Last updated: 2026-10-02.
Identity and Role of the Data Controller
breakinixel.com operates this commercial website focused on modern culture and the people shaping everyday life. We act as the data controller under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Our registered address is 1818 Cornwall Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia V6J 1C7, Canada. We determine the purposes and means of processing personal information collected through the site. Telephone contact is available at 1-877-263-9300.
Scope of This Notice and the People It Covers
This privacy policy applies to all visitors and users of the website located in Canada or accessing services from within Canada. It covers personal information collected when you browse pages, submit the contact form, or interact with any features. The policy does not apply to third-party websites linked from our content, as we have no control over their practices.
Categories of Personal Data and Sources
We collect contact details such as name and phone number when voluntarily provided through the contact form. Usage data including IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited is obtained automatically through server logs. No data is purchased from external brokers. Information is sourced directly from you or generated by your interactions with the site.
Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Basis
Personal information is processed to respond to contact form inquiries under the legal basis of legitimate interest in providing customer service. Usage data supports site functionality and security under the same basis. Analytics help improve content relevance under consent where required by Canadian e-commerce expectations. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary for the stated activity.
Whether Providing Data Is Required and Consequences
Providing contact details through the form is optional. You may browse the site without submitting any information. Refusing to provide details means we cannot respond to specific inquiries but does not prevent general access to public content. Mandatory fields are clearly indicated on the form.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The site uses essential cookies for basic functionality such as session management. Non-essential cookies for analytics may be deployed subject to your preferences. A site-wide cookie banner allows you to manage consent. Please refer to our separate Cookie Policy for detailed descriptions of each category and how to adjust settings.
Processors, Service-Provider Categories, Recipients, and Disclosures Required by Law
Service providers such as hosting platforms and form processing tools receive limited data solely to deliver contracted services. Categories include cloud infrastructure providers and security monitoring services. We may disclose information when required by Canadian law, court order, or regulatory request from authorities such as the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
International Transfers and Safeguards
Some service providers may be located outside Canada. When personal information is transferred, we rely on contractual safeguards and ensure recipients provide comparable protection consistent with PIPEDA requirements. You may request further details about specific transfer mechanisms by contacting us.
Specific Retention Periods or Criteria
Contact form data is retained for twelve months after the last interaction to allow follow-up and record-keeping. Server logs are kept for ninety days for security analysis. Data is deleted or anonymized once the retention period expires unless a longer period is required for legal obligations.
Security and Data-Minimisation Practices
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards including encryption in transit and access controls. Data collection is limited to what is necessary for the stated purposes. No absolute guarantee against breaches can be provided, but incidents are addressed promptly under our incident response procedures.
All Applicable Data-Subject Rights and Practical Exercise Method
Under PIPEDA you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. To exercise these rights, submit a written request using the contact form or by calling 1-877-263-9300. We will respond within thirty days as required. Verification of identity may be necessary before fulfilling requests.
Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Direct Marketing or Profiling
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by updating preferences through the cookie banner or contacting us. The site does not engage in direct marketing or automated profiling of users. Objections to any processing can be raised via the methods described above.
Right to Complain to the Competent Supervisory Authority
If you believe your rights have been infringed, you may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Contact details and procedures are available on their official website. We encourage you to first attempt resolution directly with us.
Children or Age Restrictions
The website content targets adults interested in modern culture. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under eighteen years of age. If we become aware of such collection, the data will be deleted promptly.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
No automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects occurs on this site. Simple analytics tools may generate aggregate reports but do not make individualized decisions about users.
Policy Changes and Effective Date
We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or business practices. The effective date appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Previous versions are not archived publicly.
