Privacy Policy
Effective date: March 23, 2026 — Last updated: May 2, 2026
1. Data Controller
Whitebox Geospatial Inc. ("we", "us", "our") is the data controller responsible for personal information collected through this website. We are incorporated in Ontario, Canada and based in Guelph, Ontario. You can reach us at support@whiteboxgeo.com.
2. What We Collect and Why
We collect personal information only when you voluntarily submit the inquiry form on this website. The information collected includes your name, email address, organization name (optional), product interest, and the message you write. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry, recommend appropriate products or licensing options, and follow up on requested support or sales questions.
We do not use tracking cookies, analytics services, or advertising networks. This website sets no cookies of any kind.
This website uses your browser's localStorage to record anonymous interaction events (e.g., button clicks) on your own device. This data is stored only locally in your browser and is never transmitted to us or any third party.
3. Lawful Basis for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, our lawful basis for processing your inquiry data is your explicit consent, given when you check the consent box and submit the inquiry form (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us at support@whiteboxgeo.com.
4. Third-Party Data Processor: FormSubmit
Inquiry form submissions are relayed to our email address (support@whiteboxgeo.com) using FormSubmit (formsubmit.co), a third-party form processing service. FormSubmit acts as a data processor on our behalf; it receives your submission in order to deliver it to us and does not use your data for any other purpose.
FormSubmit's infrastructure may be located outside Canada, including in the United States. By submitting the inquiry form, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. We have configured FormSubmit to relay submissions only and retain no persistent copy of your data on its servers beyond what is required for delivery.
5. Data Retention
We retain inquiry records in our email system for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and maintain business records, typically no longer than two years after the last contact. You may request earlier deletion at any time.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Rectification: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Erasure: request deletion of your personal information ("right to be forgotten").
- Restriction: request that we limit processing of your information in certain circumstances.
- Data portability: request your information in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Withdraw consent: withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
To exercise any of these rights, email support@whiteboxgeo.com. We will respond within 30 days. EEA/UK residents have the right to lodge a complaint with their national data protection supervisory authority.
7. PIPEDA (Canada)
As a Canadian company, we comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information we hold about you. Contact our privacy officer at support@whiteboxgeo.com.
8. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
