Privacy policy

Effective date: October 16, 2026

Great Canadian Baby Guide is operated by Alghazali Consulting Inc. This notice explains how information is handled at greatcanadianbabyguide.ca. For privacy questions or requests, contact our privacy contact at social@greatcanadianbabyguide.com.

What you can use without an account

You can browse products, compare options and answer the questionnaire without creating an account. The questionnaire uses your answers in your browser to build a starting checklist. Saving on your device is optional: it stores your checklist or unfinished questionnaire in that browser’s local storage. Anyone using the same browser may be able to see it. Clearing the site’s browser data removes those device copies; it does not delete a separate account copy.

What an account saves, and why

WordPress handles your account username, email address, display name and sign-in credentials. Account and password-recovery emails support registration and access. When you choose to save progress, the site stores your questionnaire answers, optional budget, lifestyle and space preferences, items you already own, preparation checks, product choices, unfinished draft and save history information such as revision numbers, dates and the person who last updated the list. We use this information to provide your checklist, resume progress across devices and avoid overwriting newer changes.

Your account currently holds one active checklist and an optional questionnaire draft. Importing a device checklist into an account is a separate choice. The questionnaire does not ask for your child’s name or date of birth; please do not send those details. The guide is intended for parents and adult caregivers.

Sharing with your partner is optional

A saved checklist is not a public page. If you invite a partner, we store their email address, the access level you select and invitation and acceptance records. If you choose the email option, the site sends the invitation to that address. The invited person must sign in using the invited email account and accept before receiving access.

Sharing includes your completed questionnaire answers and budget, what you already own, preparation checks and product choices. You choose view-only access or permission to update checks and product choices. Your unfinished draft, removed list and sharing controls remain yours to manage. Authorised site administrators retain maintenance access. You can revoke access, and a partner can leave. Revoking stops future access through the site but cannot remove screenshots, printouts or other copies the partner already kept.

Hosting, security and browser storage

Account and checklist information is stored on the site’s Rebel hosting. Authorised administrators and hosting or support providers may access information as needed to operate, maintain, secure and back up the service. We do not guarantee that every provider’s processing takes place only in Canada.

WordPress and hosting or security features use cookies and technical request information to support sign-in, sessions, delivery and protection of the site. Technical information may include IP addresses, requested pages, request times and browser information. Optional device saves use local storage as described above. Blocking cookies can prevent account sign-in; blocking local storage can prevent device saves. HTTPS protects information in transit, and account access and partner permissions limit access to saved progress.

Google advertising and your choices

Advertising update: October 20, 2026. Google AdSense code is installed to verify this site and, subject to Google's approval and our advertising settings, display ads. Installing the code does not mean that Google has approved the site.

Google and other third-party advertising vendors may use cookies, IP addresses, browser or device identifiers, and information about page visits to deliver ads, measure their performance and help prevent fraud. Google's advertising cookies can enable it and its partners to personalise ads based on visits to this and other websites. Learn more about how Google uses information from partner sites and Google's advertising technologies.

You can manage personalised Google ads through Google Ads Settings, and find choices for participating third-party vendors at YourAdChoices. These external controls have their own scope and may depend on your browser, device or sign-in status. Browser settings can also limit or remove cookies. Any consent messages shown when ads are served provide additional choices where applicable.

Our AdSense integration does not add questionnaire answers, budgets, account emails or sharing details as ad-targeting parameters. AdSense code is omitted from the questionnaire, account, saved-checklist, partner-sharing and gift-registry pages.

Retailer links and affiliate programs

Retailer, brand and social links open services with their own privacy practices. Those services may receive normal connection information when you visit them. We do not put your questionnaire answers, checklist contents or partner invitation details into retailer links.

No affiliate-commission links are active as of this notice’s effective date. If approved affiliate links are added, the affected links will be identified and the affiliate disclosure and relevant privacy information will be updated. A retailer or brand appearing in the catalogue does not mean it sponsors the guide.

Retention, removal and backups

Information is retained to provide account and sharing features and to operate and support the site. “Remove saved checklist and draft” removes them from your active saved progress and retains a recoverable copy; it is not a permanent-deletion request. Invitation records can remain after an invitation expires or access is revoked. Hosting backups and maintenance snapshots may also contain earlier copies.

To request permanent account or checklist deletion, email our privacy contact. We will verify that the request belongs to the account holder before handling it and explain any information that needs to remain, including relevant backup copies. There is no automatic deletion deadline stated here. Signing out or deleting a device copy does not close your account.

Access, corrections and privacy questions

You can review and update your questionnaire and checklist while signed in, and manage partner access on Partner Sharing. Email social@greatcanadianbabyguide.com to request access to your personal information, correct account information, request deletion, withdraw optional sharing, or raise a privacy concern. We may ask for information needed to verify account ownership. Please do not email passwords or invitation links.

Changes to this notice

We will update this page as the service or its information practices change and show the new effective date. Material new uses or sharing will be explained where you make the relevant choice.
