Who We Are and Our Role as Data Controller

dailypulsepo.com operates this non-commercial informational website dedicated to travel stories told through photography, people and memorable places. As the operator based in Canada, dailypulsepo.com acts as the data controller for any personal information collected through the site. We determine the purposes and means of processing personal data in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation.

Scope of This Notice

This privacy policy applies to all visitors to the website, including individuals located in Canada and elsewhere who access our content. It covers personal information collected when you use the contact form on our Contacts page, interact with the site-wide cookie banner, or otherwise provide information while browsing. The policy does not apply to third-party websites linked from our pages, as we have no control over their practices.

Categories of Personal Data and Sources

We collect limited categories of personal data primarily from you directly. These include contact details such as your name and any message content submitted through the contact form, as well as technical information like browser type, device identifiers, and IP address obtained automatically through server logs. The cookie banner may result in collection of consent preferences. No data is sourced from third parties or public records in the ordinary course of operating this informational site.

Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases

Personal data is processed for the following purposes. Responding to inquiries submitted via the contact form relies on your consent or our legitimate interest in providing information about our travel photography content. Managing cookie preferences is based on compliance with legal obligations under Canadian e-commerce and privacy rules. Maintaining site security and functionality uses our legitimate interest in preventing misuse. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary, and we do not process data for unrelated commercial marketing.

Whether Providing Data Is Required

Providing personal data through the contact form is entirely voluntary. You are not required to submit any information to access the travel stories, photography, or place descriptions on the site. If you choose not to provide contact details, we simply cannot respond to your specific inquiry, but all other content remains freely available without restriction.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies solely to remember your cookie consent preferences and to support basic site functionality. Detailed information about the types of cookies employed, their duration, and your options for managing them appears in the separate Cookie Policy referenced by the site-wide cookie banner. We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or cross-site tracking.

Processors, Recipients and Legal Disclosures

We may share personal data with trusted service providers that act as processors, such as hosting providers and form submission handlers, under contractual safeguards that limit their use of the data. Categories of recipients include infrastructure service providers located in Canada. We disclose information only when required by law, such as in response to valid legal requests from Canadian authorities, or to protect our rights and the safety of visitors.

International Transfers

Most processing occurs within Canada. In limited cases where data is transferred outside Canada, for example to cloud infrastructure providers, we rely on appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses and the requirement that recipients provide a comparable level of protection under PIPEDA. You may request further details about specific transfers by contacting us through the methods described below.

Retention Periods

Contact form submissions are retained only for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward to address follow-up questions, typically no longer than two years. Server logs containing technical data are kept for security and analytics purposes for up to one year. Consent records related to the cookie banner are retained for the duration required by applicable law. Data is deleted or anonymized once the retention period expires.

Security and Data Minimisation

We implement reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the limited scale of data collected on this non-commercial site. Measures include access controls, encryption in transit, and regular review of collected data to ensure only necessary information is retained. While we strive to protect personal information, no system can guarantee absolute security, and users should also take precautions when submitting data online.

Your Data Subject Rights

Under PIPEDA and applicable Canadian laws, you have the right to access personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, and ask for deletion where appropriate. You may also withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, please use the contact form on our Contacts page or call 604-379-0308. We will respond within the timelines required by law.

Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Marketing

Because this is a non-commercial informational website, we do not engage in direct marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making. If you have previously provided consent for any optional processing, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. Objection rights are not applicable given the absence of marketing activities.

Right to Complain to the Supervisory Authority

If you believe your privacy rights have been infringed, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the relevant provincial privacy commissioner. Contact details for these authorities are available on their official websites. We encourage you to contact us first at 604-379-0308 or via the contact form so we may address your concerns directly.

Children and Age Restrictions

The website content focuses on travel photography and stories suitable for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of thirteen. If we become aware that personal information from a child under thirteen has been submitted without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided data may contact us using the details on the Contacts page.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects. All decisions regarding data processing are made with human oversight, consistent with the limited and non-commercial nature of the site.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or site features. The effective date of any revision will be noted at the top of the page. Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. Previous versions are not archived on the site but may be requested by contacting us.
