Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 4, 2026

FilterNow (1001594900 Ontario Inc.) ("we", "us", or "our") operates an anonymous messaging platform headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We are committed to protecting user privacy and have designed the platform to limit the collection of personally identifiable information.

This Privacy Policy describes our data practices and should be read alongside our Terms of Service and Usage Policy.

We strive to comply with applicable privacy laws including PIPEDA, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other relevant regulations.

Information We Collect

For recipients:

• An encrypted email address, which serves as the primary personally identifiable information we collect from recipients for authentication and optional notifications.
• Profile attributes (Skills, Interests, Credentials, Locations, and Tags) — these are designed to be non-identifying categorical data.

For senders:

• Name and email address.
• Payment information (processed by our third-party payment provider, Stripe).

Generally for all users:

• Message content.
• Standard server logs and technical information (such as IP addresses and usage data) for security and platform operation.
• Session cookies for authentication.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to provide the service, ensure security, prevent abuse, process payments, and generate aggregate analytics.

Aggregate and Analytical Data

We may create and commercially use or share aggregate, non-identifying statistical data derived from platform usage and profile attributes. This data is intended to reflect general patterns and does not contain individual personal information.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share information in the following situations:

• Sender name and email are disclosed to recipients of their messages.
• With service providers (e.g., Stripe for payments).
• When required by law or to protect the safety and rights of users or the platform.
• In connection with a business transaction (merger, acquisition, etc.).

Anonymity Protections

The platform is designed so that senders generally do not receive individual recipient identities — only aggregate information such as recipient count and filters used.

Your Rights

You may have rights to access, correct, or delete your information depending on applicable law. You can delete your account directly or by contacting us.

Security and Retention

We implement reasonable security measures. Data is retained as long as reasonably necessary.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. Material changes will be notified through the platform or by email.
