GDPR Compliance

Last Updated: June 23, 2026

Introduction

This document outlines how we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regarding the processing of personal data for individuals in the European Economic Area, even though our primary operations are based in Canada.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Consent: When you submit service request forms, you provide explicit consent for us to process your contact information and equipment details
  • Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary to fulfill service agreements and deliver requested maintenance services
  • Legitimate Interests: Maintaining service history records serves our legitimate business interest in providing quality ongoing maintenance

Data Controller Information

For GDPR purposes, ridge-vertex operates as the data controller for personal information collected through this website and service operations.

Contact address: 2847 Industrial Parkway North, Edmonton, Alberta T5J 2L8, Canada
Email: [email protected]

Types of Personal Data Collected

We collect and process the following categories of personal data:

  • Contact information: name, email address
  • Equipment information: equipment type, model, operational details
  • Service history: maintenance records, repair documentation, parts replacement history
  • Technical data: cookies and website usage for essential functionality only

Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data. We will provide this information in a commonly used electronic format.

Right to Rectification

You may request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You may request deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or when you withdraw consent.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You may request that we limit processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.

Right to Data Portability

You may request transfer of your personal data to another service provider in a structured, machine-readable format.

Right to Object

You may object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests. We will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] with your request. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your request.

We may request additional information to verify your identity before processing requests that involve access to or deletion of personal data.

Data Retention Periods

Personal data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in our privacy policy. Service records are typically retained for seven years to support warranty documentation and maintenance history tracking.

International Data Transfers

Personal data collected through this website is stored on servers located in Canada. As Canada is recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate data protection, transfers are permitted under GDPR.

Data Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission, access controls, and regular security assessments.

Automated Decision Making

We do not engage in automated decision making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects on individuals.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and relevant supervisory authorities within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.

Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your personal data violates GDPR requirements.

Updates to This Notice

We may update this GDPR compliance notice to reflect changes in our data processing practices or legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated through email notification.
