Privacy Policy

Assuming privacy is automatic online can lead to surprises. We’re committed to making our data practices transparent. This privacy policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how you’re always in control.

  • Account information, like email and username, is collected when you sign up or interact with the site.
  • Usage data, such as which articles you read and for how long, helps us improve our resources.
  • Technical data, including browser type and device information, is gathered to optimize performance and troubleshoot issues.
  • If you subscribe to emails, we store your preferences and delivery history securely.

Legal Basis for Processing

We only collect and process personal data when we have a clear legal basis. In Canada, this means following all applicable privacy laws and ensuring your consent where required.

Our processing is based on your consent, legal requirements, or our legitimate interests in providing a safe and efficient site. You can withdraw consent for non-essential processing at any time.
