Privacy policy

Last updated: November 3, 2026

SWAT Security ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We handle personal information in line with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

1. What we collect

We only collect information you choose to give us, plus a small amount of technical data your browser sends automatically.

• Quote and assessment requests: your name, company, email, phone number, site address or city, and the details you write about your site.
• Job applications: your name, contact details, licence information, work history and any résumé you attach.
• Newsletter sign-ups: your email address.
• Emails and calls: whatever you include when you contact us directly.
• Technical data: like any website, our hosting provider records basic request data (such as IP address, browser type and pages visited) to keep the site running and secure.

2. How we use it

• To reply to your request, prepare a quote and arrange a site assessment.
• To review job applications and contact candidates.
• To send our newsletter, if you subscribed. Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link.
• To keep the website secure and working properly.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.

3. Who we share it with

We share information only with service providers that help us run the website, and only as far as needed:

• Cloudflare, our website host, serves the site, keeps standard server logs, stores form submissions in a secure database and screens them for spam (Cloudflare Turnstile).
• Microsoft 365 delivers form submissions, including résumés, to our team's inbox.
• Google Ads measures whether our ads lead to enquiries and calls (see Cookies below).
• Google Maps shows our office location on the Contact page, only after you allow it (see Cookies below).

Some of these providers may store data outside Canada, including in the United States, where it may be subject to local laws. We may also disclose information when the law requires it.

4. Cookies

This website uses Google Ads conversion measurement, which can set cookies, to learn whether our ads lead to enquiries and calls. It may also show a Google forwarding phone number to people who arrive from an ad. You can control ad personalization in your Google ad settings. We save your cookie choice in your browser so we don't ask again. The Google map on the Contact page can also set cookies, and loads only if you choose Accept all or press Show map.

You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings(also in the footer), or by clearing your browser's site data.

5. How long we keep it

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, or as long as the law requires. Information that is no longer needed is securely deleted.

6. How we protect it

The website is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Access to the information you send us is limited to staff who need it to respond to you.

7. Your rights

You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or withdraw your consent and ask us to delete it. To do so, contact us using the details below. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
