This Privacy Policy describes how Pixelo (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at pixelo.ca. We commit to safeguarding your privacy in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) of Canada.
Who We Are
Pixelo is a data analytics and AI consulting service owned and operated by Meisam Abolhassani, based in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. We help small businesses and individuals make better decisions through data analytics, pattern detection, and AI-assisted solutions.
For any privacy-related questions, please contact us at [email protected].
Information We Collect
We collect two types of information:
Information you provide directly: When you contact us through our website forms, we collect the information you submit, which may include your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message. You provide this information voluntarily.
When you visit our website, our servers and analytics tools automatically collect certain technical information. The data set includes anonymized IP addresses, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring websites. This data does not personally identify you.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
To respond to your inquiries and provide the services you request.
To improve our website content, design, and user experience.
To understand how visitors interact with our site through aggregated, anonymized analytics.
To protect our website from unauthorized access, fraud, or abuse.
This step is necessary to comply with legal obligations under Canadian law.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We do not use your information for advertising or marketing purposes outside of our communications with you.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. For a detailed explanation of which cookies we use and why, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
Briefly, we use:
Essential cookies that are necessary for the website to function properly.
Privacy-friendly analytics through Burst Statistics, which does not use tracking cookies and does not share data with third parties. We do not use marketing cookies, advertising trackers, or cross-site tracking technologies.
Third-Party Services
Our website relies on a small number of trusted third-party services:
GoDaddy: Our website is hosted by GoDaddy, which processes server-level data such as access logs.
CloudFlare: We use CloudFlare for security and content delivery. CloudFlare may process limited technical data for security purposes.
WPForms: Contact form submissions are processed through WPForms and delivered to our email.
These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Our Services
Pixelo is an AI consulting and data analytics business. When you engage our services, we may process your data using third-party artificial intelligence platforms. We believe in full transparency about this practice.
We may use the following AI platforms, but we are not limited to them:
Anthropic (Claude)
OpenAI (ChatGPT and GPT models)
Google (Gemini)
Other AI service providers selected based on specific project requirements
Important distinctions:
Website visitors: If you only visit pixelo.ca, fill out our contact form, or browse our content, we do not process your data through AI platforms. AI processing only applies to clients who formally engage our services.
Service clients: When you hire Pixelo for data analytics, pattern detection, content generation, AI workshops, or related services, your data may be submitted to AI platforms as part of the analytical process.
How we protect your data when using AI:
Anonymization: We take reasonable steps to remove or redact personally identifiable information from data before submitting it to AI platforms, unless specifically required for the analysis.
Explicit consent: We obtain your consent before processing sensitive data through AI platforms. This consent is documented in our service proposal or agreement.
API access: Where possible, we use API access to AI platforms rather than consumer interfaces, as APIs generally offer stronger data protections and shorter retention periods.
Sensitive data handling: For highly sensitive information such as financial records, health information, identification numbers, or confidential business data, we discuss processing options with you in advance and may use methods that minimize third-party AI involvement.
Third-party privacy policies:
Data submitted to AI platforms is subject to the privacy policies of those platforms. We encourage you to review the relevant policies before sharing data:
Anthropic Privacy Policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
OpenAI Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/privacy
Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Your control:
You may request that your data be processed only through specific AI platforms or not at all. In such cases, we will discuss alternative analytical approaches with you. You may also request information about which AI platforms we used for your specific project at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
AI platforms retain data:
We do not control how third-party AI platforms retain or use submitted data beyond what is documented in their privacy policies. Most platforms offer options to opt out of data being used to train future models, and we apply these options where they are available.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:
This applies when required by Canadian law, a court order, or government regulation.
This is done to protect the rights, property, or safety of Pixelo, our users, or others.
We work with service providers who help us operate the website and who are bound by confidentiality obligations.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include SSL encryption, secure hosting, and regular software updates. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes for which we collected it or as required by Canadian law. Contact form submissions are kept for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and maintain a record of our communications. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymous form.
You may request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
Your Rights Under PIPEDA
Under Canadian privacy law, you are entitled to:
Access the personal information we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion of your personal information.
Withdraw your consent to our use of your information at any time.
File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days as required by PIPEDA.
International Users
We operate our website from Canada. If you access our site from outside Canada, please note that we may transfer, store, and process your information in Canada. By using our website, you consent to this transfer.
Children’s Privacy
We do not direct our services to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
