By Yorkis EstevezOperatorBarrie, Ontario, Canada
Barrie, Ont. - Trovedge is the contractor growth partner for trade businesses in Canada and the United States (websites, local SEO, 24/7 AI receptionist, and CRM/follow-up). This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how to request deletion.
Resumen en español
Trovedge recopila la información que usted nos entrega (nombre, correo, teléfono, mensajes de formularios y llamadas) y datos de uso del sitio para operar el servicio, procesar pagos con Stripe y medir campañas publicitarias con Google. No vendemos su información personal. Si usted vive en Estados Unidos, puede solicitar acceso, corrección o eliminación de sus datos, y oponerse al uso de su actividad para medir anuncios, escribiendo a privacy@trovedge.com. El texto en inglés de esta página prevalece en caso de cualquier diferencia con este resumen.
Information we collect
- Account info: company name, contact name, email, phone, plan, and billing status.
- Billing data: handled by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers.
- Business context: briefs, notes, goals, constraints, brand preferences, process details, and files you provide.
- Call, form, and lead records: the customer enquiries we process to deliver the service, including AI receptionist call records and website form submissions.
- Work records: drafts, plans, recommendations, task queues, approvals, revisions, and delivery history.

- To maintain safety controls, audit approval history, and prevent misuse.
- To improve Trovedge using de-identified operational patterns where appropriate.

Data location
Trovedge is operated from Barrie, Ontario, Canada. The trovedge.com website is served by Netlify's global network and the application backend runs on Fly.io in Toronto, Canada. Processors we use for billing, calling, and ad measurement — Stripe, ElevenLabs, Telnyx, and Google — may process data in the United States or other regions under their own compliance programs.
Canada (PIPEDA/CASL)
For visitors and customers in Canada, we handle personal information following the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) principles: we collect only what we need, tell you why we're collecting it, keep it reasonably secure, and give you access to correct or delete it on request (see “Your choices” above).
Any commercial electronic message we send (email or text) is sent only with your consent or an existing business relationship, identifies Trovedge as the sender, and includes a working way to unsubscribe, as required by Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
United States residents — CCPA/CPRA
This section describes how we handle personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, for any U.S. resident — whether you are just browsing trovedge.com or you are a customer.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Categories we collect
- Identifiers: name, email, phone, business name, IP address.
- Commercial info: the service you enquired about, stated budget, plan and billing status.
- Internet/network activity: pages viewed, links clicked, referring page, and similar site-usage data.
- Audio/voice: call audio and transcripts if you call or are called by the AI receptionist.
- Content you submit: messages, briefs, and files you send us.
Where it comes from
- Directly from you — forms, calls, and emails.
- Automatically from your browser — analytics and cookies.
- From our processors — Stripe (payment status), ElevenLabs and Telnyx (call metadata).
Why we use it
- To respond to your enquiry and deliver the service you asked for.
- To process payments (Stripe) and run the AI receptionist (ElevenLabs, Telnyx).
- To measure whether our ads are working (Google).
- For security, fraud prevention, and to keep approval controls auditable.
Who we share it with
We do not sell personal information. We do share site-activity data — such as which pages you viewed or that you clicked an ad — with Google so they can measure ad performance. Under the CPRA that counts as a “share” even though no money changes hands. You can opt out of this at any time by turning on Global Privacy Control in your browser (we honour the signal automatically) or by emailing privacy@trovedge.com.
Your rights
- Know what personal information we hold about you and where it came from.
- Delete personal information we hold about you, subject to legal exceptions.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Opt out of the sharing described above.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.
Authorized agents, verification, and timelines
You can name an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf; we may ask for written proof of the agent's authority and still verify your identity directly. We verify a request by matching the name, email, or phone number you give us against our records, and may ask for more detail if we can't confirm it's you. We acknowledge a verifiable request within 10 business days and respond within 45 calendar days (the statute allows one 45-day extension with notice for complex requests).
Call recording and transcripts
Calls to the live AI-receptionist demo line, and calls handled by a Trovedge-run AI receptionist for a customer's business, are processed by ElevenLabs (conversational AI) and Telnyx (telephony) and produce a written transcript. We use transcripts and any associated recording to run the receptionist itself, review call quality, and — for the demo line — follow up with you as a prospect. We do not sell call recordings or transcripts.
Text messages (STOP)
If you check the SMS/call consent box on a form (for example, the Missed-Job Audit request), you may receive a text message or call about your request, including automated messages. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. Reply STOP to any text to opt out at any time — it is not a condition of purchasing anything from us. We do not sell phone numbers collected for texting.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes, we will update this page and notify active customers when the change materially affects their use of the service.
