InnoVenTech Inc. respects the privacy of website visitors, prospective claimants, professional contacts, and the organizations with which we work. This Privacy Policy describes how personal information may be collected, used, protected, and disclosed when you interact with our public website or contact us.

1. Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the public InnoVenTech website, website inquiry forms, email communications, telephone communications, and related business-development interactions.

Access to proprietary services or controlled workspaces, including InnoLab and InnoExchange, may also be governed by separate service agreements, engagement terms, security requirements, or platform-specific notices provided to authorized users.

2. Information we may collect

Depending on how you interact with InnoVenTech, we may collect:

• your name, business email address, telephone number, job title, and organization
• information included in a meeting request, contact form, email, or other communication
• general information about your organization, fiscal year, innovation activities, or service interests
• technical and usage information such as browser type, device type, operating system, approximate geographic location, IP address, referring page, pages visited, visit duration, and general navigation activity
• interaction information collected through Microsoft Clarity, which may include page views, clicks, scrolling, mouse movements, navigation patterns, and related website usage information
• records of consent, communication preferences, and correspondence

3. How we use information

We may use personal information to:

• respond to questions and service inquiries
• arrange meetings, consultations, or claim reviews
• assess whether our SR&ED, CDAE, review, or audit-support services may be relevant
• communicate with existing and prospective business contacts
• provide and administer requested professional services
• operate, secure, maintain, and improve our website
• remember website preferences such as your selected language and other user experience settings
• understand website performance and general usage patterns
• use Microsoft Clarity analytics to understand the number and approximate geographic distribution of website visitors, identify commonly visited pages, and evaluate how visitors navigate and interact with the website
• meet legal, regulatory, contractual, security, and record-keeping obligations

4. Consent

Where required, InnoVenTech seeks consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information. The form of consent may vary according to the nature of the information and the reasonable expectations of the individual.

You may withdraw consent, subject to legal, contractual, and operational restrictions, by contacting us using the information provided below.

5. Sharing and disclosure

InnoVenTech does not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that support our technology, hosting, communications, security, analytics, professional services, or business operations.

We use Microsoft Clarity as a website analytics provider. When analytics consent is granted, information concerning website visits and interactions may be transmitted to and processed by Microsoft for the purpose of providing analytics, aggregated reporting, heatmaps, and session-level website usage insights to InnoVenTech.

We may also disclose information where required or permitted by law, to enforce agreements, to protect legal rights, or to investigate suspected fraud, security incidents, or misuse of our services.

6. Storage and safeguards

InnoVenTech applies administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity and context of the information. These measures may include access controls, secure document-exchange processes, controlled data handling, authentication requirements, restricted permissions, and records-management procedures.

No website, transmission method, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, meet professional and contractual requirements, resolve disputes, maintain appropriate business records, and satisfy applicable legal obligations.

8. Access and correction

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information held about you or ask that inaccurate information be corrected. We may need to verify your identity before responding to such a request.

9. External websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. InnoVenTech is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of websites operated by other organizations.

10. Privacy contact

Questions, concerns, access requests, or correction requests relating to this Privacy Policy may be directed to admin@innoventech.ca.

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the public InnoVenTech website. By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge these terms.

1. Informational purpose

Website content is provided for general informational purposes. It is intended to describe InnoVenTech, our professional capabilities, our methodology, and selected Canadian innovation-incentive topics.

2. No professional advice or engagement

Website content does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, engineering, financial, or other professional advice. Eligibility for SR&ED, CDAE, or another incentive program depends on the specific facts, records, activities, expenditures, fiscal period, and applicable rules.

Visiting the website, sending an inquiry, or requesting a meeting does not create a client, advisor, fiduciary, or professional-services relationship. Such a relationship is established only through an authorized written agreement.

3. Accuracy and availability

InnoVenTech seeks to provide useful and accurate information, but website content may not always be complete, current, or applicable to a specific circumstance. Programs, policies, administrative practices, and legislation may change.

We may update, remove, suspend, or modify website content or functionality without prior notice.

4. Permitted use

You may use this website for lawful informational and business purposes. You may not:

• use the website in a way that violates applicable law
• attempt to obtain unauthorized access to systems, accounts, data, or restricted areas
• interfere with website security, performance, or availability
• introduce malicious code, automated attacks, or harmful technologies
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation
• copy, scrape, reproduce, or commercially exploit website content except as permitted by law or written authorization

5. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise indicated, the website design, branding, text, graphics, illustrations, icons, software, methodology descriptions, platform names, and other original materials are owned by or licensed to InnoVenTech Inc.

InnoVenTech, InnoLab, InnoExchange, associated branding, and related identifiers may not be used in a manner that suggests authorization, endorsement, partnership, or affiliation without written permission.

6. Third-party content

Links or references to third-party organizations, programs, publications, services, or websites are provided for convenience. Their inclusion does not necessarily constitute endorsement, and InnoVenTech does not control their content or availability.

7. Disclaimer

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis without representations or warranties concerning completeness, uninterrupted availability, suitability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

8. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, InnoVenTech Inc. will not be responsible for losses arising solely from reliance on general website information, inability to access the website, third-party content, or unauthorized use of the website.

9. Governing law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws applicable in the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

This Cookie Policy explains how InnoVenTech uses essential website technologies and optional Microsoft Clarity analytics cookies when you visit the public InnoVenTech website.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small data files placed on a device when a website is visited. They may support core website functions, remember preferences, improve security, or provide general information about website performance and usage.

2. Categories of cookies

3. Microsoft Clarity

InnoVenTech uses Microsoft Clarity to obtain information about website traffic and general visitor interaction. Clarity may help us understand the number of visits, approximate geographic areas from which visitors access the website, commonly viewed pages, navigation paths, clicks, scrolling activity, and general website-use patterns.

Microsoft Clarity may use first-party and third-party cookies and assign pseudonymous identifiers to browsers or sessions. These identifiers help connect page views and produce aggregated analytics, heatmaps, and session-level interaction reports.

4. Cookies that may be used

5. Managing cookies

When you first visit the website, you may choose whether to allow Microsoft Clarity analytics cookies. You may accept or reject optional analytics cookies without affecting access to the public website.

You may also restrict, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential technologies may affect some website functions. Changing browser settings does not necessarily update a consent choice already stored by the website, so a cookie-preferences control may also be provided.

6. Third-party technologies

Microsoft Clarity is provided by Microsoft. Information collected through Clarity is processed in accordance with Microsoft's applicable privacy and service terms. InnoVenTech is responsible for determining when Clarity is enabled on this website and for communicating the visitor's analytics-consent choice to the service.

Future third-party analytics, advertising, embedded media, chat, or tracking services will not be added without reviewing and updating this Cookie Policy and, where appropriate, the website's consent controls.

7. Changes to this policy

This Cookie Policy may be revised when website technologies or legal requirements change. The date at the beginning of this page identifies the latest published version.

8. Cookie preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the website footer. Your updated preference will apply to future website visits and any optional analytics technologies used by InnoVenTech.

If you choose to withdraw your consent for analytics cookies, Microsoft Clarity will no longer be used for future visits after your preference has been updated. Essential cookies required for the operation, security, and functionality of the website will continue to be used.
