Get a Free Painting Quote

Free and no obligation, anywhere in Calgary

Last updated: 8 November 2026. This policy describes the current behaviour of calgarypaintingquotes.com.

Who this is about

Calgary Painting Quotes operates this website and is responsible for information submitted through it. It is a painting quote-request and referral service for homeowners in Calgary, Alberta. We do not perform painting work ourselves.

What we collect

The only information this site collects directly from you is what you type into the quote form and choose to submit:

  • Your name.
  • Your phone number, your email address, or both. At least one is required.
  • The community or postal code you enter for the property.
  • Project details you select: property type, interior or exterior, areas to paint, approximate size, current condition and timeframe.
  • Your preferred contact method.
  • Any description of the project you choose to write.
  • Your consent to review and potentially refer the request, required before submission.

Along with the submission, we record technical context: the page you submitted from, the page you first landed on, the referring website if any, any campaign parameters present in the link you followed, your browser user agent, and a one-way salted hash of your IP address. The raw IP address is not stored in the leads table. A salted hash may help us recognize repeated requests, but it is not an anonymity guarantee.

We do not ask for and do not want financial information, government identifiers, or any sensitive personal information. Please do not include any of that in the message field.

Why we collect it

To review your request and, with your consent, potentially refer it manually to a suitable painter if available, and to keep a record of requests accepted by our delivery channels. The attribution fields tell us which pages and sources produce genuine requests, so we know what is worth keeping on this website.

Who receives it

When you submit the form with consent, our referral service reviews the request. If a suitable independent Calgary painting contractor is available, your project and contact details may be shared with that one contractor for assessment and quoting. The request is first received by our service for owner review, not automatically forwarded to a painter. We do not promise that a contractor will accept the project. If you hire a contractor, their handling of your information is also governed by their own privacy obligations.

What we do not do with it

  • We do not sell it.
  • We do not send it to multiple companies or auction it to the highest bidder.
  • We do not share it with anyone for their own marketing.
  • We do not add you to a marketing list because you requested a quote.

Where it is stored

Depending on which delivery channels are configured, an accepted request may be stored in a hosted database and/or sent to the referral service inbox for owner review. We may separately contact a suitable painter manually if one is available and you have consented. The website host, database provider and email provider may process information outside Canada. The form is disabled when no delivery channel is configured. If cross-border processing matters to you, ask us before submitting.

How long we keep it

Requests are kept while they are useful for quoting, any resulting work and accounting for referrals. You can ask us to delete yours at any time and we will, except where we need to keep a record for legal or accounting reasons. A copy already delivered to the contractor is held by them; we will pass your deletion request on.

Cookies and analytics

This site currently loads no analytics or advertising scripts, and sets no tracking cookies. If analytics is added later, this section will be updated to say what it is and what it collects.

The form uses your browser session storage to remember the page you arrived on and any campaign parameters, so that information can be attached to a submission you choose to send. It is first-party, it is cleared when you close the tab, and it is not shared with anyone.

Your rights

You can ask what we hold about you, ask for a copy, ask for a correction, or ask us to delete it. Under Canadian privacy law you may also raise a concern with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Contact

Use the form on the contact page for any privacy question or request, and say in the description box that it relates to privacy.

Changes

If what the site collects changes, this page changes with it. There is no version history published, so the page as you read it describes current behaviour.
