Privacy policy
Draft — pending legal review. This policy will be reviewed by a lawyer before Psalmweb launches.
Psalmweb (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through psalmweb.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It is written to meet Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Québec’s Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (as amended by Law 25), and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
Who is responsible
Psalmweb is responsible for the personal information described here. Our person in charge of the protection of personal information can be reached at hello [at] psalmweb.com or by mail at Psalmweb, Canada.
What we collect
When you join the waitlist: your email address (required); and, if you choose to give them, your name, church name, role, city or province, and preferred language.
A record of your consent: the exact wording you agreed to, its version and the date and time.
Technical information: a one-way, salted hash of your IP address (we never store the address itself), your browser’s user-agent string, and how you found us (for example a campaign tag or the referring website).
We use one small cookie, “lang”, to remember your language choice. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not use analytics that follow you across sites.
Why we collect it
To tell you when Psalmweb launches and to send the updates you asked for; to understand which churches are interested so we build the right product; to protect the form against spam and abuse; and to keep the proof of consent that CASL requires.
We collect only what we need for these purposes. We never sell or rent your personal information.
Consent and how to withdraw it
We only email you if you tick the consent box and then confirm your address by clicking the link we send you (double opt-in).
Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link that works in one click. You can also withdraw your consent at any time by writing to hello [at] psalmweb.com. We act on unsubscribe requests promptly and always within 10 business days.
Service providers and where your information is stored
We use Cloudflare, Inc. to host this website, store the waitlist, send email and run Turnstile, a privacy-preserving check that tells people and bots apart. Your information may therefore be stored or processed outside Québec and Canada, including in the United States, where it may be accessible to authorities under local law. We rely on contractual and technical safeguards to protect it.
How long we keep it
Sign-ups that are never confirmed are deleted within 90 days. Confirmed sign-ups are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them, or until we no longer need them for the purposes above.
When you unsubscribe we stop emailing you immediately. We keep a minimal record (your email address, consent record and unsubscribe date) for up to three years so we can honour your choice and demonstrate compliance with CASL, unless you ask us to delete it.
Your rights
You may ask to access the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to receive it in a structured, commonly used technological format, or to have it deleted. Write to hello [at] psalmweb.com; we will respond within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with our answer, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca) or, in Québec, the Commission d’accès à l’information (cai.gouv.qc.ca).
Security
Information is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Access to the waitlist is restricted to the Psalmweb team through Cloudflare Access. If a confidentiality incident presents a risk of serious harm, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.
Children
The waitlist is intended for adults who help run a church. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 14.
Changes to this policy
We will post any change on this page and update the date above. If a change affects how we use information we already hold, we will ask for your consent again.
