Privacy & Data Governance
This policy outlines how BRUKD Consultancy (“BRUKD,” “we,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information. We focus on using only the data we truly need, applying institutional-grade security, and being transparent about your rights.
1. Plain-Language Overview
As a consulting firm supporting digital modernization and AI adoption, we may handle business information and, depending on the engagement, limited personal information. We collect and use information only to deliver the agreed services, to operate our website, and to meet legal obligations.
2. Global Compliance Framework
Our data stewardship is designed to align with leading privacy and AI governance standards, including:
We maintain accountability for personal information under our control, including how information may be used to inform models and decision-support tools.
3. Our Strategic Identity: Vendor-Agnostic
Independence from Vendors
BRUKD is strictly vendor-agnostic. We do not sell software licenses and we do not accept referral fees. Our recommendations are based on your operational needs, your budget, and the evidence of a tool’s performance.
4. Why We Process Information
We process information only for purposes a reasonable person would consider appropriate for strategic consulting, including:
- Digital maturity audits: mapping tool integration and workflow automation opportunities.
- ROI validation: building pilots (e.g., forecasting or decision support) using minimized or de-identified data where feasible.
- Capability transfer: providing training and documentation so your team can safely operate the implemented systems.
- Regulatory alignment: supporting Canadian partners in aligning projects with innovation grants and practical AI governance requirements.
5. Responsible AI Governance
In proactive alignment with the emerging Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA), we apply risk-mitigation practices for higher-impact use cases. Our goal is practical, explainable outcomes — not black-box decisions.
Ethical Guardrails
We reduce unfair bias through careful data preparation, testing, and review. Where applicable, we implement logging and audit trails so outputs remain traceable and explainable to clients and stakeholders.
6. Security & Data Minimization
We follow a Privacy-by-Design approach. We collect the minimum amount of data required to deliver a defined outcome.
- Encryption: TLS for data in transit and strong encryption standards for data at rest (where applicable).
- Access controls: least-privilege access, role-based permissions, and limited sharing.
- Residency: primary processing occurs in secure Canadian environments, while supporting global clients via remote-first protocols.
- Zero data sale: we never sell, trade, or profile your data for third-party brokers.
7. Your Rights & Mastery
Regardless of geography, you may request access to, correction of, or secure deletion of personal information we hold. As part of our Capability Transfer model, we provide clients with visibility into how data informs the solutions we build.
