Privacy policy

Our Privacy Practices

Kind Karma, operating at kindkarma.ca, is a Canadian news website dedicated to factual reporting. We do not require user accounts, we do not host comments, and we do not send newsletters. This policy outlines the limited data we collect, which is solely for the essential operation and security of our website. We are committed to transparency and protecting the privacy of our readers across Canada and beyond.

Data We Collect and Why

When you visit our site, our web server and our security provider, Cloudflare, automatically collect basic technical logs. This information includes your device’s IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit. We retain these logs for a limited period solely for security purposes, such as identifying and preventing malicious attacks on our website. This data helps us ensure the stability and safety of our service for all readers.

We use a small number of strictly necessary technical cookies. These cookies are essential for the website to function properly, for instance by remembering your preference for our Canadian English language setting. We do not use any advertising cookies or tracking cookies for behavioural profiling. Our cookies do not follow you across other websites, and they are not used to build a profile about you.

How We Handle Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal data. The limited technical information we collect is not used for any purpose other than website security and operation as described above. Access to the raw server logs is restricted to our technical administrators for security analysis. We do not combine this data with other sources to identify individuals, except in the case of investigating a security incident.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you have rights regarding your personal information under applicable privacy laws. For readers in Europe, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For readers in Canada, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and relevant provincial laws apply. These laws may grant you the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. As our data collection is minimal and for security, our ability to comply with specific requests may be limited, but we will address all inquiries.

Policy Updates and Contact

We may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or the law. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. For any questions about this privacy policy or your personal information, you may contact our editorial team. Our editors, Maya Okafor, Liam Desrosiers, and Harper Singh, are committed to journalistic integrity and responsible data practices as we report on news across Canada.
