Effective date: June 8, 2026 · Last updated: June 8, 2026

BYTEFORGE TECHNOLOGIES LTD. (“ByteForge”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit byteforgeco.com or engage our services. We comply with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

1. Who we are

2. Information we collect

We collect personal information only when it is reasonable for the purposes we describe in this policy.

2.1 Information you provide

• Contact details — name, email, company, and phone number you submit through our contact form or by email.
• Project information — descriptions of products, teams, or timelines you share with us when requesting a brief or proposal.
• Correspondence — records of communications you exchange with us.

2.2 Information collected automatically

• Technical data — IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and timestamps.
• Cookies and similar technologies — strictly necessary cookies to operate the site, and (if enabled) analytics cookies to understand aggregate usage.

3. How we use your information

We use personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected, including to:

• Respond to your enquiries and provide the services you request.
• Deliver, maintain, and improve our website and services.
• Communicate with you about projects, proposals, and updates you have requested.
• Comply with applicable laws and respond to lawful requests from authorities.
• Protect the rights, property, and safety of ByteForge, our clients, and others.

4. Legal basis and consent

Under PIPEDA and BC PIPA, we collect, use, and disclose personal information with your consent, except where otherwise permitted or required by law. By submitting personal information through our website or to our team, you consent to the practices described in this policy. You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions, by contacting us using the details in Section 1.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share personal information only in limited circumstances:

• Service providers — vendors that help us host the site, send email, or analyse usage, bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
• Legal obligations — where required by law, regulation, court order, or legal process in Canada or another applicable jurisdiction.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, with appropriate safeguards.

6. International transfers

Some of our service providers may store or process personal information outside of Canada, including in the United States. When this occurs, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where the service provider operates. We take reasonable steps to ensure your information receives a comparable level of protection.

7. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, or to resolve disputes. When no longer needed, we securely destroy or anonymise it.

8. Safeguards

We use physical, organisational, and technological safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including access controls, encryption in transit, and secure-development practices. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Withdraw consent to our collection, use, or disclosure of your information.
• Make a complaint to us, or to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia.

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@byteforgeco.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by law.
