This policy explains what personal information Origin8 Communications ("Origin8", "we", "us") collects through theorigin8.net, how we use it, and the choices you have. We are based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and handle personal information in line with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
What we collect
We only collect personal information that you choose to give us. When you use the contact form to book a free consultation, we receive the details you enter:
- your name and email address
- your phone number, if you provide one
- the service you are interested in, if you select one
- the message you write to us
If you email us at info@theorigin8.net or message us on social media, we also receive whatever you send, along with your email address or profile name.
How we use it
We use this information to reply to your enquiry, to discuss and quote a project, and to manage our working relationship if you become a client. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for anything unrelated to your request.
How the contact form works
When you submit the form, your enquiry is sent as an email to our business inbox. The website itself does not keep a database of form submissions. Your message then lives in our business email, where we keep it for as long as we need it to respond and to manage the relationship, and we delete it when it is no longer needed.
Cookies and tracking
This website does not set cookies of its own and does not run advertising or analytics trackers. If that changes, we will update this page before it happens.
Third-party services
- Web hosting: the site is hosted by Hostinger, which processes technical data such as IP addresses in its server logs to deliver the site and keep it secure.
- Fonts: the site loads its typefaces from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google's font servers when a page loads.
- Social media: links to our Facebook and Instagram pages take you to those platforms, which have their own privacy policies and practices.
Sharing your information
We share personal information only with service providers that help us run the business, such as email and hosting providers, and only as needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information when the law requires it.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us at any time to see the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. You may also withdraw your consent to us using it, and we will stop unless we are legally required to keep it. Email us at the address below and we will respond as soon as we reasonably can.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us, including the use of HTTPS on this website. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive details such as payment card numbers or passwords through the contact form or by email.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.

Questions about this policy or your personal information can be sent to info@theorigin8.net, or through our contact page.
