×Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 6, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Northbound Canada (“we,” “our,” or “us”). Northbound Canada is an independent travel-information website for people planning trips in Canada. This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, retained and protected when you visit our website, submit an inquiry, contact us or otherwise interact with our online services.
Northbound Canada is not affiliated with the Government of Canada, any provincial or territorial government, a tourism authority, a park authority, a travel agency or a booking platform.
2. Information We Collect
Depending on the functions enabled on the published website, information you voluntarily provide may include your name, email address, information contained in a message or correction request, travel topics you ask about, and other information you choose to provide. We aim to collect only information reasonably necessary for the stated purpose.
Technical information may also be collected by the website, hosting provider or enabled services, including IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages visited, date and time of access, referring URL, and diagnostic or interaction information. The exact data depends on the technologies actually enabled.
3. How We Use Information
Information may be used to respond to inquiries and correction requests; communicate about our editorial content; maintain, secure and improve the website; understand website performance; prevent fraud or misuse; comply with applicable legal requirements; establish or defend legal claims; and carry out other purposes communicated at or before collection or otherwise permitted by applicable law.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The current static version uses local storage only to remember the choice made in the cookie notice. It does not include third-party advertising or analytics trackers. If cookies, pixels, tags, analytics or advertising technologies are enabled in the published version, this policy and the consent mechanism must be updated to accurately describe them and consent must be obtained where required.
5. Analytics and Advertising
Northbound Canada may use analytics or advertising services in the future to understand traffic or measure marketing performance. If services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads or other measurement technologies are implemented, the policy must be updated to reflect the services actually in use. We will not state that a particular tracking technology is used unless it is actually implemented.
6. Sharing Personal Information
We do not sell or rent personal information. Where reasonably necessary, information may be disclosed to hosting and infrastructure providers, website maintenance providers, email and communication services, analytics or advertising providers where applicable, professional advisers, and government or law-enforcement authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law. Service providers should receive only information necessary for their authorized role and be subject to appropriate safeguards.
The contact form in this packaged static version does not transmit information to a server.
7. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may link to third-party websites, including official authorities, transportation providers, parks or other travel resources. Those services operate under their own privacy policies and terms. Northbound Canada is not responsible for the privacy, security or content practices of websites it does not operate.
8. Travel and Third-Party Services
Northbound Canada provides general editorial travel information and does not process accommodation, transportation, ticket, visa, permit or tour bookings. If a visitor follows a link to a third-party provider, information submitted to that provider is handled under that provider's own terms and privacy practices.
9. Retention
Personal information should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations and protect legitimate interests. When no longer required, it should be securely deleted, destroyed or anonymized, subject to applicable requirements.
10. Security
Reasonable technical, administrative and organizational safeguards should be used to protect personal information against unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction. No Internet transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable Canadian law and the circumstances, individuals may have rights to request access to personal information, request correction of inaccurate information, ask how information is collected, used or disclosed, withdraw consent where permitted, request deletion where applicable, and make a privacy complaint. Requests should be directed to the verified contact information of the website operator published on the live site.
12. Consent
Where consent is required, we aim to seek meaningful consent and explain what information is collected, why it is collected, how it may be used, with whom it may be shared and material consequences of the collection, use or disclosure. Consent may be withdrawn where permitted by law, subject to legal or contractual limitations.
13. Children's Privacy
This website is intended for a general travel-planning audience and is not designed to solicit personal information from children. If the operator learns that personal information from a child was collected without appropriate authorization where required, reasonable steps should be taken to delete it.
14. International Processing and Transfers
Some service providers may process or store information outside the visitor's province or outside Canada. Information processed in another jurisdiction may be subject to that jurisdiction's laws. Appropriate safeguards should be used when third-party service providers process personal information.
15. Privacy Complaints
If you have a concern about the handling of personal information, contact the verified operator of Northbound Canada first. Depending on the law that applies, individuals may also have avenues to raise concerns with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the relevant provincial privacy authority.
16. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes to the website, technologies, legal requirements or privacy practices. The “Last updated” date will be revised when material changes are made.
