Canadian Prisoners Advocates (“CPA”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects the privacy of people who visit canadianprisonersadvocates.org. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through the website, why it is used, and the choices available to visitors.
Information you choose to provide
The student placement form prepares an email in your own email application. The website does not store the information entered into that form. If you choose to send the email, CPA receives the information through its email service and uses it to review and respond to your inquiry or placement interest.
Please do not include sensitive personal information that is not necessary for your inquiry.
Website analytics and search information
CPA uses Google Analytics and Google Search Console to understand how the website is found and used. These services may collect or generate information such as:
- Pages viewed and the date and time of a visit
- General device, browser, and operating system information
- Approximate geographic location
- The website or search result that referred a visitor
- Interactions such as page views, downloads, and form activity
- Aggregated information about how CPA appears in Google Search
Google Analytics may use first party cookies and similar identifiers. Google states that Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses. Google may derive general location information from an IP address before discarding it.
CPA uses this information to measure the reach of the website, understand which content is useful, identify technical issues, and improve the website. CPA does not use Google Analytics for personalized advertising. Optional Google Analytics data sharing with Google products and services is disabled.
Cookies and your choices
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking Analytics cookies should not prevent you from reading the main content of this website, although some measurements may be less accurate.
You can also use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. To learn more about how Google processes information from websites that use its services, visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
How information is shared
CPA does not sell or rent personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that support the website and email, including website hosting services and Google. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy commitments. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the website, CPA, or others.
Retention
Email correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, administer a placement inquiry, meet legal or operational requirements, or maintain appropriate records. Analytics information is retained according to CPA’s Google Analytics settings and Google’s applicable retention policies. Aggregated reports may be retained longer because they do not identify individual visitors.
Third-party websites
This website links to third-party services, including Instagram and Google. When you follow an external link, that service’s privacy policy and terms apply. CPA is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Security
CPA uses reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information under its control. No online service or email system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your privacy choices and rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask about personal information CPA holds about you or request access, correction, or deletion. Some information may need to be retained for legal, security, or administrative reasons.

Changes to this policy
CPA may update this Privacy Policy as the website and its practices develop. The effective date at the top of the policy will be updated when material changes are made.
