Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 29, 2026.

Identity and Role of the Data Controller

glitnewsnu.com operates this website as the data controller under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) of Canada. We determine the purposes and means of processing personal information collected through the site.

Scope of This Notice

This privacy policy applies to all visitors to the website regardless of their location when they access content related to travel stories told through photography, people and memorable places. It covers interactions with the contact form and cookie banner but does not extend to any third-party sites linked from these pages.

Categories of Personal Data and Sources

We collect only the minimal information necessary for site operation. This includes data submitted voluntarily through the contact form such as name and message content, as well as technical data like IP address and browser type obtained automatically when pages are loaded. No data is gathered from external sources or third parties.

Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases

Processing occurs for the following purposes: responding to inquiries submitted via the contact form on the legal basis of legitimate interest; maintaining site functionality through cookies on the basis of consent; and complying with Canadian legal obligations where required. Each purpose is limited to what is strictly needed.

Requirement to Provide Data and Consequences

Providing information through the contact form is entirely optional. If you choose not to supply details, we simply cannot respond to your message. Technical data is collected automatically but you may limit it by adjusting browser settings or using the cookie banner to refuse non-essential cookies.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site uses cookies and similar technologies solely for essential functions and analytics as described in the separate Cookie Policy. The cookie banner allows you to manage preferences at any time. Refer to that policy for full details on types and durations.

Processors, Recipients and Legal Disclosures

We engage service providers such as hosting companies and form-processing platforms that act as processors under strict contractual terms. Personal information is disclosed only when required by law, such as in response to valid court orders or regulatory requests from Canadian authorities.

International Transfers and Safeguards

Any transfer of data outside Canada occurs only to jurisdictions with adequate protection or under appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses approved for Canadian use. We assess recipient countries on a case-by-case basis to maintain equivalent protection levels.

Retention Periods and Criteria

Contact form data is retained for no longer than two years after the last interaction unless a longer period is needed to resolve a specific matter. Technical logs are kept for twelve months. Retention decisions balance operational needs against data minimisation principles under PIPEDA.

Security and Data Minimisation Practices

Reasonable technical and organisational measures protect information against unauthorised access, including encryption in transit and access controls. We apply data minimisation by collecting only what is necessary and regularly reviewing stored records for deletion.

Data Subject Rights and Exercise Methods

Under PIPEDA you have rights to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal information. To exercise these rights contact us using the details on the Contacts page or the form provided there. We respond to verified requests within thirty days.

Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Marketing

Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by adjusting cookie preferences or notifying us through the contact form. The site does not engage in direct marketing or profiling activities.

Right to Complain to the Supervisory Authority

If you believe your rights have been infringed you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Contact information for the Commissioner is available on their official website.

Children and Age Restrictions

The website is intended for a general adult audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of thirteen. If we become aware of such collection we will delete the data promptly.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

No automated decision-making or profiling occurs on this site. All processing involves human review where personal information is involved.

Policy Changes and Effective Date

We may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes. The current version is effective from September 29, 2026. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. For questions about this policy please use the contact form on the Contacts page or call 604-379-0308 or write to 1341 Cammeray Rd, West Vancouver, BC V7S 2N2, Canada.
