Privacy Policy

I take your privacy seriously and am committed to handling personal information in a responsible and transparent way. This privacy policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected across my websites, including thomaspaul.ca, blog.thomaspaul.ca, tiredpilots.ca, and project123.ca.

This policy is intended to comply with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

1. Accountability

I am responsible for the personal information collected through my websites. I take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is handled appropriately and protected when it is under my control or processed by trusted third-party services on my behalf.

2. Identifying Purposes

Personal information is collected only for clearly identified purposes, including:

• Responding to questions, messages, or submissions

• Operating, maintaining, and improving my websites and tools

• Understanding general website usage and interest in my projects

Information is not collected or used for purposes beyond what is reasonable or expected in this context.

3. Consent

By using my websites or voluntarily submitting information through forms or other features, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this policy.

Consent may be implied for low-risk activities such as anonymous analytics, and may be withdrawn at any time by contacting me, subject to legal or technical limitations.

4. Limiting Collection

I collect only the personal information that is reasonably necessary for the purposes identified. This may include your name, email address, or other details you choose to provide when contacting me or submitting a form.

5. Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention

Personal information is:

• Used only for the purposes for which it was collected

• Not sold, rented, or traded

• Retained only as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill its purpose or meet legal or operational requirements

Information may be processed by trusted third-party service providers solely to operate or support the websites.

6. Accuracy

Where personal information is used to respond to requests or communicate with you, I make reasonable efforts to ensure it is accurate and up to date.

7. Safeguards

I use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information against loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

8. Openness and Transparency

My websites are hosted and supported using third-party services, which may include:

• Google Sites and Blogger for hosting some sites

• Google Forms for collecting submissions

• Google Analytics for anonymous usage tracking

• Cloudflare for performance, reliability, and security (including protection against malicious traffic)

These services may process limited technical information (such as IP addresses or request metadata) as part of providing their functionality, in accordance with their own privacy policies.

9. Individual Access and Choice

You have the right to:

• Request access to personal information you have submitted

• Request corrections or deletion of your information

• Ask questions about how your information is handled

You may also opt out of analytics tracking where available (for example, through browser settings or opt-out tools).

10. Future Tools and Services

From time to time, I may introduce new tools, features, or services to improve functionality or user experience. Any new tools will be used in a manner consistent with this privacy policy. If there are material changes to how personal information is collected or used, this policy will be updated accordingly.

11. Updates to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in practices or services. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
