We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.


4. Legal Basis — CASL Compliance

SteadyStack complies with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). We only send commercial electronic messages to individuals who have provided express consent by subscribing through our signup form.

Every email we send includes a clear and functional unsubscribe mechanism. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any issue of The Mission Economy, or by emailing us at hello@steadystack.ca. Unsubscribe requests are processed within 10 business days as required by CASL.


5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

We share your information only with the following service providers who help us operate our services:

  • Beehiiv — our newsletter platform, which stores subscriber email addresses and engagement data. Beehiiv is subject to its own privacy policy.
  • Cloudflare — our website hosting and security provider, which processes IP addresses and request data for performance and security purposes.
  • Google Workspace — used for email communication at hello@steadystack.ca.

All service providers are contractually required to use your information only as necessary to provide their services to us and are prohibited from using it for their own marketing purposes.

We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request from a government authority.


6. Data Retention

We retain subscriber information for as long as you remain subscribed to The Mission Economy. If you unsubscribe, your email address and associated data will be removed from our active subscriber list. Beehiiv may retain suppression records (unsubscribed email addresses) to ensure we do not inadvertently re-subscribe you in the future.

Website analytics data is retained in aggregate form and does not identify individual users.


7. Your Rights Under PIPEDA

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Withdraw consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information (subject to legal or contractual restrictions)
  • File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe we have violated your privacy rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@steadystack.ca. We will respond within 30 days.


8. Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses minimal tracking. We may use standard analytics to understand how visitors use our site. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

Cloudflare, our hosting provider, may set cookies for security and performance purposes. These cookies do not identify individual users personally.


9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our website is served over HTTPS. Subscriber data is held by Beehiiv, which maintains its own security controls.

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
