In this policy, “City & Tempo,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to City & Tempo, based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it for a stated purpose.

Information Collected Automatically

Our website and its service providers may collect technical and usage information, including:

  • IP address and approximate location derived from it.
  • Browser, device type and operating system.
  • Pages visited, referring websites and interactions with content.
  • Dates, times and duration of visits.
  • Cookie identifiers and privacy preferences.

Some of this information may identify you or be associated with your device.

2. How We Use Information

We use personal information for the purposes explained when we collect it, including to:

  • Operate, maintain and secure the website.
  • Respond to enquiries and editorial submissions.
  • Deliver communications you request.
  • Understand readership and improve our content and website.
  • Manage advertising, affiliate relationships and commercial enquiries.
  • Detect spam, fraud and technical problems.
  • Record and respect privacy preferences.
  • Meet applicable legal obligations.

Where we wish to use information for a new purpose, we will provide notice and obtain consent when required.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Websites may also use pixels, local storage and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure activity and support advertising.

Depending on the services enabled, our website may use:

  • Essential technologies: Support security, basic functionality and privacy settings.
  • Preference technologies: Remember choices you make.
  • Analytics technologies: Help us understand how visitors use the website.
  • Advertising and affiliate technologies: Measure advertising, attribute referrals and, where enabled, support personalised advertising.

[Insert a link to your cookie settings and an accurate cookie list showing providers, purposes and durations.]

Where required, we request consent before activating non-essential technologies. You can change your choices through [insert the location of your privacy controls].

You can also manage cookies through your browser. Blocking certain cookies may affect website features. Removing cookies does not necessarily stop every form of tracking.

4. Google Analytics

City & Tempo uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our website. These insights help us improve our city guides, editorial content, navigation and website performance.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

  • Pages viewed and interactions with website content.
  • Referring websites and traffic sources.
  • Browser, device type and operating system.
  • Approximate geographic location.
  • Cookie identifiers and session information.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies, subject to your privacy choices and applicable consent requirements. Although online identifiers may constitute personal information, we do not intentionally send names, email addresses or other directly identifying information to Google Analytics.

Google states that Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses. IP addresses may be processed during collection to derive approximate geographic information.

Where required, we obtain consent before using non-essential analytics technologies. You can review or change your choices through [insert the exact name and location of your website’s privacy settings control].

For more information, visit:

The browser add-on provides an additional way to prevent supported Google Analytics website activity from being shared with Google Analytics. It does not control other website services or advertising technologies.

Our Google Analytics user-level and event-level data retention period is [insert your configured retention period]. Aggregated reporting data may remain available for longer.

5. Google AdSense and Advertising

City & Tempo uses Google AdSense to display advertisements that support our independent editorial content.

Google and other advertising vendors may use cookies, pixels, IP addresses and similar technologies to deliver advertisements, measure their performance, prevent fraud and, where permitted, personalise advertising.

Google’s advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to display advertisements based on your visits to this website and other websites. Depending on your location, these activities are subject to your consent or applicable opt-out rights.

You can learn more about these practices through:

You can manage personalised advertising preferences through Google My Ad Center. These preferences do not replace the privacy choices available on our website.

To review or change your choices for City & Tempo, select [insert the exact name and location of your cookie/privacy settings control].

Our consent settings identify the advertising partners and purposes relevant to your choices. Declining personalised advertising does not necessarily remove all advertisements.

6. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Bookings

Some articles and guides may contain affiliate links. If you follow one of these links and make an eligible purchase or booking, City & Tempo may earn a commission.

Affiliate partners may use tracking technologies to attribute referrals. Depending on the programme, we may receive reports containing referral identifiers, transaction values and commission information.

When you purchase or book through another website, that business handles the information you provide under its own privacy policy. Please review its terms before completing a transaction.

7. External Links, Feeds and Embedded Content

Our website may link to tourism organisations, publications, booking platforms, retailers and other third parties. It may also display embedded maps, videos, news feeds or event listings.

Some embedded services communicate with their providers when content loads. They may collect technical information or use tracking technologies, subject to applicable consent requirements.

External websites have their own privacy practices. A link from City & Tempo does not mean this policy applies to that website.

8. When We Share Information

We may disclose personal information:

  • To providers supporting hosting, security, communications, analytics and other website operations.
  • To advertising or affiliate partners as described above.
  • When you authorise us to do so.
  • Where required or permitted by law, including to respond to valid legal requests.
  • In connection with a business transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections and applicable legal requirements.

Service providers should receive only the information needed for their work and be subject to appropriate privacy and security obligations.

9. Processing Outside Your Country

Our providers may store or process personal information outside your province or country, including in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand.

Information processed elsewhere may be accessible to courts, law enforcement or other authorities under local laws. Where required, we use appropriate contractual or other safeguards for international transfers.

Contact us for information about our providers and relevant safeguards.

10. Retention and Security

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, security and dispute-resolution requirements.

We use safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. However, no online transmission or storage system is completely secure.

When information is no longer required, we delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it appropriately.

11. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:

  • Request access to your personal information.
  • Request corrections.
  • Withdraw consent, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.
  • Request deletion or limits on certain processing.
  • Object to certain uses or request a portable copy of information.
  • Opt out of certain advertising-related disclosures.
  • Complain to a privacy regulator.

These rights are subject to applicable conditions and exceptions. To make a request, contact hello@cityandtempo.com.

We may need to verify your identity before responding. Please provide only the information necessary for verification.

12. Children’s Privacy
