Welcome to HeadsUp Winnipeg. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and protected when you subscribe to our newsletter and interact with our website. We are fully committed to respecting your privacy and complying with Canadian privacy laws, including PIPEDA and CASL. Pete acts as the designated Privacy Officer overseeing these practices to ensure your data is handled responsibly.
We believe in data minimization, which means we only ask for the information we actually need. When you sign up to receive our weekly grocery reports and community insights, we collect your email address and, optionally, your name. This information is collected solely for the identified purpose of delivering the HeadsUp Winnipeg and HeadsUp Local newsletters directly to your inbox. We do not engage in electronic address harvesting or gather extra background details about our readers.
By actively entering your email address and subscribing to our service, you are providing express consent to receive our communications under CASL. This express consent remains valid until you decide to withdraw it. You maintain complete control over your subscription and data. You can update your email preferences, change your subscription tier, or completely remove yourself from our mailing list at any time by clicking the specific links provided at the bottom of every single email we send.
Your trust is critical to our community, and we will never sell, barter, or lease your personal information to third parties, marketers, or local businesses. We operate our publication using the Beehiiv platform, which acts as our trusted service provider to securely process and store your subscription data. We rely on their robust technical safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure.
Under Canadian law, you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to ask for corrections if anything is inaccurate. You also have the right to challenge our compliance with these privacy principles. If you have any questions about this policy, need to update your information, or wish to discuss how your data is handled, please reply directly to any of our newsletter emails to get in touch.
