Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We collect publicly available business information, submitted contact details for verification requests, and provenance metadata generated through crawling and review workflows.

How We Use Information

Contact details submitted for verification are used for identity validation and communication regarding review status. We may use automated tools and manual processes to corroborate submitted and discovered information.

Data Retention

We retain submission records and verification logs for auditing, transparency, and provenance tracking. Retention periods may vary depending on operational and legal requirements.

Public vs Private Data

Business facts may be displayed publicly. Personal contact information submitted for verification is not publicly displayed unless explicitly consented and required for a public business record.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect submitted data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Jurisdiction

This policy is governed by applicable Canadian privacy legislation.

Questions about privacy can be directed through the verification request form or via the Orca Pings website.
