Last updated: 30 July 2026. This policy explains how Guelph Maps Guy collects, uses and protects your personal information, in compliance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Quebec's Law 25.
Who We Are (Data Controller)
Guelph Maps Guy (guelphmapsguy.com) is the data controller for this site. For any privacy request, contact privacy@guelphmapsguy.com.
What We Collect
- Information you give us — e.g. your name, email and message if you use the contact form.
- Automatic data — anonymised analytics such as pages viewed, approximate region, device and browser, collected via cookies and similar technologies.
We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the legal gambling age, and we do not process banking or payment details — all transactions occur on operator sites.
How We Use It
To respond to enquiries, understand and improve site performance, and measure affiliate referrals. We do not sell your personal information.
Legal Basis & Retention
We process personal information with your consent and for our legitimate interest in operating the site. Contact-form data is retained only as long as needed to handle your enquiry; analytics data is retained in aggregate.
Your Rights
Under PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25 you may access, correct or delete your personal information, withdraw consent, and (in Quebec) request data portability. Email privacy@guelphmapsguy.com and we'll respond within the statutory timeframe. You may also complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec.
Cookie Policy
We use cookies to run the site and understand how it's used:
- Essential cookies — required for the site to function; always on.
- Analytics cookies — help us measure traffic and improve content.
- Affiliate/marketing cookies — record that you arrived from our site so partners can attribute a referral.
In line with Quebec Law 25 and PIPEDA, non-essential (analytics and marketing) cookies are only set after you give consent via our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw consent at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer or your browser controls.
Third Parties
When you click an affiliate link you leave our site and are subject to the operator's own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing it. We may use privacy-respecting analytics providers who process data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards.
