Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 25, 2026
In plain English
- You can read every article on this site without creating an account or handing over personal information.
- We collect basic traffic data (via Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics) to understand which posts are useful — never sold, never used for advertising.
- If you email us, we keep your address only to reply. Nothing more.
- No ad networks and no advertising trackers. Google Analytics may set analytics cookies unless you decline in the cookie notice (visitors in the UK/EU are only tracked after they accept).
SmallSpaceHome.ca ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains, in full, how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website.
Information We Collect
We don't ask you to create an account or hand over personal information to read our content. The only information we collect is:
- Analytics data — page views, time on site, and general geographic region, collected through Vercel Analytics (no cookies) and Google Analytics 4 (which may use cookies and pseudonymous identifiers; you can decline in the cookie notice)
- Contact information — if you email us directly, we keep your address so we can reply
How We Use Your Information
We use the information above for three things, and nothing beyond them:
- Understanding which content is genuinely useful to our readers
- Improving the site and the reading experience
- Replying to messages and inquiries you send us
Third-Party Services
We keep our third-party footprint small. The services we rely on are:
- Vercel — website hosting, delivery, and privacy-friendly analytics
- Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager — aggregate traffic measurement. We do not use Google advertising features or share data for advertising.
- Microsoft Clarity — anonymised session recordings and heatmaps, loaded only if you click Accept in the cookie notice.
Vercel has its own privacy policy governing how it processes this data on our behalf.
Cookies
We show a one-time cookie notice so you can choose whether you're comfortable with that. Your choice (accepted or declined) is remembered on your device using local browser storage — this is a preference marker, not a tracking cookie, and it isn't shared with anyone. Vercel Analytics measures traffic without cookies. Google Analytics may set cookies to measure visits; click Decline in the cookie notice to stop it. In the UK/EU, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity only store cookies after you click Accept. We do not use your data for advertising or track you across other websites.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your Rights (Canada)
Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal information we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, reach out using the contact details below.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back occasionally.
