Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 30, 2026
Portal Creek (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the website located at https://portalcreek.ca (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
We use a “Privacy by Design” approach. Our primary objective is to provide interactive utilities and tools without harvesting, tracking, or storing your personal information.

  1. Information Collection and Use

A. Interactive Tools Data (Episodic Processing)

Our Service provides various web-based tools and calculators.

  • No Retention: Any text, variables, numbers, or data you input into these tools are processed in real-time execution memory (RAM) solely to generate the requested output.
  • Immediate Discard: We do not log, cache, or save your inputs to any database, persistent storage medium, or server file. Once you close your browser tab or complete the execution, that data is permanently destroyed.

B. Automatically Collected Technical Log Data

Like most website operators, our hosting servers automatically log standard, non-identifying technical information transmitted by your browser whenever you visit our website. This may include:

  • Your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address
  • Browser type and browser version
  • The pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on those pages
  • Other diagnostic data
    This data is strictly utilized by our infrastructure provider for security auditing, firewall maintenance, and preventing malicious denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. It is never linked to the inputs of our interactive tools.

C. Cookies and Tracking

  • Our Policy: We do not deploy marketing, tracking, or profiling cookies to monitor your behavior across the web.
  • Functional Cookies: Essential session cookies may be utilized by the underlying Content Management System (WordPress) to ensure basic site navigation, page loading, and functional security. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, though some portions of the site may lose basic stability.
  1. Legal Basis for Processing

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Canada, our legal basis for processing any temporary transient data is Legitimate Interests—specifically, delivering the immediate, real-time functional output of the tool you have voluntarily interacted with.

  1. Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, rent, or lease any user data to third parties. Because we do not store personal data, there is no data inventory available to monetize or distribute.
We may only disclose server log data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency) to maintain cybersecurity infrastructure.

  1. Security of Data

The security of your data is highly important to us. We employ commercial-grade Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) encryption to secure the pipeline between your browser and our servers. This ensures that when you type data into our tools, it is encrypted in transit to prevent interception by third parties. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic processing, is 100% secure.

  1. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe or PIPEDA in Canada), you hold specific statutory rights regarding personal data.
Because we do not collect or store your personal data, we cannot provide you with copies of your data, nor can we delete it upon request, as no such records exist in our systems. If you believe your IP address has been erroneously logged by our firewall infrastructure and wish to inspect server audit logs, please reach out via the contact information below.

  1. Children’s Privacy

Our Service does not target or knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data through server interactions, please contact us so we can verify our server firewalls remain cleared of persistent information.

  1. Compliance with Google Verification and API Policies

This Privacy Policy is expressly structured to comply with Google’s User Data Policies, including Developer Terms of Service and OAuth API Verification standards. Our web applications ensure absolute transparency by processing all transaction variables strictly within the scope of the user-initiated session.

  1. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
