Four Blocks South respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect personal information obtained through fourblockssouth.com and related communications.

• Details included in messages, forms or files you voluntarily provide

• Technical information such as your IP address, browser, device type, referring source, pages viewed and approximate location

• Information collected through cookies and similar technologies used by Wix and any analytics tools enabled on our website

Please avoid including unnecessary confidential or sensitive information in your initial inquiry.

 

2. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

We will not use information submitted through a project inquiry to send promotional emails unless you have separately consented to receive them.

 

3. Consent

By voluntarily submitting information through our website, you consent to its collection, use and disclosure for the purposes explained at the time of collection and in this Privacy Policy.

You may withdraw your consent, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawing consent may limit our ability to respond to an inquiry or provide certain services.

 

4. Sharing Personal Information

We may share personal information with:

• Four Blocks South employees and authorized team members who require it for their work

• Service providers supporting website hosting, form processing, email communications, analytics, security and business administration

• Professional advisers or public authorities when required or permitted by law

Our website and online forms are hosted and supported by Wix. Information submitted through the website may therefore be processed through Wix’s systems, including Wix Forms, Inbox and Automations. We do not sell or rent personal information.

 

5. Processing Outside Canada

Some service providers may process or store information outside Canada. When information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and accessible to its courts, law-enforcement agencies or other authorities.

 

6. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Enable essential website functions

• Maintain website security

• Understand website traffic and performance

• Remember visitor preferences

• Improve the visitor experience

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, the website’s cookie preferences. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functions. If advertising or additional tracking technologies are introduced in the future, this policy and our consent practices will be updated as appropriate.

 

7. Safeguarding Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure or alteration. No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

 

8. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, maintain appropriate business records and meet legal or regulatory obligations. When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, destroy or anonymize it.

 

9. Accessing or Correcting Your Information

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you or ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information. Certain legal exceptions may apply.

You may also contact us to:

• Ask how your personal information is being used

• Withdraw consent where applicable

• Request deletion of information that we are not legally required to retain

• Raise a question or complaint about our privacy practices

 

10. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to publications, professional associations, social media platforms and other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and Four Blocks South is not responsible for their content or handling of personal information.

 

11. Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the website.

 

12. Changes to This Policy
