2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information about visitors to our website. Specifically:

  • Google Analytics data – anonymous, aggregated statistics about how visitors use our site (pages visited, time on site, approximate location, device type, referring sources). This data does not identify you personally.

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, payment details, or any other personal information unless you choose to contact us directly.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us understand how visitors engage with our website.

Google Analytics data is processed and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside of Canada. By using our site, you consent to Google processing this data on our behalf. Google's privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by:

  • Installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

  • Enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser settings

  • Adjusting your browser's cookie preferences

4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies solely through Google Analytics. These are small text files stored on your device that help us understand site traffic and usage patterns. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when cookies are being set. If you do so, some parts of our site may not function properly.

5. How We Use Information

The anonymous analytics data we collect is used solely to:

  • Understand how visitors find and use our website

  • Improve the content, structure, and performance of bizbesties.ca

  • Identify technical issues or areas for improvement

We do not sell, rent, or trade any information to third parties.

6. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

7. Data Retention

Google Analytics data is retained in our Google Analytics account for 26 months by default, after which it is automatically deleted. We do not retain any other personal data.

8. Your Rights (PIPEDA)

As a Canadian resident, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we hold about you (if any)

  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information

  • Withdraw consent to the collection of your personal information

  • Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca)

Because we collect only anonymous analytics data, we are unlikely to hold any information that identifies you. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us at connect@bizbesties.ca.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
