Privacy Notice

Scope

This notice describes in general terms how personal information is handled in connection with the site. The project operates from Canada and takes into account the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, known as PIPEDA, and applicable provincial privacy laws. The site is intended for adults aged 18 and over.

Information collected

The site does not require registration and does not ask readers to create accounts. As with most websites, basic technical information may be recorded when a page is requested, such as the page visited, the date and time, the type of browser or device, and an approximate network location derived from an internet address. This information is used to keep the site working, to understand which topics are read, and to protect against misuse.

Analytics and cookies

Minimal analytics may be used to measure overall traffic in aggregate form. Cookies are small files stored by a browser, and the site may use them for essential functions and basic measurement. Browser settings allow cookies to be limited or deleted, and some features may behave differently as a result. The site does not knowingly build profiles of individual readers.

Messages and correspondence

If correspondence is sent through the contact channel once it is published, the content and sender details are used to respond and are retained only as long as needed for that purpose and for record keeping about corrections.

Sharing and retention

Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by service providers that host or operate the site, and it may be disclosed where law requires. Information is kept for a limited period appropriate to its purpose.

Rights and questions

Under Canadian privacy law, individuals can ask about personal information held about them and request correction. Such requests can be made through the contact page once an address is published. Concerns can also be directed to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the relevant provincial authority.

This notice may be updated, and the revised version replaces the earlier one when posted.
