Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026. Effective for all readers, patrons, and subscribers across klenfi.pro.
1. Overview and Data Controller
This Privacy Policy governs the processing of personal information collected by klenfi ("we", "us", or "our"), operating from 150 Elgin Street, Suite 800, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, Canada. Contact email: [email protected]. We comply with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and international privacy frameworks.
2. Information We Collect
We believe in radical data minimization. We only collect:
- Direct Correspondence Information: Your name, email address, and message contents when you contact our desk or subscribe to patron access.
- Technical Transmission Logs: Basic server logs containing IP addresses, user-agent strings, and timestamp logs strictly necessary for system security and DDoS mitigation.
- Subscriber Billing Records: Records of patron fee payments (190 EUR/year) maintained for statutory accounting and invoicing compliance.
3. Google Advertising Tag and Consent Mode v2
Our website includes a site-wide Google Ads script identifier (Tag: AW-18497204795). In accordance with Google Consent Mode v2 standards:
- By default upon page visit, all advertising storage, user data, and ad personalization permissions are set to DENIED (
'ad_storage': 'denied', 'ad_user_data': 'denied', 'ad_personalization': 'denied'). - No non-essential advertising cookies or profiling identifiers are stored until and unless you explicitly click "Accept Measurement" in our cookie banner.
- If you choose "Decline All", advertising measurement remains strictly denied and no ad-tracking cookies are activated.
- You may clear your browser cookies and localStorage at any time to reset your consent preference.
4. Disclosure of Information
klenfi does not sell, rent, or trade reader data, email subscriber lists, or patron records to commercial brokers, data aggregators, or marketing networks. Information is disclosed only when required by court subpoena or statutory law under Canadian federal jurisdiction.
5. Journalistic Exemption & Source Confidentiality
Information collected strictly in the course of investigative journalism is protected by recognized journalistic privilege and constitutional protections under Canadian law. Confidential source identities are not processed as routine commercial data.
6. Your Rights
Under PIPEDA and applicable data protection legislation, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections, or request deletion of non-statutory records. To exercise these rights, email [email protected].
