We use Google Ads to promote our services and may use features including Search Ads, Display Ads, YouTube Ads, and Performance Max campaigns, some of which incorporate lead forms. The following disclosures are required and important:

a) Remarketing and Data Segments

We use Google Ads remarketing features to show our ads to people who have previously visited our website. This means Google may display our ads to you on other websites across the internet based on your prior visit to redbarnrestorations.ca. We may also use “similar audiences” or “customer match” features to reach potential clients with relevant interests.

Our website uses first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and may work in conjunction with third-party cookies (such as Google advertising cookies) or other third-party identifiers to:

Measure and analyze website traffic and user behaviour
Enable Google Ads remarketing and audience features
Serve ads based on your past visits to our website
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other sites on the internet.

d) Lead Form Data Handling

Personal information submitted through Google Ads lead forms is used solely to respond to your inquiry about Red Barn Restorations’ services.

With trusted service providers (such as CRM software or email platforms) who assist us in operating our business, under strict confidentiality obligations

6. Data Retention
We retain personal information collected through our website and lead forms for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy — typically the duration of an active client relationship plus a reasonable period thereafter for legal and business record-keeping purposes (generally up to 7 years, in accordance with Canadian tax and business record requirements). You may request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us (see Section 9 below).

7. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), restricted access to stored personal data, and regular review of our security practices.
