Privacy Policy

Introduction

VL Home Interiors (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is the personal portfolio website of Viktoria Yadvizhyna, Founder and Principal of VL Home Interiors in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and what choices you have when you visit vlhomeinteriors.ca or contact us. We follow Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

Information We Collect

• Information you give us: your name, email address, phone number and the details of your project or question, when you email, call or message us.
• Booking information: when you book a consultation through Calendly, Calendly collects the details you enter, such as your name, email address and the time you choose.
• Technical information: your IP address, browser type, device type and the pages you visit, which our website host records in standard server logs to keep the site secure and working.

This website has no contact forms, account sign-up, newsletter or online payments of its own, and it does not use analytics, tracking or advertising cookies.

How We Use Your Information

• To answer your questions, schedule consultations and discuss your project
• To keep the website secure and working
• To meet legal requirements

Consent

We collect, use and share your personal information with your consent, or as the law allows. You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us. Withdrawing consent may limit what we can do for you.

Cookies

This website uses only essential cookies, such as the cookie that remembers your cookie banner choice. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Third-Party Services

• Hostinger: website hosting
• Calendly: consultation booking. To open quickly, the booking calendar starts loading from Calendly as soon as you point at, tap or move keyboard focus to a “Book a consultation” button, even if you don’t click it. Calendly may set its own cookies at that point.
• Instagram: we link to our Instagram profile. Instagram loads only if you follow the link, and Meta’s privacy policy then applies.

These providers have their own privacy policies and may process information outside Canada, including in the United States and the European Union.

Marketing Emails

We do not send newsletters or marketing emails. If we email you, it is only to answer your enquiry.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the website, and when the law requires it.

Retention and Security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy or as the law requires. We use reasonable safeguards, such as encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your Rights

You may ask to see the personal information we hold about you, correct it, or ask us to delete it. We will respond within the time the law requires. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca (opens in a new tab).

Children

This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest version.
