Canadian Budget Binder Privacy Policy and Disclosures
Last updated: February 27, 2022
C.E.O. Canadian Budget Binder
Canadian Budget Binder is run by myself, Mr. C.B.B. and I reside in the Greater Toronto Area. What personal data I collect and why I collect it are detailed below.
What personal data I collect and why I collect it are detailed below.
Contact forms
Information collected via contact forms is used only by me to communicate with you regarding your inquiries. No one else receives this information.
Newsletter
When you sign up for my mailing list, your name and email are kept by my mailing list provider, Mailerlite, to send newsletters via email.
Some of the links on this Site are ads, partners, or affiliate links. This means I might make a small commission if you buy from the linked sites. Data-collection details are coming soon.
Cookies
My Site uses cookies to give information to Google Analytics. You may opt out when you visit; you can also clear your browser cache of all data.
Analytics
I use Google Analytics to track anonymous usage data. Information is collected through the use of cookies. It is used only to analyze site performance, and this gives me information on page views and site traffic (but NOT anything about who you are or any personal information of any kind). You can turn off cookies at any time by modifying your browser’s settings.
Who I share your data with
I do not share names or email addresses sent via contact forms with any other party. Mailerlite will have your name and email address if you sign up for my mailing list. Google Analytics only retains info about visitors, pages viewed, etc. G.A. does not collect any information that could identify you personally. WordPress itself does not share any data with anyone.
How long I retain your data
Mailerlite
My newsletter service will retain your name and email until you ask me to have you “forgotten,” which takes 30 days to happen. Email me directly (you can use my contact form) and ask me to “forget” you from the mailing list. When I remove you, I can altogether remove your data. From Mailerlite: “When you use the Delete function in the subscriber section of MailerLite, the information is not entirely removed. The reason for this is simple. If that person later resubscribes, their history is still there, so you don’t have to rebuild their profile. MailerLite created a new feature called Forget that completely wipes a person’s data from our system. This function was built specifically for GDPR compliance of the right to be forgotten. When you choose Forget, the subscriber’s data will be removed entirely. Everything will be permanently deleted, including reports, clicks, profile data, etc.” Once initiated, data is entirely gone within 30 days.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics keeps data on-site traffic up to 14 months, the shortest retention period available (but remember, site stats do not have any info about who you are personally). While my Site does not give Google any personal info about you, other websites might have at some point…you can find out more & use tools to manage your Google data here:
