Privacy Policy

1. Accountable party

The party responsible for the protection of personal information for this service is Court Central.
Contact: contact@court-central.ca.

2. Information we collect

• Email address, only if you opt into email alerts. It is activated only after you confirm it (double opt-in) and is used exclusively to send the alerts you requested.
• Anonymous technical token (a random identifier stored in your browser): it links your alerts to your device. It is not associated with your name, email, or identity.
• Push subscription (if you enable notifications): the technical address your browser provides to deliver push messages.
• Aggregated usage statistics: daily counters (visits, page views, sport and area browsed, device type, language, traffic source). No individual profile is built.
• Messages sent through the form (and the reply email if you provide one).
• IP address, transiently: held in memory for a few minutes for rate limiting and abuse prevention, then automatically purged. It is not written to our data store. The hosting provider may keep standard technical logs.

3. What we do not collect

• No accounts, no passwords.
• No tracking cookies, no advertising trackers, no third-party ad networks.
• Your location (the "Locate me" button on the map) is processed on your device and never sent to our servers.
• No selling or renting of personal information, to anyone.

4. Purposes and consent

We use this information for one thing: providing the service you ask for (showing availability, sending the alerts you created, answering your messages, keeping the service running). The basis is your consent: every collection follows a voluntary action on your part, and you can withdraw it at any time (section 7).

5. Disclosure to third parties

• Railway (hosting of the server and data): servers are located in the United States; the information described above may therefore be stored outside Québec.
• Resend (email delivery): receives the destination address at send time.
• Map and weather providers (OpenFreeMap, Open-Meteo): when the map or weather is displayed, your browser sends them standard technical requests (which include your IP address), as with any web content.

No other sharing. The availability shown comes from the City of Montréal's public sources.

6. Retention

• Alert email: kept as long as your alert exists; deleted with it. If you unsubscribe, the address is placed on an exclusion list (to honour your choice), and the confirmed address is kept so we never ask you to confirm again; write to us for full erasure.
• Alerts: they expire automatically on their date; recurring alerts live until you delete them.
• Statistics: aggregated, with no individual identifier.
• Form messages: kept for the time needed to handle them.

7. Your rights

You may request access to, rectification or deletion of information about you, and withdraw your consent at any time: write to contact@court-central.ca. Every alert email contains a one-click unsubscribe link. Alerts can be deleted directly in the app ("My alerts").

8. Security

HTTPS encryption, data minimisation (we collect only what is described here), double opt-in for email, restricted access to data.

9. Minors

The service is intended for the general public and does not target the collection of information from minors.

10. Changes and complaints

Any change to this policy will be posted on this page with its date. If you believe your rights are not being respected, you may file a complaint with the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec.
