Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 23, 2026

County Cottage Builds ("we", "us", "our"), operated by Ontario Lead Networks Inc., is committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of visitors to countycottagebuilds.ca ("the Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information you choose to give us through the quote request form on this Site:

• Your name
• Your email address and, if you provide one, your phone number
• The town or area where your property is located
• The project type, timeframe and any details you write in the message field
• The date and time of your consent

We also collect limited technical information automatically — such as browser type, referring page and general location — through analytics, but only after you accept cookies on this Site.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used for one purpose: to introduce you to one vetted local builder who serves your area so that they can contact you and arrange a free, no-obligation quote. We also use it to respond to any question you send us directly, and to keep a record of your consent as PIPEDA requires.

3. Who We Share It With

One builder. That's it. When you submit the form, your details are shared with a single vetted general contractor matched to your area and project type. We do not share your information with any other contractor, we do not operate a bidding marketplace, and we do not sell, rent or trade your information to data brokers, advertisers or unrelated third parties.

Your information may be processed by the service providers that keep this Site running — our form-handling provider and our website host — strictly for the purpose of delivering your request to us.

4. How We Make Money

How we make money. County Cottage Builds is operated by Ontario Lead Networks Inc. ("OLN"), a paid lead-referral business. When you submit a project request, your contact details are shared with one matched local builder, and that builder pays OLN a referral fee for the introduction. You are not charged for this service, and the fee is not added to the price you are quoted. See OLN's full Privacy Policy at ontarioleadnetworks.ca/privacy.html for your full rights under PIPEDA, including how to request access, correction, or deletion of your information.

5. Consent

We collect express consent through a checkbox on the quote form before any information is shared with a builder. You may withdraw that consent at any time by emailing us at the address below; we will stop using your information and, where we are not required to keep it, delete it. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything already done while consent was in place.

6. Cookies and Analytics

This Site uses a cookie banner. Analytics cookies load only if you click "Accept". Declining does not limit any part of the Site. You can also clear or block cookies through your browser settings at any time. A separate cookie remembers your light or dark theme preference; it contains no personal information.

7. Retention

We keep quote requests only as long as needed to make the introduction, answer follow-up questions and meet our record-keeping obligations, after which they are deleted or anonymized.

8. Security

Information is transmitted over an encrypted connection and stored with reputable service providers. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information involved.

9. Your Rights

Under PIPEDA you may request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask that it be corrected, or ask that it be deleted. Write to us at the address below and we will respond within the time PIPEDA allows. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

10. Children

This Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of majority.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above always reflects the current version.
