2. Information We Collect
The Site does not collect personal information directly. We do not require account creation, we do not offer login functionality, we do not have contact forms, and we do not operate a newsletter or mailing list. The only data collected is through third-party analytics services, as described below.
3. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how visitors interact with the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as:

- Your browser type, device type, and operating system.

This information is aggregated and anonymized. Google Analytics does not collect your name, email address, or other personally identifiable information through our implementation. For more information on how Google processes this data, please review Google’s Privacy Policy.
4. Use of Cookies
The Site uses cookies placed by Google Analytics to distinguish unique visitors and track sessions. These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. You may also opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Third-Party Services
In addition to Google Analytics, the Site may embed content from or link to third-party services, such as Google Maps, business websites, and social media platforms. These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party services.
7. Data Retention
Google Analytics data retention is set to the default period of 14 months, after which data is automatically deleted. Since we do not collect personal information directly, there is no other user data stored on our servers.

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since the Site does not collect personal information from any users, this applies equally to visitors of all ages.
9. PIPEDA Compliance
As a Canadian website, we are committed to compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation. Since we do not collect, use, or disclose personal information directly, our obligations under PIPEDA are limited. However, we ensure that our use of third-party analytics services is consistent with Canadian privacy principles, including accountability, transparency, and consent.
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal information that may be associated with your use of the Site. If you have concerns about your privacy related to Google Analytics data, you may opt out using the tools described in Section 4 above.
