What we collect
Nothing, unless you email us. Browsing requires no account and sets no tracking cookies. There is no advertising network here and no third-party analytics.
If you email us — to submit an event, list a deal, advertise, or report a correction — we receive whatever you put in that email. We use it only to action your request or reply to you.
What we do not do
- We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
- We do not fingerprint your browser or build behavioural profiles.
- We do not track you across other websites.
- We do not sell, rent or trade your information. Ever.
- We never ask for financial details, payment information or government ID numbers. If anything claiming to be HFX.today asks you for these, it is not us.
Live data on this site
Some pages show live public information — weather, news headlines, transit data. To display it, your browser fetches directly from those public sources (for example Environment Canada weather models, or a publisher's public RSS feed). Those requests go from your browser to them; we are not in the middle recording it.
External links
This site links out heavily — to news publishers, employers, landlords, event organisers and government sites. Once you click through, you are on their site and their privacy policy applies, not ours.
Hosting
This site is hosted on Netlify. Like every web host, their servers keep standard technical logs (such as IP address and request time) for security and operations. That is infrastructure-level logging we do not read, analyse or use.
Children
This is a general-audience local information site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Under Canadian privacy law you may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Because we collect so little, that is usually a very short conversation. Email us and we will action it.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, the date at the top changes. We will not quietly start collecting more than we do today.
