Your privacy, plainly explained

Last updated: June 2026

The short version

Guidepost does not store your questionnaire answers. When you fill out a questionnaire and generate a PDF, your information is used to create the document and then immediately discarded — nothing is saved to a database or server. We don't create accounts, we don't sell data, and we don't use cookies for anything other than basic site analytics.

What information we collect

Questionnaire data: When you fill out a Guidepost questionnaire (for example, to generate a car bill of sale), you enter personal information such as names, addresses, vehicle details, and dates. This information is sent to our server only to generate your PDF document. It is not logged, not stored in a database, and not retained after your document is created. Once your browser downloads the PDF, the server discards all input.

Guidepost does not collect your Social Insurance Number. Where a SIN is required on a form (for example, the CRA's T2201), your generated document leaves a blank space for you to fill in by hand — so your SIN never passes through, or is stored by, Guidepost.

Analytics: We use basic, privacy-respecting analytics to understand which guides are most used and how users navigate the site. This does not involve tracking individuals and does not include personally identifiable information. We do not use Google Analytics.

Contact emails: If you email us directly (e.g., at guidepost.ca@icloud.com), we retain that correspondence to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

Cookies

Guidepost uses your browser's localStorage to remember that you have acknowledged our legal disclaimer. This preference does not track you across sites, does not contain personal information, and is stored on your device only. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels.

Third parties

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Period.

Our site is hosted on infrastructure that may log standard server access records (IP addresses, request timestamps) for security purposes. These logs are retained for a limited period and are not used for marketing or profiling.

PIPEDA compliance

Guidepost operates in Canada and is subject to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Because we collect minimal personal information and do not retain questionnaire data, our compliance obligations under PIPEDA are limited. You have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you, and to request correction or deletion. Given our minimal data collection, in most cases we will have nothing to provide — but please contact us and we will confirm.

Canada's privacy legislation is evolving. Bill C-27 (Consumer Privacy Protection Act) has been introduced to replace PIPEDA. Guidepost will update this policy as new legislation is enacted. Our core commitment — minimal data collection, no retention of personal information — will not change.

Children's privacy

Guidepost is intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
