Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

The organization accountable for the personal information collected on this website is Lakeshore Ledger, 214 Algoma Street South, Unit 3, Thunder Bay, ON P7B 2L4, Canada. You can reach us by email at editor@nelixra.net or by phone at (807) 334-3841. The policy covers the pages published under nelixra.net and the inquiries we receive through them.

Security of processing

Suitable technical and organizational measures guard the information we hold against unauthorized access, alteration and accidental loss. Where the browser allows it, what you send through the site travels in encrypted form.

No transfer of data over the internet can be made entirely safe, so a residual risk remains. Inside Lakeshore Ledger, messages are read only by the people who deal with them.

Your rights and how to use them

You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to ask for it to be corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete. You may withdraw your consent to its use at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.

You can use your rights by writing to editor@nelixra.net. Before we answer, we may ask for a detail that confirms your identity, so that data is not disclosed to the wrong person; the answer follows within the period the law provides and costs you nothing.

Besides contacting us, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, or to the privacy commissioner of your province where provincial law applies.

Service providers and transfers abroad

We do not sell personal data. It is shared only with the providers who host this website and handle our email, acting on our instructions under a written contract, and with authorities where the law obliges us.

If a provider operates servers or support staff abroad, data may leave the country in which we are established. We work only with providers who commit to the level of protection that the applicable law requires for such transfers.

Cookies and browser storage

This website uses only technically necessary storage. We do not set advertising cookies, and no analytics service records how you move through our pages or links your visit to other websites.

You can see which entries this website has stored, delete them and refuse new ones at any time in the settings of your browser. Blocking storage that the pages need may mean that parts of the site no longer work.

Purposes and consent

We process data to make the website available, to answer inquiries, to prepare or perform contracts, to keep our business records in order and to protect the site against misuse and technical faults.

Your consent is the basis of what we do with personal information: it may be express, or implied when you send us a message and expect an answer. We use information for a new purpose only after asking you, except where the law allows or requires it. Providing information is voluntary, but an inquiry without contact details cannot be answered.

Retention

Data is stored for the period the purpose requires. Once the purpose no longer applies and no legal duty stands in the way, we delete the data or keep it in a form that no longer identifies anyone.

Technical log entries disappear automatically after a short time. Correspondence is kept while it may still be needed, and records that tax or commercial rules require us to keep are held for the period those rules set.

Data processed on this website

Every page request is recorded on the server together with the address of the requesting device, the time, the file opened and the browser used. This information is needed to deliver the page and to detect faults or misuse.

When you send us a message, we keep what you give us, such as your name, the address for our reply, a telephone number if you add one and the text itself, for as long as the matter you wrote about is being dealt with.

Changes to this policy

This policy is revised when our processing or the applicable rules change. The current text is always available here, and the date at the top of the page shows when it was last amended.

The text on this page replaces earlier versions, and no separate announcement is sent when it changes. If an amendment affects processing that is based on your consent, we obtain new consent before relying on it.
