Version 1.0 · Effective October 28, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Codara Inc. ("Codara", "we") handles personal information in connection with the Codara website at codara.ca and the Codara calculators, tools and services (the "Services").
It describes how Codara works today, and how it will handle information when accounts and paid plans become available. Where a feature is not yet available, this policy says so. We will update this policy before those features are introduced.
Codara Inc. operates Codara and is responsible for the personal information under its control. Questions about this policy or about your personal information can be sent to hello@codara.ca.
You can use the Codara calculators without an account. The calculators run in your web browser. The information you enter into them is not sent to Codara.
Accounts are not yet available. Projects you create in the Codara workspace are saved in your own web browser, on your device. They are not sent to Codara or stored by Codara. They remain until you delete them or clear your browser's stored data, and they are not available on another device or browser. Codara cannot see or recover them.
Reports and printouts are produced by your browser's print function. Codara does not receive a copy of what you print or save as a PDF.
If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the content of your message. We use this information to respond to you.
Like any website, Codara's hosting provider processes technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages requested, and the date and time of each request. This information is used to deliver the website, keep it secure and diagnose problems.
We use personal information to:
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use project information for advertising.
We use service providers to operate Codara. Today these are our website hosting provider, Vercel Inc., and our email service provider. They process information on our behalf to provide their services to us.
We may also disclose personal information where required by law, where necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Codara, its users or others, or in connection with a legitimate business reorganization or transfer.
Codara's service providers may process information outside Canada, including in the United States. Information processed in another country is subject to the laws of that country, and may be accessible to its courts, law enforcement and national security authorities.
Accounts, cloud project storage and paid subscriptions are not yet available. When they are introduced, Codara will handle information as described below, and we will update this policy with any further details before launch of those features.
Codara plans to store account and project data with Supabase, with its primary database in Supabase's Canada Central region. Some operational information, for example information used to send account emails, process payments, provide support or monitor security, may be handled by service providers outside Canada. We will identify those providers in this policy before accounts are introduced.
You will be able to ask us to delete your account and its associated personal project information by contacting us at hello@codara.ca. We will verify your identity before deleting anything. Our target will be to complete the deletion from our active systems within 30 days of your verified request.
We may keep information that we are required or permitted to keep for legal, billing, security or other disclosed purposes. Copies held in backups will expire on the backup schedule, and deleted information will not be restored from backups into active use.
You will continue to be able to print your reports and save them as PDF files. Codara does not currently offer an export of project data in other formats.
We keep email correspondence for as long as needed to respond to you and to keep reasonable business records. Our hosting provider keeps technical logs according to its own retention practices. Projects and preferences stored in your browser remain under your control and can be removed by clearing your browser's stored data.
We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including encrypted connections to the Codara website. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Subject to applicable law, you may ask to access the personal information Codara holds about you, ask us to correct it, withdraw your consent to its use, or ask us to delete it. Withdrawing consent may limit what we can provide to you.
To make a request, email hello@codara.ca. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.
If you have a concern about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. You may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Codara is intended for building professionals and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this policy as Codara changes or as the law requires. The updated policy will show its effective date. Where a change is material, we will provide notice as required by applicable law.
