Privacy Policy (Canadianow.com)

Effective date: January 20, 2026
Last updated: January 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Canadianow (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit canadianow.com (the “Website”), contact us, subscribe to our emails, or use any related services.

1) Who we are / Contact

Website operator: Canadianow
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Email: info@canadianow.com

If you have questions, requests, or complaints about privacy, contact us at info@canadianow.com.

2) Scope

This Policy applies to information collected through the Website and communications with us. It does not apply to third-party websites or services we link to (for example, government sites, payment processors, or embedded video platforms), which have their own privacy practices.

3) What we collect

A) Information you provide

Depending on how you use the Website, we may collect:

• Contact information (e.g., name, email address) when you email us, fill out a form, or subscribe.

• Message content you send (including attachments).

• Purchase information (if you buy a report/product): billing/contact details and transaction metadata. We do not store full payment card details; payments are handled by third-party payment processors (if enabled).

Important: Please avoid sending sensitive personal documents (passport numbers, medical details, etc.) unless we explicitly request them for a specific purpose. If you choose to include sensitive info in a message, you do so voluntarily.

B) Information collected automatically

When you visit the Website, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:

• IP address, device type, browser type, operating system

• pages viewed, time spent, referring/exit pages, approximate location (city/region level)

• cookie identifiers and similar online identifiers

4) How we use information

We may use personal information to:

• operate, maintain, and improve the Website

• respond to inquiries and provide support

• send newsletters/updates if you opted in (you can unsubscribe anytime)

• monitor and protect security, prevent fraud/abuse, and enforce policies

• measure performance and understand audience (analytics)

• comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests

We aim to collect and use personal information in a manner consistent with recognized privacy principles (including transparency, limiting collection, safeguards, access, and accountability).

5) Legal bases (for visitors in the EEA/UK/Switzerland)

If GDPR applies to you, we process personal data under one or more of these bases:

• Consent (e.g., marketing emails, non-essential cookies where required)

• Legitimate interests (e.g., website security, basic analytics, improving content), balanced against your rights

• Contract (e.g., delivering paid products/services if applicable)

• Legal obligation (e.g., compliance, fraud prevention)

6) Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Essential functions (security, site functionality)

• Preferences (language/region if enabled)

• Analytics (understanding site usage)

• Advertising (if enabled)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Where required, you’ll be offered a cookie/consent choice on the Website.

Google AdSense / Google advertising (if enabled)

If we serve ads (including Google AdSense), Google and other ad technology providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• deliver and measure ads

• limit ad frequency

• detect fraud

• (where permitted) personalize ads

For users in the EEA/UK/Switzerland, Google requires specific disclosures and (where legally required) consent for cookies/local storage and for ad personalization data processing.
If you serve personalized ads to users in those regions, Google may require using a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) aligned with IAB TCF standards.

7) When we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in these situations:

A) Service providers

We may share information with vendors who help us run the Website (hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, payment processing, etc.). They are authorized to use information only as needed to provide services to us.

B) Legal and safety reasons

We may disclose information if required to comply with law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect rights, safety, and security (including fraud prevention).

C) Business transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction (subject to reasonable safeguards).

8) International data transfers

Our service providers may process data in countries outside Canada (for example, the United States). Those jurisdictions may have different privacy laws. We take reasonable steps to protect information when it is processed by service providers.

9) Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, for security, dispute resolution, or compliance).

10) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11) Your choices and rights

Email marketing

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link (or by emailing info@canadianow.com).

Access and correction (Canada)

You may request access to your personal information and ask for corrections where appropriate, subject to legal exceptions. Canadian privacy principles emphasize accountability and individual access.

Québec (Law 25) notice

If we collect personal information through technological means, Québec law requires publishing a clear “confidentiality policy” and notifying users of material changes.
Consent should be easy to give and easy to refuse, where consent is required.

EEA/UK/Switzerland rights (if applicable)

You may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict processing, object to processing, and data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent).

To exercise rights: email info@canadianow.com.

12) Children’s privacy

The Website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

13) Third-party links and embedded content

The Website may include links to third-party sites or embedded content (e.g., videos). Those third parties may collect information via their own tools. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not ours.

14) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and change the “Last updated” date. If required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent.
