Privacy Policy

Canadian launch draft — professional review is required, including assessment of the federal and applicable provincial private-sector privacy laws.

What we collect

We may process account details, listing text, photos, approximate location, event dates, contact details, consent records, security logs, session identifiers and source provenance needed for moderation, deduplication and takedown. We do not need a payment card for the free service.

Why

We use data to operate alerts, let owners update or close them, reveal contact details on request, prevent abuse and duplicates, respond to privacy and safety requests, maintain the service and comply with law. We do not use contact details for unrelated marketing without separate consent.

Public visibility

Published alert facts and photos are public. Contact values are not placed in hidden page markup; a visitor must request them and reveal attempts are throttled. Do not publish proof-of-ownership details such as a full microchip number.

Cookies and analytics

Strictly necessary cookies support sessions, security and account access. Optional analytics or advertising must remain disabled until a consent choice is implemented and configured. Rejecting optional cookies must not prevent the core service.

Sharing, storage and safeguards

Data is shared only with service providers needed to run the service, with consent, or where permitted or required by law. Access is restricted and proportionate safeguards are used. Data is retained only as long as needed for the stated purpose, security, dispute handling and legal obligations, then deleted or de-identified.

Your choices

You may request access, correction or deletion, withdraw optional consent, update or close an alert, or challenge our handling of personal information. Some data may be retained where law or a documented safety/security need requires it.
