may collect information automatically through cookies, web beacons, server logs, and tracking pixels, including:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Device information
• Pages viewed and links clicked
• Date and time of visit
• Referring website

This data helps us analyze trends, improve user experience, and measure the performance of our marketing campaigns.

e. Phone Call Recordings

When you call us at (647) 555-2424, your call may be recorded by our telephony provider for quality assurance, training, dispute resolution, and compliance purposes. Recordings are stored securely with our provider and accessed only by authorized personnel. If you prefer not to be recorded, please let our representative know at the start of the call, or contact us by email or through our website form instead.

f. Photos and Visual Content

In some cases, our cleaning professionals may take before-and-after photos for quality assurance, training, or to document the condition of the property. These photos are used internally and are not shared publicly without your written consent. You may also voluntarily submit photos to us when reporting damage, requesting service adjustments, or providing testimonials.

g. Information Observed During Service

Because our work takes place inside your home, our cleaning professionals may incidentally observe personal items such as mail, documents, framed photos, or household belongings. Our team is trained to respect your privacy, not handle or read personal documents, and not disclose anything observed during service. We do not record, photograph, or collect this information except where directly relevant to a documented damage claim or safety incident.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may disclose your information when required to comply with applicable laws, court orders, subpoenas, or government requests, or when necessary to protect our legal rights, enforce our Terms of Service, or prevent fraud or harm.

d. Business Transfers

If Triple AAA Cleaning is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, franchise transfer, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to confidentiality obligations.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. These safeguards include encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), secure servers, access controls, and regular security reviews.

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

7. International Data Transfers

Your personal information may be stored or processed in Canada, the United States, or other countries where our service providers operate. When personal information is transferred outside of Canada, it may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions, including lawful access requests by foreign government authorities. We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information receives a comparable level of protection wherever it is processed.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyze traffic, and support marketing activities. These include:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the website and booking flow to function.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use our website (e.g., Google Analytics).
• Advertising and retargeting cookies/pixels — allow us to show relevant ads on third-party platforms (e.g., Meta Pixel for Facebook and Instagram).

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

10. Marketing Communications and CASL

We comply with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). We send commercial electronic messages (promotional emails and SMS) only with your express or implied consent. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you may opt out of SMS marketing at any time by replying STOP. Transactional messages necessary to deliver your booked service (booking confirmations, reminders, receipts, schedule changes) are not affected by marketing opt-outs.

11. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. The updated policy will be posted on our website with a revised “Last Updated” date. Material changes will be communicated by email where appropriate. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
