Waterloo Business Review ("WBR", "we", "us", or "our") is a student-run online publication operated by students at the University of Waterloo. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit waterloobusinessreview.org (the "site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information you give us. When you contact us, subscribe to updates, or submit a question or article through the site, we may collect the information you choose to provide — such as your name and email address.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit, such as your browser type, device and operating system, referring pages, and general usage data. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
We use the information we collect to operate and maintain the site, respond to your inquiries, send updates you have requested, understand how readers use our content, and improve our publication. We do not sell your personal information.
We may use cookies and third-party analytics tools to understand site traffic and reader engagement in aggregate. Most web browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings; doing so may affect how some parts of the site function.
The site may use third-party services (for example, analytics, embedded maps, or social media links) and may contain links to external websites that we do not control. This policy does not apply to those third parties, and we encourage you to review their own privacy policies.
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information only with service providers who help us operate the site, when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of WBR and others.
We retain personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy. We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect; however, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
You may unsubscribe from any updates at any time using the link provided in those messages, and you may request that we access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you by contacting us. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, you can reach us at waterloobusinessreview@gmail.com or through our contact page.
