Privacy Policy

CanCams (“we”, “our”, “the website”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling information responsibly. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the safeguards we apply when you browse or use this website.

Information We Collect

You can use this website without creating an account or submitting personal details. To keep the site running securely and efficiently, limited technical and aggregated information may be collected automatically, including:

• Browser and device information (e.g., browser version, operating system)
• Approximate region and language preference
• Anonymous usage metrics (e.g., page views, load performance)
• Server logs with basic request details (e.g., IP address, timestamp, response status)
• Anonymous usage statistics through analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics)

IP addresses in server logs are used only for security, maintenance, and debugging. We do not use them to identify individuals.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use only essential cookies or browser-based storage to improve usability, such as:

• Language and display preferences
• Your list of favourite cameras
• Simple interface settings (e.g., list or grid view)

You may disable or clear cookies and site data in your browser. Some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Public Data Sources and Maps

Camera images and related data presented here are derived from publicly available sources provided by Canadian public bodies. All rights to the original data remain with their respective providers. We may also use third-party map layers (e.g., OpenStreetMap) to display locations.

How We Use Information

The information described above is used solely for:

• Maintaining site stability and security
• Improving performance and usability
• Understanding aggregated, non-identifying usage trends

We do not build personal profiles or conduct individualized tracking.

Data Retention and Security

We apply data minimization and reasonable technical and organizational safeguards. Server logs are retained only for a limited period for maintenance and security review before deletion or anonymization. Preferences stored in your browser remain on your device and can be cleared at any time.
