Privacy Policy
pousto inc. ("pousto", "we", "us", or "our"), based in Alberta, Canada, operates the website at pousto.dev (the "Site"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have.
Information we collect
We aim to collect as little personal information as possible.
- Information you provide. When you contact us — for example by emailing [email protected] — we receive your email address, any name you provide, and the contents of your message.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider may log standard technical data (such as IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps) for security, diagnostics, and reliable operation. We do not use this data to build profiles of individuals.
- Cookies. The Site does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Any cookies used are strictly necessary for the Site to function.
How we use information
- To respond to your inquiries and communicate with you;
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, abuse, or fraud;
- To comply with legal obligations.
Legal basis and consent
We collect and use personal information with your consent and as otherwise permitted under applicable Canadian privacy law, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and, where applicable, Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual limits, by contacting us.
Analytics
We do not use third-party advertising analytics and we do not track you across other websites. If we enable analytics in the future, we will use privacy-preserving, aggregate measurement that does not identify you individually.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only:
- with service providers who help us operate the Site (for example, our hosting provider), who are permitted to use it only to provide services to us and are bound by appropriate confidentiality and security obligations;
- where required to comply with applicable law, legal process, or a lawful government request;
- to protect the rights, safety, or property of pousto, our users, or the public.
International data transfers
The Site is hosted on a global content-delivery network (Cloudflare). As a result, information may be processed and stored on servers located outside your province or country, including outside Canada. Where information is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure it receives appropriate protection.
Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or as required by law, after which we delete or anonymize it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request to access, correct, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and you may withdraw your consent to our use of it. To make a request, email [email protected]. You may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta, if you have concerns about how we handle your information.
Children's privacy
The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Third-party links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that we do not operate or control. This policy does not apply to those sites, and we are not responsible for their practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
