At Gather Media, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have.
Gather Media collects minimal personal data. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. If you submit a story or contact us via email, we collect the information you voluntarily provide. We do not collect data passively beyond standard web analytics.
Your email address is used solely to send you our newsletter and occasional editorial updates. Story submissions are used only for editorial purposes and are published anonymously unless you explicitly give permission to use your name. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Our website may use basic analytics tools to understand how readers engage with our content — such as which articles are most read and how visitors navigate the site. No personally identifiable information is collected through these tools. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.
We may display advertisements from third-party partners on our website. These partners may use their own cookies to serve relevant ads. We do not control their data collection practices and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies. Gather Media does not share your personal data with advertisers.
Any data we collect is stored securely and retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. We take reasonable measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction.
You have the right to unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link provided in every email. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, email stories@gathermedia.ca.
Gather Media does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If you have questions about this privacy policy or how your data is handled, please contact us at stories@gathermedia.ca.
