Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 10, 2026

Future Architecture (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website futurearchitecture.ca (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We are based in Toronto, Canada, and handle personal information in accordance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable privacy laws.

  1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

Email address and name — when you subscribe to our newsletter or download a free resource.

Contact form submissions — name, email address, and the contents of your message.

Purchase information — if you buy one of our digital products, the transaction is processed by our e-commerce provider (such as Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy). We receive your name, email address, and order details, but we never see or store your full payment card information — payment processing is handled entirely by the payment provider.

    Information collected automatically:

    Analytics data — we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. This collects information such as pages visited, time on site, approximate geographic location (city/region level), device and browser type, and how you arrived at the Site. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you.
    Cookies and similar technologies — see Section 4 below.
    Server logs — our hosting provider automatically records standard technical data such as IP addresses, browser type, and access times for security and performance purposes.

    1. How We Use Your Information

    We use the information we collect to:

    Deliver the newsletter, free resources, or digital products you requested
    Respond to your inquiries,
    Understand which content is useful so we can improve the Site
    Process and fulfill purchases of our digital products,
    Maintain the security and performance of the Site,
    Comply with legal obligations.

    We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

    1. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Sites

    This Site contains affiliate links to third-party retailers and services, including the Amazon Associates Program (Amazon.com and Amazon.ca) and programs operated through affiliate networks. When you click an affiliate link:

    The destination site may place cookies on your device to track that your visit came from our Site, so a commission can be attributed if you make a purchase. Once you leave our Site, the privacy policy of the destination website applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. We do not receive personally identifying information about what you purchase through affiliate links — only anonymized or aggregated commission reports.

    For more information, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
