Privacy Policy

This page explains how Maverick Gardner Pathways North Inc. (“MGPN,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you visit pathwaysnorth.ca or interact with us through this site. We treat your data with the same care we extend to every aspect of our operations: under documented Indigenous control, on Canadian infrastructure, and aligned with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Who we are

What we collect

Information you provide. When you submit a contact form, sponsorship inquiry, or discovery-call request, we collect the details you share — typically your name, organization, role, email address, and any information you choose to add.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the site, we collect limited technical information: IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you view, and time on page. This helps us maintain the site and understand how it’s used.

We do not collect or store sensitive personal information (health, financial, biometric) through this site.

How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and follow up on requested briefings
  • Provide the services or partnerships you’ve asked about
  • Improve the site, our communications, and our service delivery
  • Meet legal, audit, and reporting obligations

We do not sell personal information. We do not share it with marketing partners. We do not use it to build advertising profiles.

Cookies and analytics

This site uses cookies for essential functions (page navigation, form submission) and for privacy-respecting analytics. We use the following third-party services to operate the site:

  • WPForms — form submission and processing
  • Google Analytics (via Site Kit) — site usage analytics, configured to anonymize IP addresses where supported
  • Rank Math SEO — search engine optimization

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Some site features may not function fully without them.

Data residency and Indigenous data sovereignty

MGPN stores and processes visitor data within Canada. We do not offshore your data, and we structure our infrastructure to keep visitor, client, and community information under Canadian jurisdiction.

For data relating to Indigenous community engagement, we follow OCAP® principles — Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession — recognizing that Indigenous communities have the right to control how data about them is collected, used, and shared.

Embedded content

Pages on this site may include embedded content from other sites (videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other site directly. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content.

Media you upload

If you upload images to the site through any form or process available to you, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can extract location data from publicly visible images.

How long we retain your data

We retain personal information only as long as needed to:

  • Respond to your inquiry and any reasonable follow-up
  • Meet legal, accounting, or audit requirements
  • Maintain the integrity and security of our records

You can request deletion of your information at any time. We will honour the request unless we are legally required to retain specific records.

Your rights

Under PIPEDA and applicable Canadian privacy law, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your information, where legally permitted
  • Withdraw consent for ongoing processing
  • File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected].

Where your data is sent

Form submissions and other personal information are processed within Canada by MGPN and our service providers. If we ever rely on a service provider that processes data outside Canada, we will update this policy and apply appropriate contractual safeguards before doing so.

Visitor comments and form submissions may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is always available at https://www.pathwaysnorth.ca/privacy. Material changes will be communicated through the site.
