Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 2025.07.09 

Edgycatmedia.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information in compliance with:

  • Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
  • Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) (in cases where a client project involves health-related data, as explicitly agreed upon)
    • PHIPA compliance applies only if a project involves Ontario personal health information (e.g., medical content creation for a healthcare client). Edgycat Media does not collect or store health records unless explicitly contracted for such projects.
  • Municipal data policies in Thunder Bay, ON (see Section 6)

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect payment details or store personal data through our website. The only information we process and retain includes:

  • Contact details (name, email, phone) voluntarily provided via email or contact forms.
  • Confidential project materials shared by clients (see Section 2).

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To communicate with clients and deliver services.
  • To showcase published materials (e.g., social media, portfolios)
  • For legal compliance (e.g., disclosing information if required by law enforcement).

3. Sharing & Disclosure

  • No data is sold or shared with third parties, except:
    • Legal authorities if compelled by law.
    • Clients retain full rights to their confidential materials; we do not redistribute without permission.

4. Your Rights Under PIPEDA

You may:

  • Request access to or deletion of your personal data.
  • Withdraw consent for communication (email edgycatmedia@gmail.com).
  • File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC).

5. Data Retention & Security

  • Industry-standard security measures include:
    • Encrypted email communications (SSL/TLS).
    • Secure cloud storage (password-protected, 2FA where available).
    • Regular software updates to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  • Data is retained only as long as necessary for project completion or legal requirements. Secure deletion of files is performed upon project completion when required.

6. Thunder Bay Municipal Compliance

While Thunder Bay has no unique data policies beyond PIPEDA, we adhere to:

  • City of Thunder Bay Public Records Bylaw (if handling municipal contracts).
    • For municipal contracts, EdgyCatMedia adheres to the City of Thunder Bay’s procurement and record-keeping bylaws, including secure handling of public-sector data.
  • Ontario’s Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA)for public-sector-related projects.

7. High-Risk Projects

  • For projects involving sensitive information, a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) may be required. Clients must request this in writing prior to sharing materials. All employees and subcontractors are required to sign NDA’s under these circumstances and adhere to requirements within.
