Privacy policy
Who we are
Kemeia is operated by 2834467 Alberta Incorporated, 246 Stewart Green SW, Unit 2226, Calgary, Alberta T3H 3C8. Our Privacy Officer is responsible for this policy and for your personal information: troy@kemeia.ca.
What we collect
- Application form: first and last name, email address, phone number, province or territory, city, profession, optional social profile links, and your answer to why you would be a good fit.
- How you found us: the answer you choose in the form, plus the page you landed on, the site that referred you and any campaign tags in the address (for example a job-board link). This is stored with your application so we know which channels bring partners to Kemeia.
- Marketing consent: whether you ticked the box for partner updates, the wording you saw, when you ticked it and on which page.
- Abuse prevention: a salted, one-way hash of your IP address, kept with the application to limit repeated submissions. We do not store the address itself.
- Analytics, only if you accept cookies: Google Analytics 4 page views and events such as opening a question or using the calculator. Advertising features are switched off.
- Performance: Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, which run without cookies and do not identify you.
Why we collect it
To review your application and contact you about it, to arrange an introductory call, to prepare a partner agreement if we both want to proceed, to keep the form from being abused, and to understand which pages and channels bring us partners. We send partner updates by email or text only if you tick the box asking for them.
Consent and contact
Sending an application means you agree that Kemeia may contact you about it by email or phone. Ongoing updates need the separate, unticked box on the form. Every update we send identifies Kemeia, carries our mailing address and has a working unsubscribe link or reply instruction. You can withdraw either consent at any time by writing to the Privacy Officer.
Service providers and where your information is stored
We use service providers that may store or process your information outside Canada, including in the United States, where it is subject to the laws of that country. Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act asks us to tell you this when we collect your details.
| Provider | What it does | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel | Hosts the website and the application form's server code; cookieless performance analytics | United States |
| Supabase | Stores application records | United States (US East) |
| Resend | Emails each application to our team inbox | United States |
| Upstash | Counts submissions per hashed IP address to limit abuse | United States |
| Google (Analytics 4) | Website analytics, only after you accept cookies | United States and other Google regions |
How long we keep it
Applications that do not lead to a partnership are deleted 6 months after we receive them. Records of partners are kept for the term of the partner agreement and for the period Canadian tax and commercial law requires afterwards. Analytics data is retained by Google for 14 months.
Cookies and browser storage
kemeia_consent: remembers your cookie choice for 12 months. Set only after you choose._gaand_ga_*: Google Analytics, set only after you accept. Rejecting later deletes them.- Session storage: the page you landed on and any campaign tags, so the form can record how you found us. Cleared when the tab closes.
- Local storage, only after you accept: the same first-visit record kept for 30 days so a later visit keeps its original source.
You can change your choice at any time with the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
