Privacy policy

Last updated November 7, 2026.

I handle personal information in line with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Who I am

McEwen Digital is a one-person business run by Darren McEwen in southern Ontario. I'm responsible for the personal information described here. Contact: mcewendigital@gmail.com.

What I collect

• What you type into the audit, consultation, ad creative or contact form: your name, business name, website, email, phone (optional), city and message.
• What you share when you email, call, book a call or meet with me.
• Basic technical information that web hosts record automatically, such as IP address and browser type, used to keep the site secure and working.

Why I collect it

Only to reply to your request, prepare your audit, consultation or proposal, provide services you hire me for, and keep records needed for invoicing and taxes. I don't sell, rent or trade your personal information, and I don't use it for unrelated marketing without your consent.

Consent

By sending a form or an email, you consent to me using your information for the purposes above. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing me, although I may need to keep some records for legal or tax reasons.

Service providers

I use trusted providers to run this site and my business: Netlify (website hosting and form handling) and Google (email, calendar booking and video calls). They may store information on servers outside Canada, including in the United States, where it may be subject to local laws.

Cookies and analytics

This site doesn't use advertising cookies or analytics. Its fonts and videos are served from this website itself, not from third-party services. If I add website analytics, I'll update this policy first.

How long I keep it

I keep enquiry information only as long as needed to respond and follow up. Form entries are removed from the website's form service once I've recorded your request, and emails from people who don't become clients are deleted within 12 months. Client records are kept as long as required for business and tax purposes. After that, I delete them securely.

How I protect it

I use reasonable safeguards, including secure accounts with two-step verification where available and limited access to your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your rights

You can ask to see the personal information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email mcewendigital@gmail.com and I'll respond within 30 days. If you're not satisfied with my response, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Changes

If this policy changes, I'll update it on this page with a new date.
