We collect two kinds of information:

Information you give us. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. If you email us to report a wrong deal, suggest a restaurant, or ask a question, we collect that message and any contact info you include.

2. Why we collect it

Newsletter email addresses are used only to send you the weekly Cheap Eats Guelph digest. Support emails are used to respond to you. Analytics data helps us understand which restaurants and deals are most useful, so we can improve the site.

4. Cookies & tracking

The site uses cookies for analytics and advertising. You can accept or decline these via the cookie banner on your first visit. Declining means Google Analytics and Google AdSense will not be loaded. You can change your preference by clearing this site's storage and reloading the page. Essential cookies required for the site to function (like your consent preference itself) are always set.

Advertising cookies. When ads are displayed, Google AdSense and its partners may set cookies or use web beacons to serve ads relevant to your interests, based on your visits to this and other websites. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information. To opt out of personalised ads, visit google.com/settings/ads. To opt out of third-party vendor cookies, visit networkadvertising.org/choices.

5. Your rights

Under PIPEDA you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, request corrections, withdraw consent (including unsubscribing from the newsletter at any time via the link in every email), and file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

To exercise these rights, email hello@cheapeatsguelph.com.

6. Data retention

We keep newsletter subscriber emails until you unsubscribe. Support emails are kept for up to 12 months. Analytics data is retained by Google Analytics 4 for 14 months by default.

7. Children

This site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes
