This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) governs the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of personal information by Kastle Rentals (“Kastle Rentals,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) in connection with our website, rental services, communications, and related business operations. This Policy applies to all users, clients, contractors, and visitors engaging with Kastle Rentals digitally or in person.
Kastle Rentals operates in the Province of Ontario, Canada, and aims to handle all personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), as well as any substantially similar provincial or federal privacy frameworks that may apply. Where services involve cross-border data handling, reasonable safeguards are applied to maintain consistent protection standards.
“Personal information” means any information about an identifiable individual, including but not limited to name, email address, telephone number, billing and delivery information, production details, identification documents, and any other data submitted through rental inquiries, contracts, or website forms. Technical identifiers such as IP address and device information may also be considered personal information where applicable.
We collect personal information directly from users when they request quotes, place rental orders, communicate with us, or use our website. We may also collect information automatically through cookies, analytics tools, and server logs. In some cases, we may obtain limited information from third-party service providers such as payment processors, logistics partners, or insurance providers where necessary to complete a rental transaction.
Personal information is collected and used solely for legitimate business purposes, including but not limited to: processing rental requests, verifying identity and eligibility, managing equipment logistics, coordinating delivery and pickup, processing payments, providing customer support, maintaining records, preventing fraud, and improving service performance. We may also use anonymized data for internal analytics and operational optimization.
We process personal information on the basis of contractual necessity (to fulfil rental agreements), legitimate business interests (such as fraud prevention and operational efficiency), legal obligations (including tax and accounting requirements), and, where applicable, user consent (such as marketing communications).
Kastle Rentals does not sell personal information. We may disclose limited personal information only where necessary to trusted third-party service providers engaged in the operation of our business, including payment processors, delivery services, equipment suppliers, insurance providers, and professional advisors. All such parties are required to maintain confidentiality and use information strictly for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
Payment information is processed through secure third-party payment gateways. Kastle Rentals does not store full credit card numbers or sensitive payment authentication data on its internal systems. Partial transaction records may be retained for accounting, dispute resolution, and compliance purposes.
Our website uses cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies to support essential website functionality, improve user experience, and analyze website traffic. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge and consent to the use of cookies. Users may disable cookies through browser settings; however, certain website features may not function as intended without them.
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, insurance, and operational requirements. Rental records and transaction data may be retained for extended periods in accordance with applicable Canadian business and tax laws.
Kastle Rentals implements reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse. While we take commercially reasonable precautions, no system of electronic transmission or storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Clients are responsible for ensuring that all personal and business information provided to Kastle Rentals is accurate, complete, and current. Clients are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials, communication channels, or authorization details used in connection with rental services.
Our website may contain links to external websites or integrate third-party services. Kastle Rentals is not responsible for the privacy practices, policies, or content of third-party platforms. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any external services they choose to engage with.
With explicit or implied consent, Kastle Rentals may send communications related to equipment updates, availability, promotions, and service announcements. Users may opt out of marketing communications at any time by following unsubscribe instructions or contacting us directly. Operational communications related to active rentals may still be sent as necessary.
Although Kastle Rentals operates primarily in Canada, certain service providers or infrastructure may process data outside of Canada. By using our services, users acknowledge and consent to such cross-border data processing, subject to reasonable contractual safeguards intended to maintain privacy protections.
In the event of a data breach involving personal information under our control, Kastle Rentals will take reasonable steps to contain and assess the incident and, where required by law, notify affected individuals and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable legal obligations.
Kastle Rentals’ services are intended for professional, commercial, and production-related use. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 16. If such information is identified, it will be promptly deleted from our systems.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kastle Rentals shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from unauthorized access, data loss, system failures, or third-party misuse of information. Users acknowledge that data transmission over the internet involves inherent risks beyond our reasonable control.
We may retain certain personal information beyond the termination of a rental relationship where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or maintain business records in accordance with applicable laws.
Kastle Rentals reserves the right to modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time. Updates become effective upon posting to the website. Continued use of our website or services after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy. For questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal information, users may contact Kastle Rentals through the contact details provided on our website.
