Privacy Policy

Personal Information. We do not collect personally identifiable information unless it is voluntarily provided — for example, through our contact form or newsletter subscription. Any personal information shared is used strictly to respond to inquiries, send community updates, or communicate event information.

Non-Personal Information. Our hosting provider and analytics tools may collect non-identifying data such as browser types, referring pages, and general usage patterns. This information is aggregated and used for statistical purposes to improve performance and user experience. None of this data is linked to an individual.

We use Plausible Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Plausible is a privacy-first, open-source analytics platform. It does not use cookies, does not track visitors across sites, and does not collect any personally identifiable information.

The data we receive from Plausible is fully aggregated — we can see that 100 people visited a page, but we cannot identify who those people are. No data is shared with advertising networks or data brokers.

You can learn more about Plausible’s data practices at plausible.io/data-policy.

By using this website or voluntarily submitting information through forms, you consent to the collection and use of your data as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Upon withdrawal, we will delete or anonymize your personal information where possible, unless retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as recordkeeping or dispute resolution.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal or non-personal information to third parties. Information may only be disclosed where required by law, regulation, or to comply with a lawful request from authorities.

Our website integrates with several third-party platforms to deliver our services:

• Eventbrite — Event registration. When you register for a CMBPA event through Eventbrite, your information is handled according to Eventbrite’s Privacy Policy.
• Instagram — We display our Instagram posts on this website. Viewing these posts does not require a login and no Instagram tracking pixels are loaded on our site.
• Plausible Analytics — Cookie-free, privacy-friendly analytics. See the Analytics section above.

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or removal of any personal data you have shared with CMBPA. We will respond to all such requests in a timely manner. To exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected].

We do not use cookies on this website for tracking or advertising purposes. Plausible Analytics operates without cookies. Our contact form may use a session cookie strictly to process your submission — no data from this cookie is stored beyond the session.

CMBPA takes security seriously and applies industry-standard safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or alteration:

• Encryption in Transit — All data between your browser and our website is protected with SSL/TLS encryption.
• Access Controls — Access to systems is limited to authorized personnel.
• Monitoring — We maintain security controls to detect and prevent unauthorized activity.

While no system is completely immune to threats, CMBPA employs a defense-in-depth approach consistent with industry best practices.

Our website is hosted in Canada. We do not intentionally transfer or process personal information outside of Canada through our website. Analytics data collected via Plausible is processed on self-hosted infrastructure and remains within Canada.
