Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information (“Information”) by TNAADO Inc. (“TNAADO”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) when you read this website, write to us, or otherwise interact with our publications (“you”).

It applies to information shared through this website, our digital communications, and the third-party platforms we use to run the site. TNAADO complies with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), applicable provincial privacy statutes, and equivalent international data-protection regimes.

We collect and process the following categories of Information:

2.1 Personal Information

Full name, email, telephone number, and any details you choose to include in a message to us.

2.2 Sensitive Information

We do not ask for sensitive information through this website. If you send us sensitive material — as a source or otherwise — we handle it with care and disclose it only as described in this Policy.

2.3 Technical Information

IP address, browser type, device identifier, session logs, and cookies collected during use of our website.

2.4 Communication Data

The content of email correspondence, recorded calls (with notice and consent), and information voluntarily submitted through contact forms.

We collect and process Information for the following purposes:

• To answer messages sent through this website;
• To consider story tips, pitches, applications, and partnership requests;
• To operate, secure, and improve the website;
• To measure readership at an aggregate level;
• To comply with legal, regulatory, tax, or contractual obligations.

By submitting information through this website or corresponding with us, you consent to the collection, use, and storage of your data in accordance with this Policy.

Where an interview or call is to be recorded, you will be told in advance and may decline. If you decline, we do not record.

TNAADO uses encrypted, secured infrastructure. Transmissions occur over HTTPS with current TLS protocols. Internally, we enforce strict access controls and review our systems for vulnerabilities. Personnel receive ongoing training in cybersecurity and data-protection practice.

Despite these measures, no transmission method over the internet is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and we recommend that you avoid submitting sensitive documents over unsecured or public networks.

We do not sell or rent your data. We share Information only in the following circumstances:

• With service providers bound by confidentiality obligations, for storage, communications, analytics, and security;
• To comply with legal obligations such as subpoenas, regulatory requests, or court orders;
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or transfer of all or part of our business, with notice where reasonably practicable.

We retain Information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to satisfy our legal, tax, regulatory, or accounting obligations. Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, confidential records are securely destroyed.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or request the deletion of your personal data;
• Withdraw consent to processing where consent is the legal basis;
• Receive a copy of the data we hold in a portable format;
• File a complaint with a relevant privacy authority, including the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

This website uses cookies to track aggregate use, improve performance, and enable certain functions. We use Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel to understand site behaviour at an aggregate level. You may opt out of personalized advertising at ads.google.com/settings or, in Canada, at youradchoices.ca. You may also disable cookies through your browser settings; some site functionality may be reduced.

Our website may link to external sites operated by third parties. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content; their policies will govern any information you provide to them.

Where data is transferred outside Canada (for example, for cloud storage with reputable providers), we apply contractual and organizational safeguards intended to provide a comparable level of protection.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with the effective date noted at the top.
