Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 25, 2026

This policy explains what information Maple Wire News ("Maple Wire", "we") collects when you visit maplewire.news, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you use our Contact form, we collect the email address and message you submit, plus your name if you choose to provide it. We use this only to read and respond to your message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers collect technical information such as your browser type, device type, approximate location (country or city level), pages viewed, and referring website. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.

Preferences stored on your device. We store settings such as your language choice in your browser so the site remembers them. These are not sent to us.

Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect usage information only after you choose Accept in our cookie banner. If you reject optional cookies, analytics will not load. You can change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer. You can learn how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising

Maple Wire may display advertising in the future to help cover the costs of running the site. If we do, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of many third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info/choices or youradchoices.ca.

Links to news sources

Maple Wire shows headlines and summaries from other publishers and links to their websites. When you click through, you leave Maple Wire and that publisher's own privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for their practices.

How we use and share information

We use information to operate and improve the site, respond to messages, and keep the site secure. We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us run the site (such as hosting and analytics), or when required by law.

Retention and security

We keep Contact form messages only as long as needed to respond and for our records, and we use reasonable safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under Canadian privacy law and, for visitors in Europe, the GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain uses. To make a request, contact us through our Contact page.

Children

Maple Wire is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed.
