Privacy Policy

The Northern Vibe Project · northernvibe.ca · Last updated: April 6, 2026

1. Who we are

The Northern Vibe Project is an independent Canadian political analysis platform. We build tools to make federal electoral data more accessible to Canadians. Questions about this policy can be directed to contact@northernvibe.ca.

2. What data we collect

Northern Vibe does not collect any personal information from visitors simply by using the site. No account is required, and we do not track you across the web. The only circumstances in which we receive personal information are:

  • If you email us at contact@northernvibe.ca — we receive whatever information you include in that message (e.g. your name, email address, message content).
  • If you submit our feedback survey (hosted on Google Forms) — responses are stored in Google's infrastructure and subject to Google's privacy policy. You may choose to include contact information in your response, but it is not required.

3. Cookies and local storage

We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. Your browser may store your language preference (FR/EN) and Scenario Builder settings locally so they persist between visits. This data stays on your device and is never sent to us.

4. Third-party services

The following third-party services are embedded in the site and have their own privacy policies:

  • MapLibre + OpenFreeMap — powers the interactive riding map; Mapbox Geocoding — postal code lookups
  • Google Forms — used for our feedback survey

We have no advertising relationships and load no third-party ad scripts.

5. How we use your information

If you contact us by email or feedback form, we use that information solely to respond to your message and improve the platform. We do not share it with third parties, use it for advertising, or retain it beyond what is reasonably necessary.

6. Your rights (Canadian residents)

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information we hold about you. To make a request, email contact@northernvibe.ca.

7. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we'll update the "last updated" date above. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
