Privacy policy.

Effective Date: September 1, 2025

Last Updated: October 18, 2025

Hi there — thanks for stopping by! At Parfait Consulting, we take your privacy seriously (but we promise not to make this sound like a scary legal document).

We’re a small, independently owned IT consulting business in Canada. Our goal is to make technology fun, approachable, and effortless — and that includes how we handle your information.

1. What We Collect

We only collect the essentials — information that helps us do our job and work with you effectively. That includes:

  • Basic contact information: your name, email, phone number, and business name.

  • Project and business details: so we can understand your systems, challenges, budgets, and goals.

  • Billing and payment info: processed securely through Stripe.

We don’t collect unnecessary personal data, track you around the internet, or sell your info to anyone. Ever.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Communicate with you about projects and ongoing services.

  • Track work and time using Harvest.

  • Create invoices and process payments through Stripe.

  • Maintain accurate records for business and tax compliance.

We may also use project information to provide or improve services such as:

  • IT strategy and roadmapping

  • Technology audits and assessments

  • Governance, risk, and compliance

  • AI and automation consulting

  • Virtual CIO/CTO/CISO services

  • IT support and troubleshooting

We also use Stripe’s customer portal, which lets you view invoices, manage your saved payment methods, and update your billing information.

3. Who Can See Your Data

We keep your information private and only share it with:

  • Stripe, for secure payment processing.

  • Harvest, for project and time tracking.

Both of these services comply with industry-standard security and privacy requirements, including strong encryption and data protection practices.

We never sell or trade your data — not now, not ever.

4. How We Protect It

We use secure connections (HTTPS), strong passwords, and reputable cloud tools. We regularly review security settings and keep software up to date.

5. Your Rights

Because we operate in Canada, your personal information is protected by PIPEDA (the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act).

That means you have the right to:

  • Ask for a copy of the information we have about you.

  • Request corrections if something’s inaccurate.

  • Ask us to delete your data when it’s no longer needed.

To make any of these requests, just email us at privacy@meetparfait.com

6. Changes to This Policy

We’ll update this policy occasionally if our practices change (for example, if we add new tools or services).

If that happens, we’ll update the date at the top of this page and post a notice on our website.
