Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when contacting us or subscribing to updates. This may include your name, email address, and general location. We also collect non-personal data such as browser type, device information, and general usage statistics through standard analytics tools.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to deliver, improve, and personalize the content on Lakefront Journal. We may contact you with editorial updates or responses to inquiries. We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. Aggregate analytics may be used to understand audience trends and improve our editorial focus.

Data Protection & Security

We employ industry-standard safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. While no online service is entirely risk-free, we regularly review our data-handling procedures to maintain high security standards. User information is stored only as long as necessary to fulfill legitimate operational purposes.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

We may use trusted third-party providers for hosting, analytics, or communication tools. These partners process data in compliance with privacy regulations and solely for operational purposes. We do not authorize any third party to use your information for marketing or unrelated activities.

Your Rights & Choices

You may request to access, correct, or delete your personal information by contacting us directly. Subscribers can opt out of communications at any time. We are committed to transparency and comply with applicable Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. Once retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymized. Aggregate, non-personal analytics may be retained indefinitely for editorial research purposes.
