Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how MyGrandePrairie.com collects, uses and protects your information. We follow Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Alberta's PIPA.
1. Information we collect
- Account information — name, email, password (stored hashed), business or realtor details.
- Listing & submission content — business info, property listings, classifieds, event and contact form submissions.
- Newsletter — your email address if you subscribe.
- Payment — handled by Stripe; we do not store your card number. We keep subscription status and a Stripe customer ID.
- Usage & device data — basic logs and cookies for functionality and security. Approximate weather is based on Grande Prairie, not your device location.
2. How we use it
To provide and improve the Site, display your listing, process subscriptions, moderate content, send the newsletter you requested, respond to enquiries, prevent abuse, and comply with law.
3. Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share only with service providers that help run the Site — for example Stripe (payments), our hosting provider, and Google (if the Places directory feature is used). Business and listing details you submit are shown publicly by design.
4. Cookies
We use minimal cookies for login sessions and basic functionality. You can control cookies in your browser; disabling them may limit some features.
5. Data retention
We keep information while your account or listing is active and as needed for legal and operational purposes. Classifieds and sold/expired listings are removed automatically over time.
6. Your rights
You may access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Use 📩 our contact form to make a request.
7. Security
We use reasonable safeguards including hashed passwords and secure payment processing. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data.
8. Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
9. Changes
We may update this policy; the "last updated" date will change accordingly.
