Privacy Policy
Last updated August 25, 2026. This page explains what information this site collects, how it's used, and your options.
Who this applies to
Student Nutrition Program Canada (studentnutritionprogram.ca) is published by the team behind Smart Nutrition Bites. This policy covers information collected through this website only.
What we collect
- Contact form: when you submit the Contact Us form, we collect your name, email address, phone number (optional), the topic you select, and your message.
- Chat assistant: when you use the "Nourish Bot" chat widget, the message you type and the page you're on are sent to generate a response. We don't ask for or require any personal information to use the chatbot.
- Anonymous visit analytics: we use a self-hosted, cookieless analytics tool (Umami) to count page visits and see an approximate city-level location (derived from IP address, which is not stored) so we understand which regions this site reaches. This doesn't use cookies, doesn't track you across other websites, doesn't build an individual visitor profile, and is not shared with or sold to anyone. If your browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal, we don't record your visit at all.
- Nothing else. This site does not use third-party advertising trackers. A theme preference (light/dark) may be saved in your browser's local storage, but this stays on your device and is never sent to us.
How we use it
Contact form submissions are sent by email to a member of our team so we can respond to your question, correction, or inquiry. We don't use this information for marketing, and we don't sell or rent it to anyone.
Chat messages are sent to a third-party AI service (Google's Gemini API) to generate a response, and processed through workflow automation software (n8n) that we operate. Chat messages are not stored in a persistent database by us beyond what's needed to generate and return the response.
Visit analytics are used only in aggregate — for example, to see roughly how many people visited this site in a week and which cities they're likely visiting from — so we can understand whether this resource is reaching the communities it's meant for. We don't use analytics data to identify individual visitors.
Who we share it with
We use the following service providers to operate this site: Google (Gemini API, for the chat assistant, and Gmail, for receiving contact form messages) and n8n (workflow automation we self-host). Our analytics (Umami) run on our own server — this data isn't shared with any analytics company. We don't share your information with anyone else, and we don't sell it.
How long we keep it
Contact form messages are retained in our email inbox like any other email. We don't maintain a separate marketing database of contact form submissions.
Your rights
Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), you can ask what information we hold about you, request a correction, or request deletion. To do this, use the Contact page and select the appropriate topic.
