Who we are
TighterCrew is published by Bidouille, a sole proprietorship based in Saskatchewan, Canada. In this policy, "we" and "TighterCrew" mean Bidouille. We are responsible for the personal information described here, under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) of Canada.
What we record
Page views and partner clicks. When a page loads, the site adds one to a daily counter for that page. When you click a link to a company we cover, it adds one to a daily counter for that page and that company. Each counter holds a date, the path of the page, the kind of event and, for a click, the name of the company's website. It holds nothing about you: no IP address, no cookie, no device or visitor identifier.
If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, nothing is counted.
Server logs. Like every website, TighterCrew is delivered by a hosting provider, Vercel Inc. (United States). To deliver pages and block abuse, the host processes technical data that your browser sends with each request, such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested. We use these logs only to keep the site running and secure.
Messages you send us. The contact form records what you type into it: your name, your email address, the subject you chose, the page you mention if any, and your message. It records nothing else, no IP address and no cookie. We use this to answer you and keep it only as long as the exchange requires.
What we do not record
- TighterCrew has no user accounts and asks for no sign-up.
- TighterCrew sets no cookies and loads no advertising or social media trackers.
- The calculators and templates run in your browser. The figures and text you type into them are not sent to us.
- The search box sends the words you type to show matching pages. TighterCrew keeps no search history.
Links to other companies
TighterCrew links to the companies it covers, and some of these links are affiliate links (see the affiliate disclosure). Once you click one, you are on that company's website. The company and the affiliate network it uses may set cookies to record that you came from TighterCrew, and may collect personal information if you sign up. Their own privacy policies apply, not this one. We receive sales reports from affiliate programs; they do not tell us who you are.
Why we use this information
- To know which pages are read and which are not, so we can improve them.
- To check that partner links work.
- To keep the site available and secure.
- To answer people who write to us.
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Where information is kept and for how long
Our hosting provider stores and processes data in the United States and other countries. Information kept outside Canada is subject to the laws of the country where it is held. The daily counters contain no personal information and are kept without a time limit. Server logs are kept by the host for a short period under its own retention rules. Messages sent through the contact form are stored in the database of the site, held by our database provider, and deleted once the exchange is over.
Your rights
You can ask whether we hold personal information about you, ask for a copy, ask us to correct it or to delete it, and withdraw your consent to its use. Because TighterCrew records so little, the usual answer is that we hold nothing beyond any messages you sent us.
If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. If you live in the United States, the same rights apply to you on this site, whatever your state.
Children
TighterCrew is written for people who run a business. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
If the site starts recording anything new, for example a newsletter sign-up, this page is updated first and the date at the top changes.
