01/ How do I create an Outlook.com account?

To create an Outlook.com account, you can click the “Create free account” button at the top of this site.

02/ I have a Hotmail.com, Live.com, or MSN.com email account. Is that the same as Outlook?

Yes! You can use these accounts across all Outlook apps with the benefits that come with free or paid plans, depending on which you have.

03/ I don’t have an Outlook.com account. Can I still use Outlook apps?

Yes! Outlook desktop apps on Windows and Mac and mobile apps on iOS and Android support most third-party accounts including Gmail, Yahoo!, iCloud, and other mail services. You can access multiple personal accounts as well as your work or school accounts all in a single Outlook app. This will help put all your mail and calendars in one place. Toggling between accounts is simple with a few clicks of a button, without leaving the app.

04/ How does mailbox storage and Microsoft storage work for Outlook?

For details on Outlook mailbox storage and Microsoft storage, please see this support article .

05/ Why do I see ads in my Outlook inbox?

If you have a paid account, you do not receive ads. This includes customers using Outlook with a Microsoft 365 account provided by their company, school, or organization. It also includes those who have a Microsoft 365 Basic, Personal, or Family subscription. If you use a free email service such as Outlook.com, Hotmail, or Gmail without a Microsoft 365 subscription, you’ll see ads in your inbox clearly marked with an ad label to distinguish them from other emails. If you prefer not to see ads, you may purchase a Microsoft 365 subscription to remove any advertising served by Microsoft. Experiences for Microsoft 365 for Business and education subscribers may vary by plan.

06/ What do I get for Outlook with a Microsoft 365 subscription?

A Microsoft 365 subscription includes premium Outlook features such as an ad-free experience, custom email domains, advanced security against phishing and malware, 50 GB of mailbox storage, and 1 TB of cloud storage, plus access to desktop apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

07/ If I have a personal Office (one-time) license, will I be able to access desktop apps and have an ad-free Outlook experience?

A one-time purchase of Office includes classic desktop versions of apps such as Outlook, Word, and Excel for use on a single PC or Mac, but it does not include Microsoft 365 subscription benefits like cloud storage, ongoing feature updates, or ad-free web mail.

Under Canadian privacy legislation (including PIPEDA), you have clear rights regarding your personal records. You may request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete information, or withdraw consent for optional marketing communications at any time. To exercise these rights, please contact our privacy representative using the details provided below.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to satisfy the purposes for which it was gathered, including satisfying construction warranty periods, statutory lien limitations, tax reporting obligations, and corporate governance requirements. Once the retention criteria expire, records are securely deleted or anonymized.

We enforce reasonable administrative, technological, and physical measures to safeguard your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or theft. These protections include SSL/TLS encryption, secure database access controls, and restricted staff authorization. While we employ rigorous standard precautions, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed 100% secure.

11. Children's Privacy

Our website and construction services are intended strictly for adults and commercial property owners. We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or store personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can promptly purge the record.
