Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Beatrice Wilson Health Centre ("we," "us," or "our") operates Opaskwayak Health Authority (the "App"), a mobile application available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and as well as our website located at beatricewilsonhealthcentre.ca (the "Website"). The App and the Website are collectively referred to as our "Services".

This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use any of our services. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling any information in compliance with applicable Canadian privacy laws, and provincial health privacy legislation.

2. Who This Policy Applies To

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of our services, including children. The App is rated for all audiences and is suitable for users of all ages. The Website is also publicly accessible and intended for general community use. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children or any other users beyond what is described in this policy.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

We are committed to your privacy. Our services do not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:

• Your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal identifiers
• Location data or GPS information
• Device contacts, photos, camera, or microphone data
• Health records or personal medical information
• Account credentials or passwords
• Any information you enter into our services

The App and Website require no user registration or login. You can use our services without providing any personal information to us.

4. Information That Is Collected

4.1 Notification Permissions (App Only)

To deliver health and community notifications to your device, the App requests permission to send push notifications. Your decision to allow or deny this permission is processed entirely by your device operating system (iOS or Android). We do not receive or store any personal information as part of this process. You may change your notification preferences at any time through your device settings.

4.2 Google Analytics

Google Analytics is used on our Website and within the web based content embedded in the App to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data about how our Services are accessed. This data may include:

• Pages or screens viewed within the web content
• General geographic region (country or province level only)
• Device type and operating system
• Duration of session and general usage patterns

This information is collected in aggregate and anonymized form. Google Analytics does not identify you as an individual. The data is used solely to understand how our services are being used so we can improve the experience for our community.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. You can learn more about how Google uses this data at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

5. How We Use Information

The limited and anonymized information described above is used exclusively to:

• Deliver community health and public notifications to your device
• Understand aggregate usage patterns of our services to improve functionality
• Ensure our services are performing properly for the community

We do not use any information for advertising, marketing, profiling, or any commercial purposes.

6. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share personal information with third parties. The only third-party service used is Google Analytics, which processes anonymized and aggregated web usage data as described in Section 4.2. No personal health information is shared with any third party.

7. Children's Privacy

This App is rated for all audiences and is designed to be safe for users of all ages, including children. Because our services do not collect any personal information from any users, no special measures beyond those described in this policy are required for children's use. Parents and guardians can feel confident that our services do not gather, store, or transmit any personal information from their children.

8. Data Retention

Because we do not collect personal information, there is no personal data for us to retain or delete. Anonymized and aggregated analytics data held by Google Analytics is subject to Google's own data retention policies.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the integrity of our services and their content. Since no personal information is collected or stored by us, the risk of a personal data breach is minimized. Notification delivery is handled securely by Apple and Google's respective notification infrastructure.

10. Your Rights

Under Canadian privacy law, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. Since we do not collect personal information, there is no personal data held by us that you would need to access or delete.

If you have questions about data processed by Google Analytics, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy and their data access tools.

11. Third-Party Services

Our services may display content from or links to external websites or services. This Privacy Policy applies only to our services itself. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party websites or services you may access through our services.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
