5. Legal grounds
Depending on where you live, our legal grounds may include:
- Consent: You chose to receive the Letter, requested a resource, or gave another clear permission.
- Your request: Processing is needed to deliver a resource or respond to you.
- Legitimate interests: Processing is reasonably needed to operate, secure, and improve the site, where the law permits and your rights do not take priority.
- Legal obligation: Processing is required to meet a legal duty.
- Legal rights: Processing is needed to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.
You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal applies to future use and does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
6. The What’s Next Letter
We send The What’s Next Letter only through an approved subscriber path.
Each recurring email will include an unsubscribe link. You may also ask us to stop by using the Contact page.
Requesting a guide does not add you to recurring email. The guide request and recurring Letter choice are presented separately.
We do not use an unsubscribe request as a reason to remove records that are needed to prove and respect that request.
7. Cookies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Required cookies may be used to:
- Maintain a secure access session
- Remember a privacy or cookie choice
- Protect forms and site functions
- Deliver a feature you requested
A required access-session cookie may be used when a protected area or requested function needs it. It is not used for advertising.
See the Cookie Notice for more information.
8. Service providers
We may use service providers for:
- Website hosting
- Security
- Form handling
- Email delivery
- File delivery
- Technical support
- Legal, accounting, or professional support
These providers may process personal information only as needed to provide their service, follow our instructions, meet their own legal duties, and protect their systems.
We record the providers used for hosting, forms, email, files, and security, together with their processing locations and applicable terms.
9. When information may be disclosed
We may disclose personal information:

10. International processing
Some service providers may process information outside your province, state, or country. Privacy laws in another place may differ from the laws where you live, and lawful authorities there may have access rights.
Website, email, form, and file providers are recorded before they process personal information.
11. How long we keep information
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably needed for the stated purpose, a legal duty, security, dispute handling, or the protection of rights.
Retention may differ by record. For example:
- Active subscriber records are kept while the subscription remains active.
- Unsubscribe records may be kept to respect the request.
- Contact messages may be kept while the request is open and for a reasonable record period afterward.
- Security logs may be kept for a shorter technical period.
- Permission and approval records may be kept while related content remains in use.
We use a written retention schedule suited to each record type.
12. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
No website, email, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. Please use the Contact page to report a suspected privacy or security problem and avoid sending sensitive information through ordinary email.

14. Children’s privacy
The website is designed for adults and is not directed to children.
If you are below the age at which you may provide your own valid consent where you live, do not submit personal information without the permission required by local law.
If we learn that personal information was collected from a child in a way that does not meet applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.
15. External links
The website may link to external websites or a separately operated professional service. Their privacy practices may differ from ours. Review the privacy information on the site you visit.
16. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website, service providers, or legal duties change.

Optional Google Analytics
If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics to measure page visits, referral sources, successful newsletter submissions, workbook download clicks and workbook PDF saves. We do not send your name, email address, form responses, quiz answers or written workbook notes to Google Analytics. Saving a workbook does not send its contents to us.
Google Analytics uses cookies beginning with _ga to distinguish browsers. We set their lifetime to six months and keep your analytics choice in your browser for six months. Google processes usage and device information and may process it outside Canada. Advertising personalization is disabled.
Analytics starts only after you accept. You can decline or withdraw your choice using Analytics settings in the footer. The site and its resources remain available either way. Withdrawal stops future collection and removes Google Analytics cookies; it does not delete information already collected.
