Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 18, 2026
Alberta Events Buzz (“we”, “us”) operates albertaeventsbuzz.ca. This policy explains what information is involved when you use the site, in plain language. The short version: you never need an account to browse, we collect personal information only in a few specific places (event submissions and the newsletter), and we never sell personal information. We handle personal information in line with Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).
Information stored on your own device
When you save events to My List or follow venues or cities, those choices are stored only in your own browser’s local storage on your device. They are never transmitted to us. Clearing your browser data deletes them. The site also uses a service worker to cache the app on your device so it loads quickly and works like an installed app; this cache stays on your device.
Event submissions
If you submit an event through our Add Event form, we receive the details you send: your name and email address, the event information, and any flyer or image file you attach. Submissions are stored on Cloudflare (the submission record, and uploaded flyers in file storage) so that we can review the event, publish it if it fits the catalogue, and contact you about your submission. We use your email only for that purpose — submitting an event does not add you to any mailing list.
Newsletter — The Weekend Buzz
Our free Friday newsletter, The Weekend Buzz, is being set up. If you subscribe — including by emailing us and asking to be added — your email address is kept only to send you the newsletter. Subscribing is your express consent to receive it, as required by Canada’s anti-spam law (CASL). You can unsubscribe at any time by emailing [email protected], and every issue will include an unsubscribe link once the list launches. We never sell or rent our subscriber list.
Analytics and click counts
We keep anonymous click counts on the site itself — for example, how many times a “Book tickets” or “Find ticket page” button was tapped in total. These are aggregate numbers with no name, account, or profile attached, and they involve no cookies and no tracking across other websites. We see statistics only — never a profile of an individual visitor.
Advertising
This site displays clearly labelled advertising. Our advertising partners, including Google AdSense (once enabled), may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies at aboutads.info/choices.
Affiliate links (hotels)
Event pages include a “Stay near this event” hotel section provided by Stay22. If you interact with it or book a hotel through it, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Stay22 and the booking sites it connects to (such as Booking.com and Expedia) may use cookies and collect information under their own privacy policies, which govern your booking.
Ticket and event links
“Book tickets”, “Find ticket page”, parking, and calendar links take you to third-party websites (ticket sellers, organizers, Google Maps, Google Calendar). Those sites have their own privacy policies and terms, and any purchase you make is with them — not with Alberta Events Buzz.
If you email us
If you send feedback to [email protected], we receive your email address and message. We use them only to read and respond to your feedback, and we do not add you to any mailing list.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for. Event submissions are kept while they are relevant to the catalogue and our correspondence about them. Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. You can ask us to delete your information at any time — see “Your choices and rights” below.
Your choices and rights
Under Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), you may ask us what personal information we hold about you, and request that it be corrected or deleted. Email [email protected] and we will respond. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, and you can clear anything stored on your own device (My List, follows, and preferences) at any time by clearing your browser data.
Children
The site lists family events, but browsing never requires personal information, and our forms and newsletter are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date above.
