Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to deliver our newsletter and serve our community. When you subscribe to the Camrose Community Insider newsletter, we collect your email address. You may also choose to provide your first name, which helps us personalize your experience. We do not collect payment information, social insurance numbers, or any other sensitive personal data.

If you submit a business listing, event suggestion, or contact form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide so we can respond or publish your submission. We only ask for what is genuinely needed to serve the request.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to send the weekly Camrose Community Insider newsletter, share occasional updates about local businesses and community events, and improve the content we create for our readers. We believe in transparency: we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Ever.

From time to time, we may share aggregated or anonymized insights with local partners to demonstrate the value of our community platform. These insights never identify individual subscribers.

Newsletter Service

Newsletters are delivered through our trusted email platform. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and you may opt out at any time with a single click. Once unsubscribed, you will no longer receive newsletters, and we will remove your email address from our active mailing list.

Cookies & Analytics

We use basic analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website, such as which pages are most popular and how long visitors spend reading articles. This helps us create better content for the Camrose community. We do not use personal tracking cookies, behavioral advertising networks, or any technology that follows you around the internet.

Third-Party Links

Our site links to many wonderful local businesses, the Camrose Public Library, community organizations, and other resources we believe are valuable to residents. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies when you visit them.

Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard practices. We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. Access to subscriber data is limited to the small team that runs Camrose Community Insider.

Your Rights

Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time. If you would like to exercise these rights, or if you have questions about the data we hold, please reach out to us. We will respond promptly and work with you to address your request.

Contact

For privacy-related questions, data requests, or concerns, please email us at hello@camroseinsider.com. We take your privacy seriously and will do our best to resolve any issue quickly and transparently.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. If we make material changes, we will notify subscribers through the newsletter or by posting a prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
