Privacy Policy
The following constitutes the complete privacy policy for Wexford Developments, prepared for direct implementation on the company's website. This document has been meticulously crafted to be in full compliance with Canada's privacy legislation, including the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and provincial laws like Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). This policy is not a mere recitation of legal clauses but a clear and transparent statement of our commitment to safeguarding your personal information.
Effective Date: January 1, 2025
1.1. Introduction
Wexford Developments is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information in the course of our commercial activities, including through our website, communications, and in-person interactions. We have adopted this policy to ensure our compliance with all applicable Canadian privacy laws, including PIPEDA and, where applicable, PIPA. We believe that a strong privacy framework is essential to maintaining your trust and is a core component of our business practices.
By accessing our website or engaging with us, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this policy.
1.2. Information We Collect
We limit the collection of your personal information to only what is necessary for our identified purposes, and we do so by fair and lawful means. The types of information we collect depend on the nature of your interaction with us:
- Personal and Contact Information: We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us, subscribe to our newsletter, request information about a project, or engage with us at a sales centre or event. This may include your full name, email address, phone number, and mailing address.
- Business Information: If you are contacting us for a business-related real estate inquiry or as a potential employee or contractor, we may collect information relevant to that purpose, such as your business name, organization, position, and qualifications.
- Financial Information: If you engage in financial transactions with us, we may collect payment and billing details to process your payment and fulfill our contractual obligations.
- Website Usage Data: We automatically collect certain non-personal information when you visit our website to enhance your user experience and for website analytics. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you visit, the duration of your visit, and referral sources. This data is collected using cookies and other similar tracking technologies, as further detailed in Section 1.8 of this policy.
- In-Person and Offline Data: We may collect personal information from you when you visit one of our properties or sales centres and provide your details through a physical form or verbally. This information is handled in the same manner as information collected online and is used to communicate with you about your registered interests and future projects.
1.3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for specific and legitimate purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate. We will not use or disclose your personal information for any additional purpose unless we have obtained your consent to do so. Our purposes for using your information include:
- Providing Services: To respond to your inquiries, provide the services you have requested, and maintain a business relationship with you.
- Communication: To communicate with you about your inquiries, transactions, promotions, or to send you information about our projects, including new developments or updates.

- Website Improvement: To analyze website performance, monitor user trends, and improve the content and design of our website to enhance your user experience.
- Legal and Regulatory Compliance: To detect, prevent, or investigate security breaches or fraud, and to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
1.4. When We Disclose Your Information
We may disclose your personal information to third parties only for the purposes for which it was collected or with your express consent, except as required or authorized by law. The circumstances under which we may disclose your information include:
- Service Providers: We may share your personal information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or providing services to you. These providers, such as website hosting and marketing partners, are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it solely for the purposes outlined in this policy.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our legal rights, property, and safety or that of others.
- Business Transactions: In the event of a proposed or actual purchase, sale, merger, or other acquisition of Wexford Developments or its assets, your personal information may be disclosed to the third party involved, provided they agree to use the information for the purposes outlined in this policy.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personally identifiable information to other parties for their independent use.
1.5. Data Security and Safeguards
We are committed to ensuring the security of your personal information. We employ industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, or destruction. Only authorized employees and service providers who have a legitimate business purpose for accessing the information are granted access. However, it is important to note that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
1.6. Data Retention
We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws. When your personal information is no longer needed, it will be securely and permanently deleted or anonymized in a manner that prevents its re-identification.
1.7. Your Privacy Rights
Under Canadian privacy laws, you have the right to access and control your personal information. Specifically, you have the right to:
- Access and Correction: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Withdraw Consent: You may withdraw your consent for certain data processing activities at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Withdrawing your consent may affect our ability to provide you with certain services or information.
