Privacy

The short version

Our pages use Google Analytics to understand how people find and use the site. We never sell your personal information. We collect information only when you send it to us: through the availability form, by email or phone, or when you pay for a booking.

What this site does not do

• Google Analytics sets its own cookies to count visits. It does not tell us who you are.
• No advertising pixels, no session recording, no heatmaps.
• No fonts, scripts or images are loaded from other companies’ servers.
• The pages ship no JavaScript at all.

Our web host records standard server access logs, which typically include IP address, browser type and the page requested. We do not combine those with anything else or use them to identify you.

What we collect

• Availability form or email: business name, your name and email address, and if you choose, a phone number, your category, the mailing you are asking about, a placement and a message.
• Free proof request: if you tick the free proof box, a link to your website, social media page or logo, and if you choose, an offer you would like featured. You may also email us your logo or branding for the proof.
• When you pay: if payment is processed by Stripe, you give your billing details on Stripe’s checkout page. Card details go to Stripe, not to us. We see the card type and its last four digits, never the full card number.
• For your ad: the logo, offer, images and contact details you want printed.
• Businesses we contact: if we email a business about advertising, we use contact details that the business has published itself, for example on its website.

Why we collect it

To answer your enquiry, prepare a free proof if you ask for one, take and confirm your booking, design and print your ad, send receipts, and keep the business records the law requires. We do not use it for anything else.

Who handles it for us

• Stripe processes payments and sends receipts. Stripe’s own privacy policy applies on its checkout page, and Stripe may use cookies there to prevent fraud. stripe.com/privacy
• Netlify hosts this site and receives the availability form. Submissions are stored in our Netlify account and emailed to us. netlify.com/privacy
• Our email provider, Namecheap Private Email, stores the email we send and receive.
• Our printer and Canada Post receive only what a mailing needs: the finished card and the routes.

These companies may store information outside Canada, including in the United States. While it is there, it may be accessed by the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities of that country.

We do not sell, rent or share your information for anyone else’s marketing.

How long we keep it

• Free proof materials: your website, logo, social media links, branding and any offer details you send for a free proof are deleted, along with the proof itself, once you confirm you are not booking. We will not keep your information.
• Other enquiries that do not lead to a booking: up to 12 months after our last contact, then deleted. This does not apply to free proof requests, which are deleted as described above.
• Bookings, payments and receipts: six years after the end of the tax year they relate to, because the Canada Revenue Agency requires business records to be kept that long.
• Your ad files: while you advertise with us, so we can rerun or update your ad. Ask and we will delete them sooner.

How we protect it

What you send us is kept in our accounts with the companies above, which are protected by passwords, and only the owner of Mumford Mail Co. has access. We share it only as described on this page.

Emails from us

We email you about your enquiry or booking. If we email your business about advertising and you would rather we did not, reply and say so, and we will stop within 10 business days.

Your choices

You can ask what we hold about you, ask for a correction, or ask us to delete it, and we will, except where we are required to keep a business record. The owner of Mumford Mail Co. is responsible for privacy here. Email hello@mumfordmailco.ca or call 705 761 3089.

If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
