1. Introduction & Scope

In Plain English

This policy outlines how Advanced Engineering Group Inc. (AEGI) handles the details you share on our website. As a professional, APEGA-registered firm, we handle your project specifications and contact info with strict confidence.

Advanced Engineering Group Inc. (referred to as "AEGI", "we", "us", or "our") is a professional engineering engineering consultancy firm registered in Alberta, Canada. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, process, retain, and protect personal and professional technical information submitted through our website (www.aegi.ca).

We operate in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) of Alberta, the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) of Canada, and the professional code of ethics established by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA).

2. Information We Collect

In Plain English

We collect the details you enter on our forms (like your name, phone number, and email address), the text descriptions of your engineering projects, and any files or drawings you upload to get a quote.

We collect personal and business information when you request a consultation, upload technical data, or apply for an engineering career.

A. Inquiry and Quote Forms

When submitting a quote request protocol, we collect:

  • Primary Contact Identity: First and Last Name.
  • Corporate Entity: Company or organization name (if applicable).
  • Direct Communication Details: Phone number and email address.
  • Project Variables: Capital budget estimation, engineering timeline, and structural scope requirements.

B. Careers Submissions

When applying for positions, we collect your name, phone number, email address, targeted job position or subject line, cover note queries, and any resume attachments sent to us.

3. Technical Documents & Blueprints

In Plain English

Any drawings, blueprints, or CAD files you upload are treated as highly confidential engineering intellectual property. They are only shared with our internal engineering team to calculate your quote.

Our quote system allows users to attach files including but not limited to CAD drawings, PDFs, images, and schematics (.pdf, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .dwg) up to 3 files.

Confidentiality Guarantee:

All technical drawings, property layouts, and blueprints are classified as proprietary information. We handle these assets with the highest level of corporate safety. Under no circumstances are technical files shared with third parties outside of our core engineering staff and project team without your explicit written approval.

4. Use of Collected Data

In Plain English

We use your data to answer your messages, compute project quotes, process applications, and review website traffic.

AEGI utilizes your information exclusively to perform standard business practices:

  • Preparing engineering estimations, proposals, and project scopes.
  • Reaching out to answer questions or review design constraints.
  • Reviewing candidate qualification documents for employment.
  • Fulfilling compliance requirements matching APEGA code protocols.

5. Cookies & Analytics Tracking

In Plain English

We use Google Analytics to learn how visitors use our site, helping us make it faster and easier to navigate. This collects general info, not personal identification.

We use Google Analytics (utilizing Google Tag scripts and Gtag integrations) to capture anonymous data about page visits, session length, geographic locations, and entry channels.

Google Analytics uses cookies—small text strings placed on your device—to compile this tracking information. You can configure your browser to decline cookies, or install the official Google Analytics Opt-out browser add-on to restrict tracking.

6. Third-Party Sharing Limits

In Plain English

We never sell or rent your information. We only share it with trusted services that host our site, send emails, or if Canadian law demands it.

AEGI maintains a strict policy: we do not sell, trade, or lease your personal information or blueprints.

Data is only shared under these limited scenarios:

  • Technology Partners: Trusted hosting and database providers (such as Vercel and Neon Serverless Database) that power our site infrastructure. These entities are bound by confidentiality terms.
  • Email Deliverability: Email routing systems (Nodemailer and SMTP relays) to deliver contact forms.
  • Legal Enforcement: When required by Canadian municipal, provincial, or federal legislation, or to comply with official professional directives issued by APEGA.

7. Security Standards

In Plain English

We secure all website data with HTTPS encryption and protect technical assets in secure corporate databases.

We use industry-standard security protocols to defend your data against unauthorized access, editing, or loss:

  • Encryption: All internet traffic transmitted to and from the website is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL/HTTPS) technology.
  • Storage Protection: Personal details and uploaded items are stored in secure environments with restricted access.
  • Internal Policies: Only authorized engineering and administration managers receive access permissions to client data.

8. Your Privacy Rights

In Plain English

Under Canadian law, you can ask us to see what info we have on you, change errors, or delete your contact details from our active lists.

Under Canadian privacy frameworks (Alberta PIPA & Canadian PIPEDA), you hold the following rights:
