Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
RigWatch is a product of Mindscape IT Inc. · 610, 1115 St. Albert Trail, St. Albert, Alberta T8N 7X6 · salman@mindscapeit.ca · 587-784-9820
Mindscape IT Inc. is committed to protecting the privacy of our clients and their personnel. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it. We comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Alberta privacy legislation.

1. What Information We Collect

Account and Contact Information

When you sign up for RigWatch, we collect:

  • Business name and contact information (name, email address, phone number, site address)
  • Billing information (invoiced separately — we do not store credit card numbers)
  • Dashboard login credentials (passwords are stored in encrypted form)

Equipment Location Data

RigWatch collects GPS location coordinates and signal data from sensors attached to tagged equipment and tools. This data is associated with the asset (tool or equipment) to which the sensor is attached — not with any individual person.

RigWatch is designed to track tools and equipment, not individuals. Sensors should be attached to equipment only. If sensors are placed on vehicles or equipment that are operated by specific individuals, clients are solely responsible for ensuring this complies with all applicable employment laws, privacy legislation, and labour agreements, and for obtaining any necessary consent from employees.

Website Usage Data

When you visit rigwatch.ca, we may collect standard web server log data including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising networks.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the RigWatch platform and services
  • Send SMS alerts to designated phone numbers when geofence events occur
  • Respond to support requests and communicate about your account
  • Issue invoices and process payments
  • Improve and develop the RigWatch platform
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We do not use your data for advertising purposes.

3. How We Store and Protect Your Data

Location data and account information are stored on cloud servers located in Canada. We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss.

Location data is retained for the duration of your active subscription and for up to 90 days following cancellation, after which it is deleted. Account information is retained for a period required to satisfy legal and accounting obligations.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

RigWatch uses a limited number of third-party service providers to operate the platform. These providers process data only as instructed by us and are bound by confidentiality obligations. Categories of providers include cloud hosting, SMS delivery, and domain services. We do not disclose the specific identity of our infrastructure providers as this constitutes confidential business information.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share your personal information with third parties except:

  • With service providers as described in Section 4 above
  • If required by law, court order, or government authority
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of Mindscape IT Inc., our clients, or the public
  • In connection with a sale, merger, or acquisition of Mindscape IT Inc., in which case data would be subject to the acquiring party's privacy policy

6. Your Rights Under PIPEDA

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we hold about you
  • Request access to your personal information
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Withdraw consent to collection and use of your personal information (subject to legal and contractual restrictions)
  • File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at salman@mindscapeit.ca. We will respond to requests within 30 days.

7. Cookies

The RigWatch dashboard uses session cookies strictly necessary for authentication and platform operation. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics cookies that transmit data to third parties.

8. Children's Privacy

RigWatch is a business-to-business platform and is not directed at individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify active clients of material changes by email. The current version is always available at rigwatch.ca/privacy.
