Introduction

Canada Health Journal (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we safeguard it when you visit canadahealthjournal.ca.

Information We Collect

We collect as little personal information as possible. We only receive personal data that you choose to provide:

  • Contact information: Your name and email address if you email us or subscribe to our newsletter.

We do not require an account to read our content.

Cookies and Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use our health guides — for example, which articles are most read. We do not run advertising and we do not build advertising profiles of our visitors.

Analytics runs in a privacy-protective mode. When you first arrive, no analytics cookies are set and measurement is anonymous (we use Google Consent Mode with analytics storage denied by default). A small banner lets you Accept or Decline:

  • If you Accept, analytics cookies are set so we can measure visits more accurately.
  • If you Decline — or simply ignore the banner — no analytics cookies are stored, and only anonymous, aggregate measurement is collected.

You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser. IP addresses handled by Google Analytics are anonymized, and we do not collect personally identifying information through analytics. Google processes this data as our analytics provider; see Google’s privacy documentation for details.

Our web server may also keep standard, short-lived access logs (such as your IP address and the page requested) for security and reliability purposes. These logs are not used to track or identify individual readers.

How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information you provide only to:

  • Respond to your inquiries
  • Send you our newsletter, if you have opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time)

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing.

PIPEDA Compliance

Canada Health Journal complies with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal information you have provided to us. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@canadahealthjournal.ca.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, with an updated “Last Updated” date.
