Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Canada Education collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information in the course of operating an informational website about the Canadian education system. The policy describes types of information collected when users visit pages, submit the contact form, or interact with site features. It also explains cookies and similar technologies, security practices, retention periods, and the rights of individuals in Canada. The policy applies to informational material published at this domain and to communications initiated through the site. For questions about this policy or to exercise your privacy rights, contact the office details shown in the footer or the contact page.

Information We Collect

When visitors access the site, the server automatically collects technical information necessary for operation, including IP address, browser type, device type, and pages viewed. These technical records are used for site performance, security, and analytics. When a user voluntarily submits the contact form, the site collects the provided name, email, phone number, region, and message text. Form submissions are used solely to respond to factual inquiries and to maintain a record of content-related communications. The site does not collect sensitive personal information such as financial account data or government-issued identifiers. Any optional fields presented on forms are clearly labeled, and required fields are identified in the form interface. The collection practices conform to applicable Canadian privacy expectations and to the principle of data minimization.

How We Use Information

Technical and usage information is used to maintain site availability, to diagnose and prevent security incidents, and to improve site design and content relevance. Contact form data is used to review content accuracy, to respond to factual questions, and to send clarifying information when appropriate. Aggregated and anonymized analytics may be used to understand general site trends and to improve navigation and readability. Personal data submitted through the contact form will not be sold or disclosed for unrelated commercial purposes. The basis for processing contact form submissions is the legitimate interest in responding to content inquiries and maintaining accurate public information. Where required by law or regulatory obligation, we may retain or disclose records in response to lawful requests from public authorities.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site uses cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions and for performance analytics. Functional cookies enable core navigation and accessibility features. Performance cookies, which are optional until accepted, collect anonymous metrics about page usage and load performance. Users are presented with a non-intrusive cookie preference control in the bottom-right corner of the site. The control allows acceptance or rejection of non-essential cookies; the site stores the chosen preference locally in the browser. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent access to the majority of the content, but it may reduce the availability of aggregated analytics used to improve the site. The cookie policy and controls are implemented to respect user preference and browser settings. For more information about specific tracking services used for analytics, consult this page and contact us via the contact page.

Data Retention and Security

Contact form submissions and related correspondence are retained for a reasonable period to allow for follow-up and to maintain a record of content corrections and updates. Technical logs used for security and performance are retained in aggregated or pseudonymized form for a limited period and then removed. The organization has implemented administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. These safeguards include secure hosting, encrypted transport using HTTPS, access controls, and periodic reviews of security settings. No system is completely immune to risk; where a breach affecting personal information is discovered, appropriate measures consistent with legal obligations will be taken, including notification to affected individuals and authorities when required by applicable law.

Your Rights and Choices

If you are located in Canada, you have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to access personal data held about you, to request correction of inaccuracies, and to withdraw consent for non-essential processing where consent was provided. To request access or correction, use the contact details below or the contact page form and clearly describe the information you seek. The site will respond to verifiable requests within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law. You may also set browser preferences to limit cookies, and you can use the cookie preferences control on the site to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive may be subject to reasonable fees or limitations to protect privacy and security obligations.

Third Parties and External Links

The site may use third-party services to provide hosting, analytics, and security. Third parties are engaged under agreements that require them to process personal information only on our instructions and to maintain confidentiality and appropriate security measures. Where the site links to external resources or references other organizations, those links lead away from this domain; users should consult the privacy policies of any external site for information about their data practices. This site does not embed social network widgets that automatically transmit personal data to third-party social platforms. If specific third-party services used for analytics are changed, the site will update this policy to reflect the current practices.

Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
