1. Scope and contact
This policy describes Maple Circuit’s website functionality and the enquiries you choose to send. For questions about the website or a privacy request, use [email protected]. The third-party business-centre telephone number and address displayed on the Contact page are not the website’s privacy contact.
2. Information you choose to provide
There is no registration, comment system, newsletter form or checkout on this site. Clicking an email link opens your chosen email application. An enquiry sent by email can contain your email address, name, message and any attachments you choose to include. Such information is intended for responding to your enquiry or investigating a correction, not for adding you to a marketing list.
The website itself does not transmit a contact form or send an email on your behalf. Your email provider and the recipient’s mail service process email under their own arrangements. Avoid including confidential or unnecessary personal information.
3. Browser storage and the privacy notice
When you select “Got it” on the privacy notice, the site attempts to save a preference in local storage under maple-circuit-privacy-v1. The record contains a notice version and an expiry timestamp. It is not an account identifier and is not transmitted to a server by this site’s code.
The preference is valid for 180 days. On a later visit after that period, the site removes the expired preference and shows the notice again. You can clear it sooner using your browser settings or the button below. If your browser blocks storage, the notice can still be dismissed for the current page, but may reappear on the next page.
Dismissal is an acknowledgement of this notice, not consent to advertising or marketing. You can reopen the notice using “Privacy notice” in the footer.
4. Search and filters
The technology directory filters a list already included with the site. It does not send a search request to a search provider. Search text and the selected topic are reflected in the page URL so they can be shared. Sorting stays in the current page’s memory.
Because a search term can appear in the address bar, it may also be stored in browser history or included in server request logs if the page is loaded or shared. Do not put personal or sensitive information into the search field.
5. Technical information and hosting
Delivering a website involves technical requests. A hosting, network or security provider may process IP addresses, request times, page addresses and browser information to serve and protect the site. The absence of client-side analytics does not mean that hosting logs are absent.
This version does not identify a specific live hosting provider or guarantee that processing takes place only in Canada. Provider location, logging and retention depend on the deployment and service arrangements. Contact the website email for information about an actual deployment.
6. External links
Reference links and the map link take you to third-party websites. Their privacy practices apply after you follow those links. Telephone links open your device’s calling application. The MaRS telephone number belongs to MaRS; an inquiry made to that organisation is not an inquiry submitted to Maple Circuit.
The delivered site serves its scripts, styles and concept illustrations locally. It does not load remote fonts, embedded videos, social-media widgets or remote image trackers. External references open in a new tab with referrer suppression.
7. Use, retention and requests
Information in enquiries should be limited to what is needed to respond, investigate a correction or address a related request. It should not be retained longer than necessary for those purposes and any applicable obligations. No fixed email-retention period or server-log period is asserted in this notice.
You may contact the website email to ask what enquiry information is held, request a correction or request deletion. A response depends on the records actually held, reasonable identity verification and any applicable obligations. Do not send identity documents unless a specific, appropriate verification method has been agreed.
8. Changes
If tracking tools, forms, subscriptions or other new data-processing features are introduced, this notice needs to be reviewed before they are enabled. The date at the top identifies this version; it is not a guarantee that third-party services have remained unchanged.
