Privacy Policy

How CANCEA handles personal information when you use this public ONEMODEL™ website or contact us by email.

Effective September 24, 2026
Scope

This policy covers the public website.

This policy applies to www.onemodel.digital, the public informational website for ONEMODEL™. It does not govern authenticated ONEMODEL™ applications, client environments, model data, user accounts or other platform services, which may be subject to separate notices, agreements and organizational policies.

Information

What we handle.

Information you send us

The public website does not submit contact information through a web form. If you use a demo or contact email link, we receive the information you choose to include in your email, such as your name, email address, organisation and enquiry details.

Technical request information

Website hosting and network providers may process standard technical information required to deliver and secure the site, such as IP address, browser or device information, requested pages, timestamps and referring URLs.

Privacy-conscious traffic analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand aggregate website traffic, page usage, referring sources and basic device or browser information. We do not use analytics cookies, advertising pixels or behavioural advertising tools on this public website.

AI site assistant

If you use the optional ONEMODEL™ site assistant, your question and limited recent chat context are sent to OpenAI through its API together with retrieved public ONEMODEL™ source material so an answer can be generated. The website does not require you to provide personal information in the chat.

Website infrastructure

The public site is hosted using Microsoft Azure Static Web Apps, uses Cloudflare Web Analytics for aggregate traffic measurement, and uses the OpenAI API for the optional site assistant. Service providers may process technical request information under their own privacy and security practices.

Use

How information is used.

Information is used only for reasonable purposes connected with operating the website and responding to you.

  • Website operations. Deliver, secure, monitor, measure aggregate usage and troubleshoot the public website.
  • Site assistant. Retrieve relevant published ONEMODEL™ material and generate a response to questions you choose to submit.
  • Enquiries. Respond to demo requests or other messages you send us.
  • Business relationship. Scope or manage a potential or existing engagement when you ask us to do so.
  • Legal and security needs. Meet applicable legal, security and record-keeping obligations.

We do not sell personal information or disclose it to third parties for their own marketing.

Providers

Service providers and disclosure.

We use service providers for website hosting, network delivery, aggregate analytics, AI-assisted site questions and business communications. The site assistant uses the OpenAI API with response storage disabled by our application; OpenAI may still retain limited API content in abuse-monitoring logs under its applicable service controls. Information may also be disclosed where required by law, to protect legal rights or security, or in connection with a business transaction subject to appropriate safeguards. Some providers may process information outside Canada, where it may be subject to local law.

Retention & safeguards

We keep information only as long as needed.

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining appropriate business records and meeting legal obligations. The public site does not maintain a server-side conversation history for the AI site assistant. We use administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information we handle, including HTTPS for the public website and access controls for business systems. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

Privacy requests and questions.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may ask about personal information we hold about you, request access or correction, or withdraw consent for future uses that rely on consent. Some information may need to be retained where required by law or for legitimate record-keeping purposes.
