Last updated: October 2, 2026
Identity and Role of the Data Controller
storyfrontry.org operates this commercial website focused on Everyday Perspectives A Closer Look at Modern Life. As the data controller under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), storyfrontry.org determines the purposes and means of processing personal information collected through the site.
Scope of the Notice and the People It Covers
This privacy policy applies to all visitors and users of the website who are located in Canada. It covers personal information collected from individuals who interact with the site, including through the contact form on the Contacts page, regardless of whether they make a purchase or simply browse content about modern life topics.
Categories of Personal Data and Sources
We collect personal information directly from you when you use the contact form, which may include your name, message content, and any other details you voluntarily provide. Additional data such as IP address, browser type, and device information is obtained automatically through server logs and the site-wide cookie banner. No data is collected from third-party sources or public records.
Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Basis
Personal information is processed for the following purposes: responding to inquiries submitted via the contact form under the legal basis of legitimate interest and consent where applicable; operating and improving the website under legitimate interest; complying with legal obligations such as record-keeping; and delivering the core content on Everyday Perspectives A Closer Look at Modern Life. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary for the stated goal.
Whether Providing Data Is Required and Consequences
Providing personal information through the contact form is voluntary. If you choose not to supply required fields, we may be unable to respond to your inquiry. Automated collection of technical data occurs whenever you visit the site and cannot be avoided without disabling essential browser functions.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies as disclosed in the separate Cookie Policy accessible via the site-wide cookie banner. You can manage preferences through that banner at any time.
Processors, Service Providers, Recipients and Disclosures Required by Law
Personal information may be shared with service providers such as hosting companies, analytics platforms, and form processing tools that assist in website operations. These providers are bound by contractual safeguards. Disclosure may also occur when required by Canadian law, court order, or regulatory authority.
International Transfers and Safeguards
Some service providers may be located outside Canada. In such cases, storyfrontry.org ensures appropriate safeguards including contractual clauses that align with PIPEDA requirements to protect your personal information during transfer and processing.
Specific Retention Periods or Criteria
Contact form submissions are retained for up to two years to allow follow-up and record-keeping. Technical logs are kept for twelve months. Retention periods are determined by the need to fulfill the original purpose, legal requirements, and legitimate business needs before secure deletion.
Security and Data-Minimisation Practices
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are implemented to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. Data collection is limited to what is strictly necessary for the described purposes, and unnecessary details are not requested or stored.
All Applicable Data-Subject Rights and Practical Method for Exercising Them
Under PIPEDA you have the right to access your personal information, request correction, withdraw consent where applicable, and file complaints. To exercise these rights, contact us using the form on the Contacts page or reach (905) 231-0341 or 49 Handley Crescent, Ajax, ON L1Z 1M2, Canada. We will respond within the timelines required by law.
Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Direct Marketing or Profiling
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us through the methods above. The site does not engage in direct marketing or profiling activities that would require separate objection mechanisms.
Right to Complain to the Competent Supervisory Authority
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at the address and telephone number listed on their official website.
Children or Age Restrictions
The website is intended for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of thirteen. If we become aware that such data has been collected, it will be deleted promptly.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
No automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects is performed on the personal information collected through this site.
Policy Changes and Effective Date
This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. The last updated date appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
