Privacy notice

1. Responsibility and contact

JC operates this site personally in Vancouver and is its privacy contact. Use the email on this page for access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent or complaints. Identify the relevant account, pages or scope so identity can be reasonably checked. Do not send passwords, verification codes or identity documents unsolicited.

2. Information and purposes

The sign-in service provides a site-specific account identifier, email and available display name for account identification, access control and account features. This site does not request or store your login password.

The site stores information you submit: profiles, portfolio links, uploaded images, listings, bookmarks, proposals, contact methods, messages, drafts, notification preferences, reports and blocks. These support display, search, communication, draft recovery, notifications and safety handling. Related timestamps, progress, terms acknowledgements and recent account activity dates are also stored.

Hosting and sign-in providers process technical information such as network addresses, requests and device/browser details for requests, sessions, security and diagnostics under their own privacy rules. Supply only information needed for the collaboration.

3. Visibility and access restrictions

Names, biographies, locations, languages and portfolio links on open listings and public profiles can be viewed by visitors, indexed by search engines or copied. Uploaded profile images currently require sign-in but can still be saved by authorized viewers. Profiles show recent activity dates and mutually confirmed completion counts.

Bookmarks and drafts are account-scoped. Proposals, their contact methods and messages are ordinarily restricted to participants. Reports and block records have restricted access. Administrators can review reported target content, outcomes and audit records and restrict posting or messaging for abuse prevention; the dashboard does not provide general browsing of all private conversations. The operator and necessary providers may process data for hosting, security, reports or legal obligations. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted; we cannot promise that only the participants can ever access them.

Avoid putting private contact details or sensitive information in public content. Another participant may save or forward what you send, and the platform cannot recall copies they retain.

4. Providers, translation and email

The site uses OpenAI / ChatGPT Sites hosting and sign-in integration and Cloudflare infrastructure for storage and processing. Processing may occur outside Canada and be subject to local laws. The site does not currently promise Canada-only storage.

Translation uses browser translation when supported. If cloud translation is offered and you choose it, the selected listing text is sent to DeepL. Do not put sensitive information into public content to be translated. Translations do not replace independent verification.

Submitted listings, profiles, proposals, messages and images intended for public profiles are sent to OpenAI for automated harmful-content checks. Blocked submissions and failed checks are stored in restricted review records, including their text or image, accessible to the submitter and administrator. Normally approved content is not duplicated in this queue. Image text is extracted in your browser when possible, submitted with the image for checks, and kept in restricted storage for rechecks. Rules warn about advance payments and return promises; explicit requests for passwords or verification codes are held for administrator review. Recognition and rules can miss risks. Report evidence is handled separately and privately. Checks may be wrong and do not verify a collaboration. View Content reviews in Settings to see outcomes or appeal; approved originals must be submitted again.

Owner report and content-review alerts use Resend to send a notice and protected direct link to the operator, without the submitted text, images or private user details in the email. Ordinary user email notifications are not currently enabled and saved user preferences do not trigger delivery. Before enabling them, this notice will be updated and valid preferences respected. Agreeing to terms does not enable optional email. Commercial marketing email requires separate consent where required by law.

5. Browser storage and advertising

Basic page-view measurement starts with this version to help the operator understand usage trends. It stores page category, Vancouver date, time and a random identifier for each individual event to prevent duplicate counting. It does not create a visitor identity or store accounts, IP addresses, full URLs, search text or referrers in the metrics, and does not use advertising-tracking cookies. Event records older than 90 days are removed during automatic cleanup. These metrics are visible only to the administrator and are not unique-person counts.

Local and session storage hold interface language, sign-in return context and draft-recovery copies. Clearing them can remove unsynchronized drafts. Signing out does not delete server records or clear every local copy; clear browsing data on shared devices. Hosting and sign-in providers may use necessary session technologies.

The site application currently includes no advertising-tracking or behavioural-advertising code. We currently accept no advertising or paid promotion. New tracking, sharing or different purposes will be disclosed and consent obtained where required.

6. Retention, requests and choices

There is currently no single automatic deletion period for all data. Account content and communications may remain after you stop visiting until changed, deleted through available features or addressed by the operator. The operator should retain information only as needed for service, security, disputes and legal requirements and address data no longer needed.

You can edit your profile, close listings and manage drafts and notification preferences. Closing a listing changes its display or collaboration status; it is not complete database deletion. A full self-service account-deletion feature is not currently available. Email the contact on this page for access copies, correction or deletion.

After reasonable identity checks, requests will be handled under applicable law. Reasons will be explained if some records must be retained for legal obligations, disputes or others’ rights. Hosting backups and copies retained by other participants may not be immediately deleted. Withdrawing optional consent may affect the relevant feature, without forcing profile completion or marketing.

If a privacy concern remains unresolved, you may contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia (OIPC BC) or another applicable regulator.
