TechScoop Canada (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a technology news publication operated by CGN Entertainment, based in Vancouver, British Columbia. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit techscoopcanada.com, subscribe to our newsletter or contact us, how we use it, and your rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws.

Who is responsible

CGN Entertainment is accountable for personal information collected through this website. Privacy questions, requests and complaints are handled by our privacy contact, whom you can reach through our contact page.

Information we collect

Information you give us

  • Your email address, when you subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Your name, email address and message, when you contact us with a question, story tip, correction or complaint.

Information collected automatically

  • Device and browser information, such as browser type and operating system.
  • Usage information, such as pages viewed, time on page and the website that referred you.
  • Your IP address and the approximate location derived from it.
  • Server and security logs, such as IP address and the date and time of each request.

Cookies

We use essential cookies that the site needs to work and stay secure, and analytics cookies from services such as Google Analytics that show us how readers use the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings and still read the site. Learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

How we use your information

  • To send you the newsletter you asked for.
  • To respond to your messages, tips, corrections and complaints.
  • To understand our readership and improve our coverage and the site.
  • To keep the site secure and prevent spam and abuse.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

We collect, use and disclose personal information with your consent — express, for example when you subscribe, or implied, for example when you send us a message — or as otherwise permitted by law. We do not sell or rent your personal information. We send commercial electronic messages, including our newsletter, only in line with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), and every message includes an unsubscribe link.

Who we share it with

We share personal information only with service providers that help us run the site — web hosting, email delivery, analytics, and security and spam prevention — under agreements that require them to protect it. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of the publication.

Storage outside Canada

Some of our service providers store or process personal information outside Canada, including in the United States. While it is there, it may be accessible to courts, law enforcement and national security authorities of that country.

How long we keep it

  • Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent.
  • Messages: as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up, then deleted.
  • Analytics data: for the retention period set in our analytics tools.
  • Server and security logs: for a short period, unless needed to investigate an incident.

Your rights

You may:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.
  • Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time.

To make a request, use our contact page. We will respond to access requests within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with how we handle a concern, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca). Residents of British Columbia may also contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia (oipc.bc.ca), and residents of Quebec the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec (cai.gouv.qc.ca).

Children

This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Our stories link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.
