Privacy Policy

Overview

Idea Warehouse ("we", "us") operates the website www.ideawarehouse.ca. This policy explains what data we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and what choices you have.

Analytics

We use two analytics tools to understand how people use our site:

• Matomo is a self-hosted analytics platform running on our own servers at analytics.ideawarehouse.ca. Because we host it ourselves, your analytics data never leaves our infrastructure and is not shared with any third party. Matomo collects information like pages visited, referring sites, browser type, and general location (country/region level). We also use Matomo Tag Manager to manage how tracking scripts load on the site.
• Google Analytics is a third-party service provided by Google. It collects similar usage data and processes it on Google's servers. Google's privacy policy applies to that data. You can learn more at policies.google.com/privacy.

Cookies

Both Matomo and Google Analytics use cookies to distinguish unique visitors and track sessions. These are small text files stored in your browser. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Opting Out

If you prefer not to be tracked, you have a few options:

• Enable the "Do Not Track" setting in your browser. Matomo respects this signal automatically.
• Use a browser extension like uBlock Origin to block analytics scripts.
• For Google Analytics specifically, you can install Google's opt-out browser add-on.

Contact and Meeting Requests

We don't collect personal information beyond what the analytics tools gather automatically, unless you send it to us. When you use the contact form, the meeting request form on the AI Website Management page or the request form on the AI Idea Gameplan page, we receive what you enter: your name, email address and message, plus for meeting requests your organization, website, interests, platform and availability, and for Gameplan requests a description of your idea, its stage, who will build it and your availability. We also record the date you agreed to be contacted and any campaign tags in the link you followed.

Submissions are delivered to us by email through Resend, an email delivery service, and may also be kept as a backup on our own server. We use this information only to respond to you and follow up on your request. We keep it for up to 12 months unless we end up working together, and we never sell it or add you to a mailing list. Your IP address is used only in hashed form to limit spam, and form contents are never sent to our analytics tools. To have your information deleted, email us at the address below.
