Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This Privacy Policy explains how Zarvaxenjlox ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, shares, and safeguards information when you visit our website, contact our editorial team, or request one of the resources offered through this site. We have written this document in plain language because we believe privacy notices should be readable, not decorative.

1. Who we are

Zarvaxenjlox is a small editorial project based at 100 Constellation Dr, Ottawa, ON K2G 6J8, Canada. We publish independent guides about building consistent water-drinking habits. We are the data controller for the personal information collected through this website. You can reach us at the email handle notify-us@zarvaxenjlox.world or by post at the address above.

2. The information we collect

2.1 Information you give us directly

When you fill out the contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you choose to share with us, along with the timestamp of submission and confirmation that you accepted this Privacy Policy. If you contact us by phone, we may write down a brief summary of the call so we can follow up.

2.2 Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider records anonymised technical signals such as approximate region, browser family, operating system, the referring page, and the pages you viewed. This information helps us understand which guides are useful and where the site can be improved. It is not linked to your name or email.

2.3 Cookies and similar storage

We use a small amount of local browser storage to remember your acceptance of this notice and to keep you from seeing the cookie banner repeatedly. We do not currently use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies on this website. If that ever changes, we will update this section before the change takes effect and request your consent again.

3. Why we use your information

We use the information you share with us to: respond to your messages and questions; send invoices for resources you request; comply with applicable legal obligations in Canada; improve the structure, readability, and accuracy of our guides; and protect our website from spam, abuse, or unauthorised access. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with advertisers.

4. Legal grounds for processing

Where your interaction with us is governed by Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), we rely on the consent you provide when submitting the contact form, on the necessity of fulfilling a request you have made, and on our legitimate interest in keeping the website operational and secure. If you are visiting from a jurisdiction with comparable rules, equivalent legal grounds apply.

5. How long we keep information

Contact form messages are kept for up to twenty-four months from the date of your last interaction with us, after which they are deleted from our inbox archive. Invoicing records are retained for the period required by Canadian tax legislation. Anonymised analytics signals are kept for up to fourteen months and are aggregated thereafter.

6. Sharing with service providers

We rely on a small number of trusted service providers to operate the website, send and receive email, and process payments for resources. These providers are bound by contractual confidentiality obligations and may only process your information on our instructions. A current list is available on request.

7. International transfers

Some of our service providers store data outside Canada. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that comparable protections apply, including standard contractual clauses and provider-level certifications.

8. Your rights

You have the right to ask us what personal information we hold about you, to request a correction, to ask us to delete it, to withdraw your consent at any time, and to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or your local data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, simply write to us using the contact details above and we will respond within thirty days.

9. How we protect information

The website is delivered over HTTPS. Access to our inbox and invoicing tools is protected by strong, unique passwords and multi-factor authentication. Devices used by editorial staff are encrypted at rest. We review these measures at least once a year.

10. Children

The website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of fourteen. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.

11. Updates to this policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in how we work or in applicable law. The date at the top of this page will indicate the version in force. Material changes will be highlighted on the home page for a reasonable period.
