What we collect
When you subscribe, we ask for your first name, last name, organization, and email address. That's the only personal information we ask for, and we only get it because you typed it in.
Like most websites, our infrastructure also processes standard technical data (IP address, browser type) to serve pages and block abuse.
Why we collect it
- To send you the weekly Northern Signal briefing and occasional announcements about new Atlas dossiers.
- To verify you're a human, using Cloudflare Turnstile, before accepting your signup.
- To measure whether our advertising works: if you arrive from an ad, we may record the ad platform's click identifier and campaign name in aggregate analytics, and our homepage may include ad measurement pixels.
Where your information lives
- Cloudflare hosts this site and stores subscriber records in our database. Cloudflare also operates the Turnstile bot check and our aggregate analytics.
- Brevo is our email service provider. Your contact details are synced to Brevo so we can deliver the newsletter, and unsubscribe handling happens there.
These providers may process data on servers outside Canada. We don't sell, rent, or trade your personal information — to anyone, ever.
Cookies
We don't set tracking cookies of our own. Cloudflare Turnstile may set a cookie strictly to perform its security check.
How long we keep it
For as long as you're subscribed. Unsubscribe (there's a link in every email) and we stop mailing you; ask us to delete your record entirely and we will.
Your rights
Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), you can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or withdraw your consent at any time. Email welcome @ northernsignal . ca and we'll respond promptly.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your information, we'll update this page and note the new effective date above. Material changes will be mentioned in the newsletter.
