Delmarique ("we", "us", or "our") is dedicated to safeguarding the privacy of visitors accessing our Canadian news portal. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, handle, and safeguard your personal information under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal personal data essential to providing quality news services. This includes information you submit directly (such as name, corporate affiliation, and email address via our contact forms), technical usage telemetry (IP addresses, browser type, referral URLs), and analytical cookies that measure readership engagement with our journalistic articles.
2. Purpose and Use of Collected Data
Collected information is processed exclusively for legitimate editorial and administrative operations. We utilize this information to respond to media inquiries, distribute optional news alerts, detect and mitigate cybersecurity threats, improve website loading speeds, and optimize editorial coverage based on aggregated reader interest across Canadian provinces.
3. Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosures
Delmarique does not sell, lease, or monetize personal reader information to commercial third parties or marketing networks. Information is only shared with verified technical infrastructure providers (such as secure cloud web servers) bound by strict confidentiality terms, or when legally compelled under Canadian statutory law or judicial warrant.
4. Technical Security & Data Retention
We deploy industry-standard administrative, physical, and technological safeguards, including modern TLS 1.3 encryption, secure hosting architectures, and restricted administrative credentials. Personal records submitted via inquiries are retained only for the duration necessary to satisfy editorial correspondence and statutory compliance before being permanently purged.
5. Your Privacy Rights & Contact Information
Under PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy legislation, Canadian residents retain the right to inspect, verify, rectify, or request the erasure of personal records held in our systems. To exercise your privacy rights or contact our Privacy Compliance Officer, email us at privacy@delmarique.com or write to: Privacy Officer, Delmarique, 161 Bay Street, Suite 2700, Toronto, ON M5J 2S1, Canada.
