How Gogu Technologies Inc. collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information submitted through this website.
1. Scope of This Policy
Gogu Technologies Inc.("Gogu Technologies", "we", "us") is a technology consulting company located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through this website.
We handle personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation. This policy covers this website only. Information handled under a signed client engagement is governed by the terms of that agreement.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect personal information that you choose to submit. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not purchase personal information from third parties.
Consultation form. Full name, work email, phone number, company name, job title, industry, company size, service of interest, project stage, estimated timeline, budget range, and the descriptions you provide of your business challenge, desired outcome, and any additional details.
Careers form. Full name, email address, area of professional interest, LinkedIn or portfolio URL, and any background information you provide.
Technical information. Our hosting provider automatically logs standard request data such as IP address, browser type, requested page, and timestamp. These logs are generated for security, abuse prevention, and reliability purposes.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information (for example government identification numbers, financial account details, or health information) through the forms on this website. They are not intended to receive it.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you submit to:
- respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about it;
- assess whether and how our services may fit the initiative you described;
- prepare for and conduct requested consultations;
- evaluate career and talent-network submissions against current or future opportunities;
- maintain the security, integrity, and reliability of this website; and
- meet our legal and record-keeping obligations.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.
4. Consent
We collect personal information through this website only with your knowledge and consent. Submitting a form requires you to check a consent box confirming that we may contact you about your request.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at thavaganesh@gmail.com. Withdrawing consent may prevent us from responding to an open inquiry or considering you for opportunities. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand, and we may retain information where required by law.
5. Disclosure and Service Providers
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not disclose it for third-party advertising.
We use a small number of service providers to operate this website, and they may process personal information on our behalf solely to provide those services:
- Vercel Inc. — website hosting and content delivery.
- Google LLC — delivery and storage of the email messages generated by our website forms.
We may also disclose personal information where required by law, in response to a valid legal request, to establish or defend legal claims, or to investigate suspected fraud or abuse. If our business is involved in a reorganization, merger, or sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.
6. Storage Outside Canada
Our service providers may store and process information on servers located outside Canada, including in the United States. While information is held in another jurisdiction, it may be accessible to the courts, law enforcement, and national security authorities of that jurisdiction under its laws. By submitting information through this website, you acknowledge this cross-border transfer.
7. Cookies and Analytics
This website does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics services, and it does not respond to cross-site tracking.
Our hosting provider may set strictly necessary cookies required to serve and secure the site. If we introduce analytics or other non-essential technologies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, obtain consent beforehand.
8. Retention
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. Consultation inquiries are generally retained for up to twenty-four months from our last communication with you. Talent-network submissions are generally retained for up to twenty-four months, after which they are deleted unless you ask us to keep them on file. You may request earlier deletion at any time by contacting us at thavaganesh@gmail.com.
9. Safeguards
We maintain administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold. This website is served exclusively over encrypted HTTPS connections, form submissions are transmitted over encrypted channels, and access to submitted information is limited to personnel who need it to respond to your request. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may:
- request access to the personal information we hold about you and information about how it has been used and disclosed;
- request correction of information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
- request deletion of your information;
- withdraw your consent to our use of your information; and
- ask questions or make a complaint about our handling of your information.
Submit requests to thavaganesh@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting. We respond to access requests within thirty days where required by PIPEDA. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
11. Commercial Electronic Messages
Any commercial electronic messages we send comply with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). They identify Gogu Technologies Inc. as the sender, include our contact information, and provide a means to unsubscribe. We will act on an unsubscribe request within ten business days. Messages sent directly in reply to your own inquiry are not marketing messages.
12. Children's Privacy
This website is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of majority in their province of residence. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact thavaganesh@gmail.com and we will delete it.
