4. Consent

By providing personal information to us or using features of the site that require such information, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of that information as described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law.

You may withdraw your consent to certain uses of your personal information, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. To do so, contact us using the contact details listed above. Withdrawing consent may limit our ability to provide certain features or respond to your request.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

SnowPredictor.ca may use cookies, local storage, pixels, scripts, or similar technologies to support core site functionality, remember preferences, analyze traffic, improve performance, and maintain site security.

Some cookies may be necessary for the site to function properly. Others may be optional, depending on the tools active on the site. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

6. Third-Party Service Providers and Disclosures

We may share personal information with third-party service providers that help us operate the site or provide related services, such as website hosting, analytics, site security, spam prevention, email handling, technical support, or content delivery.

We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information where required or permitted by law, including to comply with legal process, enforce our rights, protect the site, or respond to security or fraud-related concerns.

If we use third-party processors, we expect them to handle personal information on our behalf and to protect it using appropriate safeguards.

7. International or Cross-Border Processing

Some of our service providers may process or store information outside your province or outside Canada. When that happens, personal information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where it is processed or stored. We use reasonable measures to require appropriate protection for information handled on our behalf.

8. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to meet legal, regulatory, tax, dispute-resolution, or enforcement requirements, and to maintain appropriate business records.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected. When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we will delete it, anonymize it, or securely destroy it, subject to applicable legal requirements.

9. Safeguards

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are reasonable for the sensitivity of the information to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, use, disclosure, copying, modification, or destruction.

No method of transmission over the Internet or method of storage is completely secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Accuracy

We aim to keep personal information as accurate, complete, and up to date as necessary for the purposes for which it is used. If you believe information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, please contact us.

11. Your Rights: Access, Correction, and Withdrawal

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information we hold about you and ask that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information. You may also request information about how your personal information has been used or disclosed.

SnowPredictor.ca is a general-audience website. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children in a manner that requires parental consent under applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, contact us so we can review and address the issue.

The site may contain links to third-party websites or embedded content operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information to them.
