Privacy Policy
Last updated: 22 September 2026
Who We Are and Our Role
reportfluxly.net operates this non-commercial informational website focused on visual explorations of Canadian street life, neighborhoods, communities and everyday moments. We act as the data controller under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) for any personal information collected through the site. Our role is limited to managing the website content, blog features and basic visitor interactions while respecting Canadian privacy expectations.
Scope of This Privacy Policy
This notice applies to all visitors to the website regardless of location, provided they interact with features such as the blog, contact form or cookie banner. It covers personal information processed when you browse pages, submit inquiries or engage with content. It does not cover third-party sites linked from our blog posts or external platforms where our content may appear.
What Personal Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly through the contact form, including your name and any details you choose to share in messages. Automatically collected data includes IP addresses, browser type, device information and pages viewed. Sources are limited to your direct input and standard web server logs. No customer reviews or commercial transactions occur on the site, keeping data collection minimal.
How We Use Your Information and Legal Bases
Information is processed to respond to contact form submissions, improve site navigation and blog readability, maintain basic security and comply with legal obligations. Each purpose rests on legitimate interests for site operation or consent where you actively submit details. We do not use data for marketing, profiling or any commercial purpose given the non-commercial nature of the project.
Providing Your Information
Supplying information through the contact form is entirely optional. Choosing not to provide details simply means we cannot respond to your inquiry. No mandatory fields exist beyond what is needed for the form to function technically, and refusal carries no consequences beyond the inability to receive a reply.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The site uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functions such as remembering cookie banner preferences. A separate Cookie Policy explains these practices in detail and is accessible from the site-wide cookie banner. You may manage preferences through your browser settings at any time.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent personal information. Limited sharing occurs only with service providers necessary for hosting, analytics and form processing, all bound by confidentiality agreements. Disclosures may be required by law enforcement or regulatory authorities in Canada when legally compelled.
International Data Transfers
Some service providers may be located outside Canada. When transfers occur we rely on contractual safeguards and the receiving jurisdiction’s legal framework to protect your information in a manner comparable to PIPEDA standards.
How Long We Keep Your Information
Contact form data is retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry and for a reasonable follow-up period, typically no more than twelve months. Server logs are kept for security and operational purposes for up to ninety days before automated deletion. Blog comments, if enabled in the future, follow the same retention approach.
Security of Your Information
We apply standard technical and organizational measures including encryption in transit, access controls and regular software updates. While these steps reduce risk, no system can guarantee absolute security against all threats. Data minimization principles guide what we collect and store.
Your Rights Under Canadian Law
Under PIPEDA you have the right to access your personal information, request corrections, withdraw consent where applicable and challenge our compliance. To exercise these rights please use the contact form on the Contacts page or call +1 (604) 312-6330. We will respond within the timelines set by Canadian law.
Withdrawing Consent and Opting Out
You may withdraw consent for any processing based on consent by contacting us through the methods above. Because the site does not engage in direct marketing or profiling, opting out of such activities is not applicable. Browser settings allow you to refuse non-essential cookies.
Complaints to the Privacy Commissioner
If you remain unsatisfied after contacting us you may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Contact details for the Office are available on its official website. We encourage attempting resolution with us first.
Children’s Privacy
The website content targets a general adult audience interested in Canadian urban life. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under thirteen years of age. If we learn that such data has been provided we will delete it promptly.
Automated Decision Making
No automated decision-making or profiling occurs on the site. All processing involves human review or basic technical functions without algorithms that produce legal or significant effects on individuals.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law, technology or site features. The last-updated date at the top of the page indicates the current version. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
