2. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through the Website and through any related forms, inquiries, or communications you initiate from the Website. It does not apply to:
- the Tribe26 mobile applications or the tribe26.app website (governed by the Tribe26 Privacy Policy);
- information collected by third-party websites or services that may be linked to or integrated with the Website;
- information that has been anonymized or aggregated such that it cannot reasonably be associated with an identified individual.
3. Personal Information We Collect
3.1 Information You Provide
When you submit forms, send inquiries, or otherwise interact with the Website, we may collect:
- your name, professional title, and the organization you represent;
- your email address, phone number, and mailing address;
- the content of your message, inquiry, or application (including any attachments);
- any other information you choose to provide to us.
3.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you access the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect:
- device and browser information (e.g., browser type, operating system, language);
- IP address and approximate geographic location;
- access times, pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring/exit pages;
- information collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 9).
3.3 Information From Third Parties
We may receive limited information about you from third parties, including analytics providers, advertising platforms, and publicly available sources, to validate inquiries or to detect fraud.
4. How We Use Personal Information
We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:
- to respond to your inquiries, applications, or communications;
- to evaluate prospective business relationships (advertisers, location hosts, partners);
- to operate, maintain, and improve the Website and our services;
- to send service announcements, security alerts, and, where permitted by law, marketing communications consistent with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL);
- to perform analytics, debugging, and research;
- to detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
- to comply with legal, regulatory, tax, and accounting obligations;
- for any other purpose with your consent or as permitted or required by law.
We collect, use, and disclose personal information only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances.
5. Consent
Under Canadian privacy legislation, we process personal information on the basis of your consent — either express consent (for sensitive information and for marketing communications) or implied consent (for processing that is reasonable and consistent with the purpose for which the information was provided). You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice; doing so may limit our ability to respond to your inquiry or deliver requested information.
7. Cross-Border Transfers
Personal information collected through the Website may be stored, processed, or accessed in Canada and in other countries, including the United States and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. While in another country, information is subject to the laws of that country, which may differ from Canadian law and may permit access by foreign governmental authorities. We take contractual and organizational steps to require service providers to protect personal information at a level comparable to what we maintain ourselves.
8. Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required or permitted by applicable law. Retention periods may vary based on the type of information and the context of collection. When information is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it in accordance with our internal retention policies.
10. Security
We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification, including encryption in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission or storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a breach of security safeguards involving a real risk of significant harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada in accordance with PIPEDA's breach-notification requirements.
11. Your Rights and Choices
Subject to applicable law and legal exceptions, you have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you, and request information about how it has been used and disclosed;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information;
- withdraw consent to our continued collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice;
- file a complaint with us at privacy@tribe26.app and, if not resolved to your satisfaction, with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at www.priv.gc.ca or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia at www.oipc.bc.ca.
We will respond to verified requests within the timeframes required by applicable law (generally within 30 days under PIPEDA). We may need to verify your identity before responding.
12. Marketing Communications
Where permitted by law, we may send marketing emails or messages. You may opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in such communications. Marketing communications are sent in accordance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
13. Children
The Website is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through the Website, please contact us at privacy@tribe26.app and we will take reasonable steps to delete the information.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, AND FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, TO UPDATE, MODIFY, REPLACE, OR SUPPLEMENT THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
The most current version will be posted on the Website with a revised "Last Updated" date. Where the changes are material, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you through the Website, by email, or by other appropriate means before the changes take effect.
