Privacy Policy
Absolutely, babe. ❤️ This one should be written specifically around SingleBuck Sites rather than simply copying the .ca policy. I’ve structured it around the current Canadian privacy principles of accountability, meaningful consent, limiting collection/use/retention, safeguards, openness, and individual access/correction. Office of the Privacy Commissioner
Here’s the paste-ready version.
Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 1, 2026
SingleBuck Technologies (“SingleBuck,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information when you visit or use SingleBuck.com, create or manage a SingleBuck Site, contact us, or otherwise interact with services provided through SingleBuck.com.
This policy should be read together with our Terms of Service, Free Website & Acceptable Use Policy, and Cookie Policy.
1. Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use SingleBuck.com.
Account Information
When you create or manage a SingleBuck Site, we may collect information such as:
- your name;
- email address;
- username;
- account identifiers;
- authentication and security information;
- website or subdomain information;
- account preferences;
- communications associated with your account.
We collect only information reasonably necessary to create, administer, protect, and support your account and services.
Website and Technical Information
When you access SingleBuck.com or a website hosted through SingleBuck Sites, our systems may automatically receive technical information such as:
- IP address;
- browser type;
- device type;
- operating system;
- timestamps;
- referring pages;
- requested URLs;
- server and security logs;
- login activity;
- error information;
- general website usage information.
This information may be used to operate our infrastructure, troubleshoot problems, prevent abuse, maintain security, and understand how our services are used.
Support and Communications
If you contact SingleBuck, submit a support request, or communicate with us through an account or service, we may retain the information you provide along with related correspondence.
Information Related to Paid Services
If you choose to upgrade or purchase a paid SingleBuck service, additional information may be collected through SingleBuck.ca or an applicable payment provider.
Payment card information may be processed directly by third-party payment providers rather than stored by SingleBuck.
Purchases may also be subject to the privacy and service terms presented through SingleBuck.ca.
2. How We Use Personal Information
SingleBuck may use personal information to:
- create and manage user accounts;
- provision and operate websites and subdomains;
- authenticate users;
- provide website administration tools;
- provide customer support;
- communicate about accounts or services;
- process service requests;
- protect websites and infrastructure;
- detect spam, fraud, abuse, malware, or unauthorized activity;
- maintain server and network security;
- troubleshoot technical problems;
- improve SingleBuck Sites and related services;
- measure service usage and performance;
- comply with legal obligations;
- enforce our Terms and policies;
- process upgrades or service changes requested by users.
We do not collect personal information simply because it may be useful someday. Collection and use should relate to identifiable and reasonable purposes associated with operating our services.
Canadian privacy guidance requires organizations to identify purposes, limit collection, use information for appropriate purposes, and obtain meaningful consent where required. Office of the Privacy Commissioner
3. Consent
Where consent is required, SingleBuck seeks to provide information about what is being collected and why.
Depending on the circumstances and sensitivity of the information, consent may be express or may reasonably be implied from an individual’s actions.
For uses that are not necessary to provide a requested service, additional consent or choice may be provided where required.
You may withdraw consent for certain uses of personal information, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawal may affect our ability to provide services that require the information concerned.
4. Public Website Content
Websites created through SingleBuck Sites are generally intended to publish information to the internet.
Content deliberately published by a website owner—including text, images, contact information, posts, or other materials—may therefore become publicly accessible.
Users should avoid publishing personal information they do not wish to make public.
SingleBuck is not responsible for someone independently copying, indexing, archiving, or otherwise using information that a website owner has intentionally made publicly available.
5. Information Collected by Individual Website Owners
SingleBuck provides the hosting platform for websites such as:
yourname.singlebuck.com
Individual website owners may choose to use forms, comments, analytics, plugins, embeds, mailing lists, or other features that collect information from their own visitors.
Where a website owner independently determines what information to collect and how to use it, that website owner is responsible for ensuring their practices comply with applicable privacy laws and for providing any notices or obtaining any consent required for their activities.
SingleBuck does not automatically control every information-collection practice implemented by an individual SingleBuck Sites user.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
SingleBuck.com may use cookies and similar technologies for:
- authentication;
- account sessions;
- security;
- preferences;
- website operation;
- analytics;
- performance measurement;
- fraud and abuse prevention.
More information is available in our Cookie Policy.
7. How We Share Personal Information
SingleBuck does not sell personal information.
We may disclose information in limited circumstances, including to service providers that help us operate our services.
These may include providers involved in:
- infrastructure and hosting;
- domain or DNS services;
- email delivery;
- security and spam prevention;
- analytics;
- payment processing;
- customer support;
- backups and data storage;
- technical services.
Service providers may only receive information reasonably necessary for the services they provide.
We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:
- comply with applicable law, court orders, or lawful government requests;
- investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or violations of our policies;
- protect SingleBuck, our users, or others from harm;
- establish, exercise, or defend legal rights;
- facilitate a legitimate corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of assets, subject to applicable legal requirements.
8. International Processing
SingleBuck operates in Canada but may use infrastructure or service providers located in Canada or other jurisdictions.
As a result, personal information may in some circumstances be processed or stored outside your province or outside Canada.
Information processed in another jurisdiction may be subject to the laws applicable in that jurisdiction.
Where third-party providers handle personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances to ensure that information is handled consistently with our privacy obligations.
9. Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to:
- provide an active service;
- maintain account or transaction records;
- resolve disputes;
- maintain security records;
- prevent abuse;
- satisfy legal, regulatory, accounting, or operational requirements.
Information that is no longer required should be securely deleted, destroyed, or anonymized where appropriate.
Backups may retain deleted information for a limited period until ordinary backup rotation or deletion processes occur.
Canadian privacy principles require personal information to be retained only as long as necessary for identified purposes and organizations to establish appropriate retention and destruction practices. Office of the Privacy Commissioner
10. Security
SingleBuck uses reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards intended to protect personal information against risks including:
- unauthorized access;
- unauthorized disclosure;
- loss;
- theft;
- misuse;
- alteration;
- destruction.
Safeguards may include access controls, authentication measures, server and network protections, software updates, monitoring, backups, and security procedures.
No website, network, or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.
Canadian privacy guidance requires safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity and risks associated with personal information. Office of the Privacy Commissioner
11. Privacy and Security Incidents
If SingleBuck becomes aware of a privacy or security incident involving personal information, we will investigate and respond according to the circumstances.
Where applicable law requires notification to affected individuals, regulators, or other parties, SingleBuck will provide such notification.
12. Accessing or Correcting Your Information
You may request access to personal information SingleBuck holds about you and may ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Certain information may be unavailable where access is restricted or prohibited by applicable law.
We may need to verify your identity before processing an access or correction request.
Requests may be submitted using the contact information below.
Canadian privacy law provides individuals with rights to request access to personal information held by organizations subject to PIPEDA and to challenge its accuracy and completeness. Office of the Privacy Commissioner
13. Account Closure and Deletion
If you close your account or your SingleBuck Site is terminated, information associated with the account may be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer reasonably required.
Some information may be retained where necessary for:
- security or fraud prevention;
- legal obligations;
- transaction records;
- dispute resolution;
- enforcement of our agreements;
- backup and disaster-recovery processes.
Publicly indexed copies of website content maintained independently by search engines, archives, or other third parties may remain outside SingleBuck’s control after content is removed from our systems.
14. Marketing Communications
SingleBuck may communicate with users regarding their accounts, websites, security, service changes, support requests, or other operational matters.
Where SingleBuck sends promotional or marketing communications, users will be provided with an appropriate method to unsubscribe where required.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily prevent us from sending important service, account, billing, security, or legal communications.
15. Third-Party Websites and Services
SingleBuck Sites may contain links to or integrations with websites and services operated by third parties.
SingleBuck is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of services they choose to use.
16. Children’s Privacy
SingleBuck does not knowingly seek to collect sensitive personal information from children without appropriate authorization or consent where required by law.
Where an individual is unable to provide meaningful consent for the collection or use of their personal information, appropriate consent may be required from a parent, guardian, or other authorized person.
Canadian privacy guidance states that meaningful consent must account for an individual’s capacity to understand the nature and consequences of information practices. Office of the Privacy Commissioner
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our services, technologies, legal obligations, or privacy practices change.
The current version will be published on SingleBuck.com with an updated effective or revision date.
Where a change materially alters how personal information is collected, used, or disclosed, we may provide additional notice or seek additional consent where required.
