Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 27, 2026

Welcome to the Edmonton Journal. This Privacy Policy outlines how Edmonton Journal ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User") of the edmontonjournal.com website ("Site"). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by Edmonton Journal. By using our Site, you signify your acceptance of this policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect various types of information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our Site, register on the Site, subscribe to a newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site. The information we collect may include:

Device and Usage Information: We may collect non-personally identifiable information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. This may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, the pages visited on our Site, the time spent on those pages, referring URLs, and other similar statistics.
Personal Identifiable Information (Optional): We may collect personally identifiable information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. For example, when subscribing to a newsletter or creating an account, we may ask for your name and email address.

Cookies

Our Site may use "cookies" to enhance User experience. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by a website server. They are used to store information about your preferences, which helps us to improve our Site, personalize your experience, and remember your settings. You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party service providers to help us operate our business and the Site or administer activities on our behalf, such as sending out newsletters or conducting statistical analysis. These third parties may have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Analytics Services: We may use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect and analyze information about how Users interact with our Site. This data helps us understand website traffic, user behavior, and improve our services.
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): We may use CDNs to deliver content (like images and scripts) more efficiently, which may involve the temporary collection of your IP address.

Advertising

Ads appearing on our Site may be delivered to Users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile non-personally identifiable identification information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Children's Privacy (Under 13)

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. Our Site is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Edmonton Journal has the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage Users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of modifications.
