Your privacy is critically important to us. We only collect a bare minimum of data necessary to improve Care to Speak Peer Support Services. All information collected is anonymized, and no personal information is collected or shared at any time. We store this anonymized visitor and website information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.

Information We Collect Automatically
This information collection occurs via the built-in analytics system of Google Analytics and Google Optimize, a website analytics service that we use to collect data from visits to https://careforcaregivers.ca/caretospeak/.
- Log Information. Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information. We collect log information when you visit https://careforcaregivers.ca/caretospeak/.
- Usage Information. We collect information about your usage of our website. For example, we collect information about the actions that visitors perform on https://careforcaregivers.ca/caretospeak/. We also collect information about what happens when you use the webpage (e.g., page views, button clicks) along with information about your device (e.g., mobile screen size, name of cellular network, and mobile device manufacturer). We use this information to, for example, provide our services to you, as well as get insights on how people use our website so that we can improve our services.
- Location Information. When you visit https://careforcaregivers.ca/caretospeak/, we may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address.

For instance, IP addresses are stored in the form of 192.168.xxx.xxx, that is, with the last six numbers anonymized. This prevents anyone with access to these data (including us) from reliably tracking down your exact location.

Our website uses cookies and other technologies like phone tracking to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences, track and understand webpage design effectiveness, and deliver the best possible content. For more information about our use of cookies and other technologies for tracking, including how you can control the use of cookies, please see here for information on WordPress.com.
