Privacy Policy

AI Canada Pulse is a personal project operated from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. This policy explains how we handle information in compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

What we collect

• Analytics: We use Vercel Analytics, a first-party, privacy-friendly analytics service. It collects anonymised page-view data (no cookies, no personal identifiers). No data is sold or shared with third parties.
• Server logs: Standard web server logs (IP address, user agent, request URL) are retained by Vercel for operational purposes and automatically purged.
• Local storage: Your theme preference (light/dark) is stored in your browser's localStorage. This never leaves your device.
• Email address (optional): If you subscribe to our weekly newsletter, we collect your email address with your explicit consent. Your email is stored securely in Supabase (Postgres) and is used solely to send you a weekly summary of Canadian AI developments. We never share, sell, or use your email for any other purpose. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email.

What we do not collect

• We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics.
• We do not collect names or any personally identifiable information beyond the email address you voluntarily provide when subscribing to our newsletter.
• We do not require account creation or login.

CASL Compliance

We comply with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). We use double opt-in: you must confirm your subscription via email before receiving any newsletters. Every email includes an unsubscribe link that takes effect immediately. We identify ourselves clearly in every communication.
