Frequently Asked Questions

What personal information does North Bay Painting Services collect?

We collect your name, address, phone number, email, project details, and any photos you share when you request a quote, call, text, email, or book an in-home consultation. We also automatically log basic technical information like IP address, browser type, and pages visited for security and aggregate analytics. We only collect what we need to quote your project, deliver the work, and run our painting business out of North Bay.

How long do you retain my personal information?

We keep customer information for as long as we have an active service relationship plus seven years afterward to meet Canadian tax and legal record-keeping rules. Inactive lead inquiries that never become customers are kept for 24 months unless you ask us to delete them sooner. After those windows we destroy or anonymize the records.

Does North Bay Painting Services share my information with third parties?

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information for marketing. We do share the minimum necessary data with trusted service providers that help us run the business, including Google Analytics, Netlify, GoHighLevel, Bunny CDN, and Google Workspace. Each of those providers has its own privacy practices, and we only pass along what each one needs to do its job.

Call us at (705) 482-1142 or use our contact form and tell us what you want. Under PIPEDA you have the right to access the personal information we hold, request corrections, withdraw marketing consent, or ask us to delete records (subject to the legal retention windows mentioned above). We will confirm your identity, then respond within 30 days.
