Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Timberline Chronicle collects minimal personal information necessary to provide a smooth and engaging reading experience. This may include your name, email address, and browser data when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us through our forms. We also gather non-identifiable usage statistics such as page visits and referral sources to better understand our audience’s interests and improve site performance.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to deliver requested services, respond to inquiries, and personalize user experience. We may also use aggregated data to analyze readership trends, enhance content relevance, and improve technical performance. Your personal information will never be sold, traded, or shared with third parties except when required by law or with your explicit consent.

Data Protection & Security

We take data protection seriously and employ industry-standard security measures to safeguard your personal information. Access to collected data is restricted to authorized personnel only, and our systems are routinely monitored to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse. However, no online transmission is completely secure, and users should exercise caution when sharing personal data online.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

Timberline Chronicle may use trusted third-party services such as analytics providers or email subscription platforms to enhance website functionality. These partners are carefully selected and bound by confidentiality agreements to ensure compliance with privacy laws. We do not authorize these entities to use or disclose personal information for purposes other than those agreed upon.

Your Rights & Choices

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information stored by Timberline Chronicle. Users may opt out of newsletters or data collection tools such as cookies through browser settings at any time. We respect your privacy preferences and aim to respond to requests within reasonable timeframes under Canadian data protection laws.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal obligations. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized to prevent identification. Our retention policies are reviewed periodically to ensure alignment with best practices in data management and privacy compliance.
