Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

MapleNorth News is operated in Canada. Our mailing address and contact details are listed in the footer and in the Contact section below.

2. Information we collect

We may collect information in the following ways:

• Contact form data: name, email, optional phone number, message content, and message type.
• Cookie preference: your Accept or Reject choice stored in a consent cookie.
• Basic technical data: device and browser information that may be included in standard server logs (for security and reliability).

3. How we use information

We use information to operate the site, respond to inquiries, review correction requests, improve performance, and protect against abuse. We do not use contact messages for unrelated marketing.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:

• Essential cookies: required for core functionality and consent storage.
• Optional analytics: used only if you choose Accept in the cookie card. In this template, analytics are not enabled by default.

You can change cookie settings in your browser. If you reject optional cookies, the site remains usable.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We may share information with service providers who help us run the site (for example, hosting or email delivery), under contractual obligations to protect the data. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect the safety and integrity of the site.

6. Data retention

We retain contact messages only as long as necessary to respond, verify information, maintain records of corrections, and meet legal or security obligations. We periodically review retention and delete data that is no longer needed.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is guaranteed to be fully secure, so we encourage you not to submit sensitive personal data through the contact form.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on your jurisdiction in Canada, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to legal exceptions. To make a request, contact us and provide enough detail to identify your records.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect operational or legal changes. Updates will be posted on this page, and the effective date will be revised.
