4. Disclosure of Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes.
We may disclose information in limited circumstances:
- Service providers: We use Netlify, Inc. (a US-based web infrastructure provider) to process contact and quote form submissions. Netlify receives form data on our behalf as a data processor. Their privacy policy is available at netlify.com/privacy. No other third-party services process your form submissions.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or government authority, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Magna-Tek Solutions Inc. or others.
- Business transfers: In the event of a sale, merger, or transfer of all or part of our business, personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. For business inquiry records, this is typically three years from the date of last contact or the conclusion of the business relationship, after which information is securely deleted or anonymized.
If you wish to have your information removed at any time, please contact us using the details in Section 12.
