By accessing or using our Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our Services. This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service. Our practices are governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation.

We will not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
Service Providers Outside Canada
We use third-party service providers to help us operate our Services. Some of these providers are located outside Canada, which means your personal information may be transferred to and processed in foreign jurisdictions, including the United States. These jurisdictions may have different privacy laws than those in Canada.
Our key service providers include:
- Beehiiv — our newsletter platform (United States), which processes subscriber email addresses and engagement data
- Stripe — our payment processor (United States), which handles payment card information securely
- Google Analytics — for website analytics (United States)
By using our Services, you acknowledge that your personal information may be transferred to these service providers and processed outside Canada. We take reasonable steps to ensure that our service providers maintain appropriate privacy and security standards.
Security of Personal Information
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include using secure connections (HTTPS) for our Site and relying on third-party payment processors that are PCI-DSS compliant for handling payment information.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You assume the inherent risks of providing information online.
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable law. When your information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

You may withdraw your consent to the collection and use of your personal information at any time, subject to legal and contractual restrictions. To withdraw consent, you may:
- Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we send you
- Cancel your paid subscription through your account settings or by contacting us directly
- Contact us at the email address below to request deletion of your personal information
Please note that withdrawing consent may affect your ability to use certain features of our Services. Cancelling your subscription will not result in the immediate deletion of your personal information where we are required to retain it for legitimate business or legal purposes.
You also have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request that we correct any inaccuracies. To make such a request, please contact us using the information provided below.
