Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 1, 2026 — Information provided under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation.

Introduction

Protecting your personal information matters to us. Below we explain which information we collect when you visit fednewcane.com, the purposes of that collection, and the rights available to you.

1. Accountable organisation

Fednewcane Media Inc., 250 Yonge Street, Suite 2201, Toronto, ON M5B 2L7, Canada

Telephone: +1 416 555 0184

Email: [email protected]

Privacy Officer: [email protected]

2. Definitions and principles

Personal information is any information about an identifiable individual. We handle information only in accordance with applicable law, primarily PIPEDA, Canada's anti-spam legislation (CASL) and provincial privacy statutes. We apply the fair information principles: accountability, identifying purposes, consent, limiting collection, limiting use and retention, accuracy, safeguards, openness, individual access and challenging compliance.

3. Server log files

When you visit our website, our hosting provider automatically records information sent by your browser:

  • truncated or anonymised IP address
  • date and time of the request
  • page or file accessed
  • referring URL
  • browser type, browser version and operating system
  • volume of data transferred and HTTP status code

We rely on your implied consent for this processing, which is necessary for the secure, stable and error-free operation of the website and for protection against attacks. The data is deleted or anonymised after no more than 30 days unless a security incident requires longer retention.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We use strictly necessary cookies and local storage objects required to operate the website — for example to record your consent choice. These rely on your implied consent.

Non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising, retargeting) are only used after your express opt-in consent. That consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future through the "Cookie settings" link in the banner or through our cookie policy, where you will also find details of the individual cookies.

5. Measurement and advertising networks

This page is promoted through advertising networks such as Outbrain, Taboola, Meta and Google. If you have given consent, these providers may set cookies or tracking pixels to measure the delivery and effectiveness of advertising (conversion measurement) and to show interest-based ads. This mainly involves a click ID, truncated IP addresses, device and browser information and details of the pages visited. The sole basis for this is your consent.

Without consent these services are not loaded. Further information is available in each provider's privacy policy, including Outbrain (outbrain.com/privacy).

6. Affiliate links and redirects

Buttons and links on this page lead to third-party offers. When you click, parameters (such as a partner or campaign identifier) may be passed to the destination store so that a referred order can be attributed to us. Once you leave our site, only the destination provider's privacy policy applies. We generally receive only aggregated settlement data without personal information. We rely on our legitimate business interest in accounting for referred purchases, or on your consent where cookies are used.

7. Contacting us by email

If you contact us by email, we process your information (name, email address, content of your message) in order to handle your enquiry. We delete the information once the matter is finally resolved and no statutory retention obligations remain (generally after 6 months; accounting and tax records are retained for six years in line with the Income Tax Act).

8. Hosting and content delivery

Our website is operated with a hosting provider under a written agreement requiring a comparable level of protection. Static content such as images is delivered through a content delivery network to reduce loading times.

9. Recipients and transfers outside Canada

Your information is disclosed only to service providers (hosting, analytics, ad delivery) and where we are legally required to do so. Some of these providers process information outside Canada, in particular in the United States and the European Union; while it is located in another country it may be accessible to the courts and authorities of that country. We use contractual measures to require a comparable level of protection.

10. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described, or for as long as statutory retention periods apply. It is then deleted or anonymised.

11. Your rights

  • access to the personal information we hold about you
  • correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • deletion of information we no longer need
  • information about how and why your data is used and to whom it is disclosed
  • withdrawal of consent at any time, subject to legal and contractual restrictions
  • opting out of commercial electronic messages under CASL
  • challenging our compliance and, if unresolved, filing a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, 30 Victoria Street, Gatineau, QC K1A 1H3, or with your provincial privacy commissioner

To exercise your rights, a simple message to [email protected] is sufficient. We respond to access requests within 30 days.

12. No automated decision-making

We do not carry out automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects for you.

13. Safeguards

We use TLS encryption (HTTPS) to transmit information between your browser and our server and apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information against loss, manipulation and unauthorised access.

14. Protection of minors

Our offering is aimed at adults. Individuals under 13 should not provide us with personal information without the consent of a parent or guardian.

15. Changes to this policy

We update this privacy policy when changes to our services or to the law require it. The version published on Fednewcane applies at any given time.
