1. Who We Are
CedarFalls Entertainment operates the website at this domain. We are a small Canadian studio based in Toronto, Ontario. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you use CedarFalls, how we use it, and what rights you have under applicable Canadian privacy law — principally the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Ontario's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, and where applicable, the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for visitors from EEA countries.
2. What We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Web server logs: Your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, page visited, and timestamp. These are collected automatically by our hosting provider each time you access a page. Retention: 30 days in raw log form; after that, aggregated and anonymised indefinitely.
- Analytics data (if you consented): Page views, session duration, entry/exit pages, device category, approximate geographic region (country/province level). This data is aggregated and cannot identify you individually. Provider: we use privacy-respecting analytics tools that do not fingerprint users. Retention: 14 months, then purged.
- Browser storage: We use cookies and localStorage to remember your age-gate confirmation and cookie-consent choice. See our Cookie Info page for a full inventory. These are device-local — they do not leave your browser unless you share your device.
- Contact emails: If you email us at [email protected], we receive your email address, name (if provided), and message content. We do not add you to any mailing list. Retention: we keep correspondence for up to 24 months, then delete.
3. What We Do NOT Collect
CedarFalls does not collect payment data of any kind — there are no financial transactions on this platform. We do not collect government identification numbers, social insurance numbers, or health information. We do not collect precise geolocation data (only province-level approximation from analytics, if consented). We do not collect biometric data or create facial recognition profiles. We do not build advertising profiles or sell personal information to third parties.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information for the following purposes only:
- To operate and maintain the CedarFalls website and ensure its technical availability;
- To detect and prevent abuse, spam, or automated attacks;
- To understand aggregated usage patterns so we can improve the platform experience;
- To respond to your direct enquiries or support requests;
- To comply with applicable law, including responding to lawful requests from Canadian authorities.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal effects, profiling, or targeted advertising. We do not share your information with advertisers.
5. Third-Party Processors
We engage a limited number of trusted third-party providers who may process your data on our behalf, each bound by a Data Processing Agreement:
- Hosting provider: Our web host processes server logs. We choose providers with Canadian or EU data centres where possible.
- Analytics: If you consent to analytics cookies, an analytics provider processes anonymised visit data. We do not use Google Analytics without explicit consent.
- Google Fonts: We load fonts from fonts.googleapis.com. Google may log the request IP. We have enabled the font-display parameter to reduce unnecessary requests.
We do not share personal information with any other third parties, including data brokers, social media platforms, or real-money gaming operators.
6. Cookies and localStorage
We use cookies and browser localStorage to remember your preferences across pages. A full inventory of cookies — including names, purposes, and retention periods — is available on our Cookie Info page. You can withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the page footer.
7. Data Retention Windows
Raw server logs: 30 days. Aggregated analytics: 14 months. Consent cookies: 180 days (set in your browser). Contact correspondence: 24 months. After each window, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
8. Your Rights Under PIPEDA and Applicable Law
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Withdrawal of consent: You may withdraw consent to analytics data collection at any time via the cookie settings.
- Erasure (GDPR Article 17): If you are an EEA resident, you may request deletion of personal data we hold about you, subject to legal retention obligations.
- Complaint: You may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) if you believe we have mishandled your information.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. Identity verification may be required before we can fulfill access or erasure requests.
9. Security Posture
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. These include HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, access controls on server infrastructure, and regular security reviews. No system is perfectly secure; we will notify affected users and the OPC promptly in the event of a breach that poses real risk of significant harm.
10. International Transfers
Our primary operations are in Canada. If we engage a processor located outside Canada, we ensure that adequate data protection measures are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses for EEA transfers or equivalent safeguards under PIPEDA's Schedule 1 principle 4.1.3.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be announced on the CedarFalls homepage with at least 14 days' notice before they take effect. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of CedarFalls after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
