1. Corporate Structure and Data Controller Mapping

True North Digital Network Inc. operates as a parent corporate entity managing a diversified network of regional media directories, web design and engineering trade names (including The Design Works), community resource portals, and localized web properties.

For all assets within our network ecosystem, True North Digital Network Inc. acts as the master data controller. Personal information collected through our distinct subsidiary brands or specialized project intake channels is consolidated, managed, and secured under the central administrative governance of the Corporation as outlined in this Policy.

2. Collection of Corporate, Technical, and Network Information

You can explore our corporate landing page without revealing your personal identity or transmitting specific contact records.

However, we collect explicit personal and technical data points when you interact with our administrative frameworks, complete corporate consultation forms, or register accounts within our broader digital network. This data may include:

  • Corporate Contact Coordinates: Your name, business email address, phone number, and physical mailing coordinates.
  • Technical Asset Records: Domain names, business classification metadata, and configuration parameters provided during development consultations.
  • Network Ingestion Logs: Your IP address, device operating system, browser configuration, traffic patterns, and navigation metrics harvested automatically upon server contact.

3. Purpose of Processing and Network Management

The Corporation processes collected information strictly to support our business operations, maintain network stability, and fulfill legal compliance, including:

  • Providing, managing, and optimizing web development services under our registered trade names.
  • Maintaining, updating, and operating regional information and directory networks.
  • Authenticating user profiles, processing administrative invoices, and managing domain asset registries.
  • Defending our hosting infrastructure from malicious cyberattacks, scraping bots, and server-level abuse.
  • Complying with statutory tax reporting, corporate tracking, and legal obligations within Ontario, Canada.

4. Data Sharing Boundaries and Subsidiary Disclosures

To protect your privacy to the fullest extent, the Corporation does not sell, trade, rent, or lease your personal identification records or corporate data to external third-party marketing companies or advertising networks.

Information is only shared internally across our corporate subsidiaries and registered trade names to fulfill your design, hosting, or directory requirements. We disclose information to external Service Providers (such as secure cloud computing nodes, performant web hosting systems, or payment processors) strictly as required to maintain our daily operations. All such infrastructure partners are contractually bound to treat your data with equivalent confidentiality.

5. Cross-Border Data Storage and Infrastructure Routing

All personal and technical records are processed and managed primarily within secure infrastructure nodes located in Canada and the United States. Where information is moved or routed across international jurisdictions, the Corporation ensures that appropriate technical safeguards and data security standards are implemented to preserve your privacy rights.

6. Canadian Privacy Safeguards (PIPEDA Compliance)

As an incorporated entity in Ontario, Canada, the Corporation operates in strict alignment with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). You maintain clear rights regarding your personal records:

  • The right to request transparent access to the personal data we maintain.
  • The right to demand prompt updates or corrections to any obsolete or inaccurate information.
  • The right to challenge our compliance framework or file a formal inquiry directly with our corporate administration or the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

7. Analytics, Security Monitoring, and Cookies

To track network stability, evaluate traffic loads, and improve layout interfaces, our Website utilizes functional cookies and secure analytical scripts. These tracking modules log generalized technical metrics (such as page viewing durations and loading latencies) but do not cross-reference or link individual visitor identities with general system performance files.

8. Corporate Asset Transitions and Business Disclosures

In the event that True North Digital Network Inc. undergoes a structural business transition—such as a merger, corporate reorganization, acquisition by another entity, or a formal sale of specific network assets—user information, client intake databases, and technical registry configurations will likely be included among the transferred corporate assets.

9. Acceptance of this Policy

By navigating truenorthdigitalnetwork.ca, engaging with our corporate communication forms, or accessing platforms hosted under our corporate control, you explicitly consent to the administrative handling and security processing of your data as outlined in this contract.
