Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your information

Last Updated: October 20, 2026

Introduction

613today ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at 613today.ca.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Automatically Collected Information: When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including your web browser type, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device.
  • Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with our website, such as pages viewed, time spent on pages, and navigation patterns.
  • Cookies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and remember your preferences.

Advertising Enquiries and Bookings

If you enquire about advertising, we use the contact name, email address, business name, requested dates, destination link, and materials you choose to provide to review your request and communicate with you. Please do not include sensitive personal information that we do not need. An enquiry form that opens your email application prepares a draft; you decide whether to send it through your email provider. Opening a draft does not itself send an enquiry to us.

If you request a local nonprofit rate, we also use the organisation name, official website or public profile, any optional registration number, and local activity links you provide to review discount eligibility and prepare a quote. Please provide public organisation information rather than sensitive personal documents.

If a booking proceeds, we keep the agreed schedule and price, approved materials and destination, policy version and acceptance record, communications, and payment or refund references. We use these to deliver the service, prevent conflicting bookings, answer questions, resolve disputes, and maintain accounting and other required records. Public availability information shows dates and reservation status, not your contact details or billing information.

Stripe processes advertising payments through its hosted payment pages. We may receive transaction status, contact or billing details, and payment or refund references needed to administer a booking; Stripe handles the payment credentials entered on its pages. Do not send card numbers or security codes to us by email. See Stripe's Privacy Policy for its handling of payment information.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate and maintain our website
  • Improve user experience and website functionality
  • Analyze website traffic and usage patterns
  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Respond to enquiries and manage advertising bookings, changes, refunds, and disputes
  • Send requested service communications and, where permitted or consented to, updates

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. We use cookies to:

  • Remember your preferences (such as theme selection and bookmarked events)
  • Analyze site traffic and user behavior
  • Provide relevant content recommendations
  • Improve website functionality and user experience

You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website and limit your access to certain features.

Information Sharing and Third-Party Services

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who assist in operating our website and email communications
  • Stripe and payment service providers to process payments, refunds, and payment disputes
  • Analytics providers to help us understand website usage
  • Law enforcement when required by law or to protect our rights

Providers may process information outside Canada, where it can be subject to local law. We use information relevant to the service being provided rather than publishing private booking correspondence. Advertisers do not receive visitors' individual contact information through standard campaign reports. Advertiser tracking beyond our standard site analytics requires separate review and any required consent.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain collected information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete such information.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of your information
  • Opt out of communications
  • Disable cookies through your browser settings

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact section below.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.

Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at:

Your choices

Contact us with questions about how your information is used or to make a privacy request. Where consent is required, we seek it for the relevant purpose; publishing this policy does not replace that consent. Withdrawing consent may affect a service that needs that information, and we may still retain records required by law.
