Privacy Policy

Important: This publication-ready template must be aligned with the site’s actual analytics, advertising, newsletter, hosting and retention practices and reviewed for the applicable Canadian privacy laws before publication.

Information you provide

We receive information you choose to submit, such as your name, email address, message, pitch, project details and review links. Newsletter registration may be handled by a named email service provider under its own privacy terms.

Information collected automatically

The website and its service providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring page and interactions needed for security, delivery and audience measurement. The exact cookies and analytics tools in use should be listed here before publication.

How information is used

Information may be used to operate and secure the site, respond to enquiries, assess submissions, deliver requested newsletters, understand aggregate readership and administer partnerships. We do not sell personal information as a standalone product.

Service providers and disclosure

Hosting, email, analytics, security and publishing providers may process information on our behalf. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a legitimate organizational transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.

Retention

Information is retained only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, legal obligations, security and editorial records. Define operational retention periods for contact messages, unsuccessful pitches and newsletter data before publication.

Your choices and requests

You can unsubscribe from marketing email using the link in each message. Depending on applicable law, you may ask about access, correction or deletion of personal information, subject to legal and editorial-record exceptions. Send a privacy request through the contact page.

Children, international processing and changes

The site is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect information from children knowingly. Providers may process information outside your province or country, where it can be subject to local law. Material changes to this notice will be reflected in the revision date.
