This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information in compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Ontario privacy standards.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to operate our editorial portal and respond to enquiries.

  • Contact form submissions: Name, email address, and message content when you use our contact form.
  • Analytics data: If you accept analytics cookies, we may collect aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data about page visits, browser type, and general geographic region (country/province level only). We do not collect individual-level tracking without consent.
  • Technical data: Standard server logs including IP addresses (retained for a maximum of 30 days for security purposes).

We do not collect: payment information (no consumer transactions), health records, social insurance numbers, or any sensitive personal data beyond what you voluntarily provide via our contact form.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to enquiries submitted via our contact form
  • To improve our editorial content based on aggregated analytics (analytics cookies only, with your consent)
  • To maintain the security and integrity of our website (server logs)
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making, profiling, or marketing without your explicit consent.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under PIPEDA, we process personal information with your knowledge and consent (express or implied depending on context). For contact form submissions, consent is express. For analytics, consent is granular — you choose via our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.

5. Cookies

We use cookies. Essential cookies are required for the site to function. Analytics cookies are optional and only activated with your consent. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using our cookie consent banner or by contacting us. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

6. Disclosure of Personal Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: Hosting, analytics, or email service providers acting as data processors under contractual data protection obligations.
  • Legal requirements: Where required by Canadian law, court order, or to protect the safety of individuals.

Any third-party service providers handling Canadian personal data are required to maintain standards at least equivalent to PIPEDA.

7. Data Retention

Contact form data is retained for up to 24 months after the enquiry is resolved, then securely deleted. Server logs are retained for 30 days. Aggregated analytics data (non-personal) may be retained indefinitely.

8. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include HTTPS encryption, access controls, and regular security reviews. No internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
