Privacy, terms, and disclosures

Privacy policy

AI Canada Pulse is a personal project operated from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. This policy describes what the site collects and how it is used. Canadian private-sector privacy expectations are informed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act where it applies.

What we collect

• Vercel Web Analytics: The site uses Vercel Web Analytics for aggregate page-view information. Vercel's current documentation says Web Analytics stores anonymised data and does not use cookies.
• Hosting and security logs: Vercel may process standard request, runtime, and security logs needed to host, secure, debug, and measure the site. AI Canada Pulse does not sell or publish those logs.
• Local storage: Your light/dark theme choice is stored in your browser's localStorage and is not sent to AI Canada Pulse as account data.
• Email address, if you subscribe: Newsletter email addresses, confirmation tokens, unsubscribe tokens, and subscription status are stored in Supabase. Confirmation and weekly newsletter messages are sent through Resend. Your email is used for the newsletter workflow only.

What we do not collect

• We do not require user accounts, passwords, or login profiles.
• We do not use analytics cookies or third-party advertising trackers.
• We do not sell newsletter email addresses, share them for advertising, or use them for unrelated campaigns.

Newsletter consent and unsubscribe

The newsletter follows a double opt-in flow: a visitor submits an email address, receives a confirmation email, and must confirm before weekly messages are sent. Each email includes an unsubscribe link. This is designed to align with the core Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation requirements for consent, identification, and a working unsubscribe mechanism.

Terms of use

AI Canada Pulse is provided “as is” for informational use. By using this site, you acknowledge that:

• Content is not professional, financial, legal, regulatory, policy, medical, or investment advice.
• Market, jobs, benchmark, and adoption evidence is context only and should not be used for trading or investment decisions.
• Source feeds, public datasets, and upstream websites can be delayed, incomplete, duplicated, or unavailable.
• AI-assisted content can contain errors and should be checked against linked source paths before relying on it.

AI-assisted content disclosure

AI Canada Pulse uses OpenAI models and rule-based processing to help turn public-source material into readable briefing surfaces. Normal public page views read stored results and do not call an AI provider directly.

• Story summaries - concise summaries of public feed items, cached before display
• Daily digest - latest source-linked overview of Canadian AI stories
• Longer explainers - source-linked posts generated when significance thresholds or freshness rules are met
• Section and world-feed summaries - short summaries for live-feed sections and global AI context
• Topic matching - rule-based matching with AI fallback for ambiguous stories
• Quote review aid - AI classification before candidate government quotes enter a human review queue

AI-assisted content is disclosed through site-level notices, methodology notes, and contextual explanations. It may contain errors, omissions, hallucinations, or misleading phrasing. Always verify important information with linked source paths.

Copyright and attribution

AI Canada Pulse links to source pages and displays limited headline, snippet, metadata, or summary material for news reporting, research, and reader context about AI in Canada. Where applicable, the site relies on Canadian Copyright Act fair-dealing purposes such as research, criticism or review, and news reporting.

The source name and original link are retained when available. AI Canada Pulse can correct or remove how a record is displayed here, but it does not control upstream publisher records.

Population figures used in regional context are sourced from Statistics Canada, Table 17-10-0009-01, “Population estimates, quarterly” (Q4 2025, January 1, 2026).

If you are a content owner and have concerns about how your content is displayed, contact scott@scotthazlitt.ai.

Accessibility

AI Canada Pulse targets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 Level AA. That target is consistent with the web-content standard referenced in Manitoba's Accessible Information and Communication Standard Regulation under The Accessibility for Manitobans Act. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, contact scott@scotthazlitt.ai.
