How I handle your information.
Short version: I'm a one-person plumbing business. I only use what you send me to do the work you asked me to do.

Who this is
This site is owned and run by Clinton, operating as Fair Winds Plumbing out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. If you need to reach me about anything on this page, email clinton@fairwindsplumbing.ca or call 902-529-2115.
What the website collects
Not much. There's no account to sign up for and no tracking pixels. When you send a message through the contact form, it goes to a form-handling service that my web team (J&J Design) runs on Amazon Web Services in Canada, which passes it straight to my email. That service only handles the name, contact details, and message you type in, so I can reply. It isn't used for advertising. If you'd rather skip the form, just call or email me directly.
Fonts and other site assets are served from my own host, not from a third-party CDN. I don't use Google Analytics or any other analytics tool on this site, so there's no third-party tracker reading along.
My web host keeps routine server logs (IP address, time of request, page requested) for a short period to keep the site running and secure. I don't use those logs for marketing.
What I collect when you get in touch
When you email, call, or text, I end up with the things you'd expect: your name, contact info, address, and whatever you tell me about the job. If I come out for an estimate or do the work, I also keep normal business records: invoices, notes, photos of the work, and anything I need to warranty it later.
What I use it for
- Replying to you and booking the work.
- Quoting, ordering parts, and coordinating with suppliers or other trades if the job needs it.
- Invoicing, bookkeeping, and meeting tax obligations.
- Following up on warranty or service questions after a job is done.
Who I share it with
I don't sell your information. I don't share it for advertising. The only people who see it are:
- Suppliers or subtrades when a specific job genuinely needs them (for example, a tile setter on a renovation).
- My accountant and, if required, government tax authorities.
- Anyone I'm legally required to share it with.
How long I keep it
Job records and invoices are kept as long as Canadian tax and business-records law requires, generally around seven years. Casual emails that didn't lead to a job, I clean up when I notice them.
Your choices
You can ask me what I have on file for you, ask me to correct something, or ask me to delete what I'm not required to keep. Just email clinton@fairwindsplumbing.ca and I'll sort it out.
Changes
If anything on this page changes, I'll update the date at the top. No email blast. This is a plumbing site, not a newsletter.
