Our Commitment to Privacy

The RM of Reynolds is committed to protecting the privacy of our residents and visitors. This policy outlines how we handle information.

Information We Collect

We collect information through two primary methods to ensure our website is secure, functional, and helpful to the community.

Active Data (Forms & Accounts):

  • Contact Forms: When you submit a “Report a Problem” or contact the RM, we collect your name, contact details, and the contents of your message. These forms also record your IP address to verify the submission and prevent fraudulent activity.
  • User Accounts: Residents who create accounts to manage community events provide a username, email, and profile details.

Passive Technical Data:

  • To maintain the security and performance of the website, our server automatically logs connection data, including your IP address. This information is used to defend against cyber threats and is automatically purged after 90 days.
  • Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., which pages are most popular). We have configured this tool to exclude advertising features; it is used strictly for municipal website optimization.

How We Use This Information

The RM of Reynolds uses your data solely for the following purposes:

  • To respond to service requests and inquiries.
  • To allow residents to manage their own community event listings.
  • To protect the website from unauthorized access or malicious attacks.
  • To improve website navigation based on aggregated, non-identifiable user trends.

Data Control and Deletion

We believe you should have control over your personal information:

  • Self-Service Deletion: Users with registered accounts have the option to delete their own accounts and all associated profile information directly through the website at any time.
  • Form Data: If you wish to request the removal of information submitted through a contact form, please contact the RM office.
  • Third-Party Tools: We use Google reCAPTCHA V3 to prevent spam. You can opt out of broader analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Data Security

We employ industry-standard security measures, including data encryption (SSL) and digital firewalls, to protect your information from unauthorized access, collection, or use. The RM of Reynolds does not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
