1. Introduction

Welcome to https://www.thefiftyonepercent.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We are based in Canada and are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle data when you visit our website.

Because we do not allow user accounts, comments, or media submissions, we collect very little personal information. Our primary goal in data collection is to understand how our website is performing.


2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways:

  • Log Files: Our servers automatically log technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and the time of your visit to ensure site security.
  • Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect information about how you use our site (e.g., which pages you click, how long you stay). This data is “pseudonymized,” meaning it helps us see patterns without identifying you personally.

3. Google Analytics & Cookies

Our website uses cookies (small text files placed on your device) to function and to provide analytics.

Types of Cookies We Use:

  • Necessary Cookies: Required for the website to load and function securely.
  • Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics): These help us see how many people visit us. Google may store this data on servers located outside of Canada (primarily in the United States).

How to Opt-Out:

You can stop Google Analytics from tracking you by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by adjusting your browser settings to block all cookies.


4. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data strictly to:

  • Monitor and maintain the security of our website.
  • Analyze traffic trends to improve our content.
  • Comply with Canadian legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties for marketing purposes.


5. Data Sovereignty & International Transfers

While we are hosted in Canada, our use of Google Analytics means that some technical data may be processed in the United States. In such cases, that data is subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.

Our website may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites. We recommend reading their policies before providing them with any information.

7. Your Rights (PIPEDA)

Under Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, you have the right to access any personal information we hold about you. However, since we do not collect names or emails, we generally cannot identify individuals in our logs without a specific IP address and timestamp.
