Privacy Policy
1. Who We Are
Aurelian Atelier ("we," "us," or "our") is a sole proprietor operation providing client communication infrastructure services for real estate agents. We are based in the United States and primarily serve clients in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data — both yours as a client, and the data of your contacts that you entrust to us to operate your communication systems.
For any privacy-related questions, contact us at: [email protected]
2. Data We Collect About You (Client Data)

3. Data We Hold on Your Behalf (Third-Party Contact Data)
As part of delivering your service, you provide us with your client contact list — names, email addresses, and any additional details needed to personalise communications.
This is the most sensitive category of data we handle. These are real people who did not directly consent to share their information with us. We treat this data with the highest level of care and apply the strictest controls to it.
How We Use Your Contact List
- Solely to send communications on your behalf, as instructed by you
- Never for our own marketing, analysis, or any purpose outside your service
- Never shared with, accessible by, or used to benefit any other client
- Never cross-referenced across client accounts under any circumstances
Your Responsibility Regarding This Data
By providing a contact list to us, you confirm that:
- You obtained this data lawfully in the course of your business
- Your contacts have not opted out of commercial communications
- You have the right to engage a third party to communicate on your behalf
- You accept responsibility for compliance with electronic communication laws in your jurisdiction
4. How We Use Your Data
We use the data you provide solely to:
- Deliver and manage the communication systems you have engaged us to build
- Communicate with you about your service, account, and system performance
- Process payments and maintain accounting records
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your data with any third party for marketing purposes.
5. Data Retention
Client data is retained for the duration of your active engagement. Upon cancellation or termination of service:
- All account data — contact lists, branding assets, business information, and communication content — is retained for up to 60 days from the last active service date
- After 60 days, all data is permanently and irrecoverably deleted
- Early deletion can be requested at any time — we will process it within 14 days
- On written request, we will provide a full export of your data before deletion
6. Third-Party Platforms
To deliver our services, we work with a small number of third-party platforms. Each platform receives only the minimum data necessary to perform its function:
| Platform Type | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Email communication platform | Sending and managing client communication sequences on your behalf | Your contact list, sending email address, and communication content |
| Payment processor | Processing your subscription payments | Name, email, and payment details |
| Scheduling platform | Strategy call booking and appointment management | Name, email, and booking details |
We do not publicly disclose the specific platforms we use to operate our infrastructure, as these are operational details of our managed service. On written request, active clients may ask which platforms hold their data — we will confirm this within 14 days.
We do not share data with any other parties unless required to do so by law.
7. Your Rights
Regardless of your location, we honour the following rights for all clients and contacts:
Right to Access
You may request a full list of all data we hold on you and your account. We will provide this within 14 days of a written request to [email protected].
Right to Correction
If any data we hold about you is inaccurate, notify us and we will correct it promptly.
Right to Deletion
You may request deletion of your data at any time. We will action this within 14 days. Note that deletion of active client data will require service termination.
Right to Data Portability
On request, we will provide your contact list and any associated data in a portable format before deletion.
Right to Withdraw Consent
You may withdraw consent to data processing at any time by cancelling your service and requesting deletion.
For clients in the UK and EU: You have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We process your data on the legal basis of contractual necessity (to deliver the service you engaged us for) and legitimate interest (to maintain records necessary for our business operations).
8. Client Communications and Compliance
All client-facing communications deployed through our systems on your behalf are structured to comply with applicable electronic communication regulations, including:
- Clear identification of the sending agent (you) in all communications
- A functional opt-out mechanism included in every client-facing communication
- Prompt processing of opt-out requests — honoured within 10 business days
- No deceptive subject lines, sender names, or misleading content
For clients serving contacts in Canada, CASL compliance requirements apply. For UK and EU contacts, GDPR and PECR rules govern electronic communications. You are responsible for ensuring your contact list meets the consent standards required in your recipients' jurisdictions.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data we hold, including:
- Strict account isolation — each client's data held in an independent section with no cross-account access
- Access to client data limited to authorised personnel only
- Platform credentials handled securely and never stored in plain text
- Reliance on established, security-audited third-party infrastructure providers
No data transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we take all reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Cookies
Our website may use cookies set by third-party tools such as our scheduling and booking platform or analytics tools. These cookies may collect standard browsing data such as pages visited, time on site, and referring source.
We do not use cookies to track you across other websites or for advertising purposes. If you have concerns about cookies, you may disable them in your browser settings. This may affect the functionality of some features on the site.
11. Children's Privacy
Our services are intended for business professionals and are not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided data to us, contact us immediately and we will delete it.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to active clients via email at least 14 days before they take effect. The current version is always available at aurelianatelier.com/privacy.
