Effective date: April 2026  ·  OwnYourElectricity.com

This Privacy Policy explains how OwnYourElectricity.com (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our site.

What We Collect

Email address — only if you voluntarily submit the email signup form on our site. We use Kit (formerly ConvertKit) to store subscriber emails and send our newsletter. Your email is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing.

Usage data — we use privacy-first analytics (Plausible and Ahrefs) to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, general location, device type). This data is aggregated and does not use cross-site advertising cookies.

Cookies

Plausible and Ahrefs analytics are privacy-focused and aim to minimize tracking. They may set a small cookie to count unique visitors without building an advertising profile. You can opt out of analytics by:

  • Enabling “Do Not Track” in your browser settings
  • Using your browser’s built-in privacy/cookie controls
  • Blocking third-party scripts with a content blocker

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may use their own cookies and tracking technologies. We only recommend products and brands we believe are genuinely helpful for Ontario homeowners planning backup power.

Third-Party Services

Data Retention

We do not store personal data beyond what Kit retains for newsletter subscribers. Analytics data is aggregated and retained per each provider’s standard settings.

Your Rights

You can request deletion of any personal data we may hold by contacting us. We will respond within 30 days.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

Changes

We may update this policy occasionally. The effective date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
