Privacy Policy

1. Overview and scope

Riseperkzone operates a digital guide focused on cafes across Canada. This Policy applies to information collected through our website and communications such as email or forms that we may offer from time to time. We aim to handle personal information in a manner consistent with the principles set out in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), as well as substantially similar provincial laws where applicable. By using our site, you acknowledge that you have reviewed this Policy and understand the practices described here.

2. Information we collect

We may collect information that you choose to provide, including your name, email address, and message content when you contact our team. Technical information may be collected automatically, such as device type, browser, approximate location derived from IP, pages visited, time on page, and referral sources. Cookies and similar tools support essential functionality, analytics, and preference storage. Where required, we will present options to manage cookies through on‑site controls.

3. How we use information

We use information to operate and improve our site, respond to inquiries, personalize content, conduct analytics, support security, and comply with legal obligations. Aggregated insights help us refine city guides, highlight vegetarian options, and monitor content quality. We may send service messages or editorial updates if you choose to receive them; each message includes a straightforward way to opt out of subsequent communications.

4. Sharing and service providers

We may share information with carefully selected service providers that support hosting, analytics, email delivery, and security. These providers process information on our instructions and implement appropriate safeguards. If required by law, court order, or regulatory request, we may disclose limited information consistent with applicable standards. We do not sell personal information.

5. International considerations

Some service providers may store or process information outside your province or outside Canada. When this occurs, information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions. We strive for contractual safeguards and vendor practices aligned with recognized security frameworks.

6. Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law. Retention periods vary according to inquiry type, operational needs, and regulatory requirements. Once retention ends, information is securely deleted or de‑identified where practical.

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal information, ask for corrections, or inquire about our data practices. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe. If you believe an issue remains unresolved, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or a relevant provincial authority.

8. Security

We apply administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse. While every system carries some level of risk, we work to reduce exposure through access controls, encryption in transit where feasible, regular updates, and monitoring.

9. Cookies and preferences

Cookies enable essential functions such as session continuity and preference storage, and they support analytics that help us improve readability and navigation. Our cookie banner provides a simple way to accept or decline optional categories. You can also adjust browser settings to manage cookies. Certain features may operate with limited functionality if cookies are restricted.

10. Children’s information

Our content is intended for a general audience interested in cafes and travel. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age set by applicable law without appropriate consent. If you believe a child provided personal information, please contact us so we can address the matter.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect operational, legal, or technical developments. Updates will appear on this page with a revised effective date. Material changes will be highlighted for clarity.
