We use Umami for website analytics, which is cookie-free and does not collect any personally identifiable information. We track page interactions such as calculator usage, tab selections, and sorting preferences to understand feature usage. No personal data is included in these analytics events.

3. Purpose of Collection

We collect personal information solely for the purposes identified at or before the time of collection:

  • Email: to send product launch notifications and updates you requested
  • IP address: to prevent abuse through rate limiting

We obtain your consent through a double opt-in process. When you submit your email, we send a confirmation email. Your subscription is only activated after you click the confirmation link, providing meaningful and explicit consent.

5. Limiting Collection

We only collect information that is necessary for the identified purposes. We do not collect names, phone numbers, physical addresses, or any other personal data beyond what is listed above.

6. Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention

Your personal information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than:

  • Sending the notifications you subscribed to

IP addresses are automatically deleted after 30 days. Email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe.

7. Accuracy

We keep your information as accurate as necessary for the purposes for which it is used. You may update your email preferences at any time through the unsubscribe link in our emails.

8. Safeguards

We protect your information with measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data:

  • Data is stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL) with row-level security enabled

9. Third Parties

We share personal information with the following service providers:

  • Resend (email delivery): receives your email address to deliver notifications on our behalf

These providers are bound by their own privacy commitments and only process data as directed by us.

10. Openness

This privacy policy is publicly available at northy.ca/privacy. We will update this policy as our practices change and notify subscribers of material changes via email.
