Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 2026.

We are committed to protecting the personal information of our visitors and clients in accordance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and, where applicable, comparable provincial privacy laws.

Who to contact

Over The Bridge Accountant is accountable for our compliance with this policy. You can reach us through the contact form on this website with any privacy questions, access requests, or complaints.

What information we collect

  • Information you send us. When you contact us through our form or by email, we receive your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use it only to respond to your inquiry and to provide the professional services you engage us for. Please do not include sensitive personal, financial, or tax details in a first message; we will collect what is needed through secure channels once engaged.
  • Website analytics. With your consent, we use Google Analytics to collect anonymized statistics about visits (pages viewed, approximate region, device type, referring site). We use this only to understand how the site is used and to improve it. We do not use analytics data for advertising or behavioural profiling.
  • What we do not collect. This site has no registration, no contact-form database, and no mailing list. We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal information.

Cookies and your consent

On your first visit we ask whether you allow analytics cookies. Analytics stay off unless you accept. If you accept, you can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site and choosing again. If you decline, we keep only your choice on your own device (in browser local storage) so we do not ask again on every page.

If you accept, data is collected by Google Analytics and may be processed by Google in the United States and other countries. Google’s handling of this data is described in Google’s privacy policy. We have configured analytics to minimize what is collected (IP anonymization features where available) and we do not enable advertising features.

Retention

Inquiry emails are kept only as long as needed to respond, or as long as required under professional standards and record-keeping rules if you become a client. Analytics data is retained per the Google Analytics account configuration.

Access, correction, and questions

You may ask what personal information we hold about you, request a correction, or raise a concern through the contact form on this website. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page and note the change date here. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
