Privacy Policy
Effective September 2, 2026
The short version
- Nothing on this site asks who you are, and there is no mechanism by which you could tell it.
- The web server writes a log line for every request, because web servers do that.
- If you send an email, the email exists until it is deleted.
- One cookie stores a yes or a no from the banner.
- There is no analytics, no advertising, no profiling and no sharing with anyone.
The rest of this page is that summary written out properly, with the legal references attached.
Who is responsible, and under what law
Christopher Martin, an individual rather than a company, at 1055 Dunsmuir St, Vancouver, BC V7X 1L3, Canada, reachable at [email protected]. He wrote the site, he runs the hosting account and he answers the mail.
The federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act applies, together with British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act where it is engaged, and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation.
The three things that exist
Log lines. Serving a file writes one, holding the requesting IP address, the browser’s user-agent string, the path, a timestamp and the response code. They are a by-product of running a web server, not a decision anybody made, and they are consulted when the site breaks or when automated traffic becomes a problem. They are never combined with anything else. The host rotates them out within a few weeks.
Email. Whatever you choose to put in a message reaches the mailbox: usually a name, a return address and a question about a board. Nothing on the site collects it — there is no form on this domain at all, no sign-up, no comment box, no upload. Threads are kept up to twenty-four months so a later question has context, then deleted, and sooner on request.
Order correspondence. Ordering the Cluster Counting Sheet adds the reference your bank puts on an Interac e-Transfer, which is how a payment is matched to an order. No card number, expiry date or security code is ever seen by this site or its owner; a transfer passes between your bank and his, and there is no payment page here for one to be entered into.
Why each of them is used
Log lines exist to keep the site available and secure. Email exists to be answered. Order correspondence exists to perform the contract you entered when you asked for the file: sending transfer details, confirming the payment arrived, delivering the PDF. A lawful demand from a Canadian authority would be complied with. That is the whole list, and nothing is used for a purpose outside it.
Personal information is not sold, rented, traded or disclosed to advertisers or data brokers. Under CASL no commercial electronic message is sent from this address: there is no mailing list, so there is nothing to unsubscribe from, and a reply to your own message is not marketing.
The hosting and email providers are the only third parties involved. Both may operate infrastructure outside British Columbia and outside Canada; where they do, they are contractually bound to protections comparable to those required here, and what is involved amounts to log lines and correspondence. Pages are served over HTTPS and the hosting account is accessible to one person only.
Leaving the site
Pages here link to store listings for the applications they describe. Google Play is run by Google LLC under its own privacy policy, which this document neither controls nor extends. Beyond that link, what happens to your information is decided entirely by whoever operates the destination, and reading their terms before installing anything is worth the minute it takes.
A single first-party cookie, zq_cookie_consent, records your answer to the banner for six months. The Cookie Policy covers it in full.
Your rights, and where to go if they are not honoured
Under PIPEDA and BC PIPA you may ask what personal information is held about you and receive a copy of it, ask for a correction where something is wrong, withdraw a consent you gave, and have your correspondence deleted. Send the request to [email protected] saying which of those you want; a first reply normally arrives within a couple of business days and the request is completed inside thirty days.
If the outcome does not satisfy you, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia accepts complaints, as does the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Neither asks whether you raised it here first, and neither should.
Should the site change in a way that affects any of the above, this page is rewritten and the date at the top moves with it.
