Request access to the personal information we hold about you

Terms of Service
Last updated: January 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
By using the KEYTRONIX website or requesting services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.
2. Services
KEYTRONIX provides automotive key programming, electronic module services, and related automotive security specialist services in Ottawa, Gatineau, and Eastern Ontario. All services are subject to vehicle compatibility and technician availability.
We reserve the right to decline a service request if we determine it cannot be completed safely, legally, or within our technical capability for a specific vehicle.
3. Pricing & Quotes
All prices are quoted upfront before any work begins. Quotes are based on the vehicle and service details you provide. If your vehicle's actual configuration differs from what was described, pricing may be adjusted — we will communicate any changes before proceeding.
KEYTRONIX never starts work without your explicit approval of the quoted price.
4. All Keys Lost — Ownership Verification
For all-keys-lost service, we are legally required to verify that you are the registered owner or authorized operator of the vehicle before generating replacement keys. You must provide valid government-issued photo ID and proof of vehicle ownership.
KEYTRONIX reserves the right to decline service if ownership cannot be verified.
5. Special Orders & Deposits
Parts or keys ordered specifically for your vehicle may require a non-refundable deposit. This will be communicated clearly before the order is placed. Deposit amounts will vary based on the part and supplier. Special order deposits are non-refundable once the order has been submitted to the supplier.
6. Liability
KEYTRONIX carries full liability insurance and operates with professional care. We are not responsible for pre-existing vehicle conditions, software issues introduced by third-party modifications, or failures unrelated to our service.
Our liability is limited to the value of the service performed. We are not liable for consequential or indirect damages.

Customer Data Disclaimer
Plain-language explanation of how KEYTRONIX handles your data.
🔒
Your Data Stays With Us
KEYTRONIX does not sell, share, or transmit your personal information to any third party. Ever.
What You Submit
When you use our contact form, you may submit:
Your name and phone number
Your email address (optional)
Your vehicle's VIN number
Photos of your driver's licence and ownership document (optional, for all-keys-lost service only)
Where Your Data Goes
Your submission travels directly from your browser to our private server in an encrypted connection. It is then forwarded to our business email and accessible only to KEYTRONIX technicians. At no point does your data pass through, or get stored on, any third-party platform.
Why We Collect a VIN
Your VIN allows us to look up the exact key configuration, security system, and module specifications for your vehicle before we arrive. This prevents errors and ensures we bring the correct equipment and parts.
For all-keys-lost service, your VIN is also required by our professional obligation as a NASTF-registered entity to verify vehicle-key-owner matching before generating replacement keys.
Why We Request ID Documents
Identity verification for all-keys-lost service is an industry-standard security measure that protects vehicle owners. It ensures that replacement keys are only ever provided to the registered owner or an authorized person.
Documents you upload are stored in a private, access-restricted location on our server and are deleted once ownership has been confirmed and the service is complete.
You Are Always in Control
Uploading identity documents is optional — it speeds up service, but is not required to book
You can request deletion of your information at any time by calling 613-869-KEYS
We will never contact you for marketing or promotional purposes
We will never share your information with insurance companies, data brokers, or any other third party
Questions?
If you have any concerns about how your data is handled, please contact us directly at 613-869-KEYS. We are happy to explain anything in plain language.
