How this site treats personal information

The form

When you send the form, we receive your name, the contact details you choose to leave and your message: which place, which fact and which link. Nothing more is asked and you need no account.

We never publish your name or contact details, and we contact you only with questions about what you sent.

The form is for adults.

Counting visits

A small script served by this site counts visits without cookies and without building a profile of you. A click on a contact button sends the kind of button, the place and its activities, and nothing about the person clicking.

Your location

Your location is requested only when you tap the location button. Your browser keeps it for as long as the tab stays open and uses it to work out distances; it is never sent anywhere, not even to us.

A station, school or neighbourhood you choose by name is remembered in your browser for your next visit.

The streets on the filter map come from OpenStreetMap. Opening it makes your browser download map tiles from OpenStreetMap’s servers, which receive your IP address and the area you are viewing, as happens on any website. Any spot you pick remains in your browser.

Places listed and your rights

Everything in the list was published by the places themselves, on their websites or Google listings, for their customers to see. When a place is run by one person, we show a phone number or address only if that person put it online.

Businesses make these details public so that families can find them, and our only use for them is the same: letting parents compare what is on offer for their children. We handle them under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the federal law that covers private businesses in Ontario. They are never sold, never used for advertising and never combined into profiles.

If you are listed, the form lets you ask whether we hold information about you, see it, have it corrected or have it erased. The person responsible for privacy on this site handles these requests. We reply within the thirty days the law allows, and you may also take a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Deleting a message

To have one of your messages deleted, write to us again through the form and tell us which one. It will be gone within a month.
