Privacy Policy
Celluplan.com ("Celluplan", "we", "us", or "our") operates as an independent Canadian telecommunications observatory and unbiased comparison platform. We are steadfastly committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring transparent information practices. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect, the precise purposes for which it is processed, our third-party advertising and cookie frameworks, and your enforceable statutory rights under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Bill 25 / Law 25).
01. Information We Collect
Celluplan strictly follows the principle of data minimization. We only process technical data necessary to maintain site security, evaluate performance, and display comparative telecommunications analysis.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use standard session and persistent cookies, web beacons, and browser local storage to preserve non-identifying site preferences (such as province selection or comparison filters) and support core site responsiveness.
Analytics Data (Aggregated, Anonymized)
We collect anonymized, aggregated telemetry including browser vendor, operating system, general referral URL, pages accessed, and duration of visit. This data is strictly statistical and cannot be mapped to any identified individual.
No Personal Account Registration
Celluplan is an open public observatory. You are never required to create an account, register a user profile, or provide your name, telephone number, residential address, or banking/credit card credentials to browse all guides, calculators, and rate cards.
IP Addresses (For Security Only)
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are captured in transient firewall access logs solely for cybersecurity purposes: mitigating distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, enforcing scraping rate limits, and defending infrastructure integrity.
02. Third-Party Advertising & Cookies
To maintain free, unpaywalled public access to our Canadian telecom research database, Celluplan displays third-party programmatic advertisements and operates affiliate links. Third-party advertising partners place and read cookies on your browser.

Third parties (including Amazon and other advertisers) may serve content and advertisements, collect information directly from visitors, and place or recognize cookies on visitors' browsers.
03. How We Use Information
Improve Site Experience
We analyze non-identifying telemetry to refine page loading speeds, eliminate rendering bottlenecks across mobile viewports, and continuously enhance the responsiveness of our interactive rate comparison calculators.
Serve Relevant Advertisements
Anonymized signals enable verified advertising partners to deliver contextually relevant commercial notices. This non-invasive ad revenue funds our server clusters and continuous tariff tracking pipelines without charging readers.
Analyze Traffic Patterns (Aggregated)
Aggregated metrics reveal which carrier tariff battles, contract overage traps, and CRTC consumer rights guides are in highest demand across provinces, directing our investigative editorial priorities.
Never Sell Personal Data
We pledge unreservedly: Celluplan does not sell, rent, license, trade, or commercialize your personal information to telecom providers, data brokers, advertising exchanges, or marketers under any circumstances.
04. Your Rights Under PIPEDA
Under Canada's federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), individuals possess comprehensive rights concerning their personal information held by commercial organizations:
You have the right to request confirmation of whether we hold personal information relating to you, examine such records, and receive an explanation of how it has been used.
If any personal data under our control is demonstrated to be inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, you are entitled to have it corrected or updated promptly.
You may request the permanent erasure of your personal data where it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was originally obtained, or where consent is withdrawn.
You may withdraw or modify your consent to the processing of personal data at any time upon reasonable notice, subject to statutory legal requirements.
05. Quebec Bill 25 Compliance
In rigorous compliance with Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (as modernized by Bill 25 / Law 25), Celluplan enforces stringent default privacy safeguards across our platform:
All technological functions that involve user profiling, cross-site tracking, or behavioral telemetry are completely deactivated by default when you land on Celluplan. No non-essential cookies are loaded automatically.
Advertising and performance tracking cookies are only enabled if and after you provide explicit, affirmative, and informed consent through our consent management interface. You may revoke consent at any moment.
Celluplan has formally designated a Privacy Officer (Responsable de la protection des renseignements personnels) responsible for overseeing internal privacy governance, conducting impact assessments, and responding directly to Quebec residents at [email protected].
06. Children's Privacy
Protection of Minors
Our site is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 14 in the Province of Quebec).
We do not knowingly collect, request, or retain personal data from minors.
If a parent or legal guardian discovers that their child has transmitted personal information to us without appropriate verification, please notify us immediately at [email protected]. We will take immediate procedural steps to permanently purge such data from our operational repositories.
07. Data Security
We utilize rigorous industry-standard architectural safeguards to guarantee that our observatory remains resilient against unauthorized interception, compromise, and data alteration:
All communications between your browser and Celluplan are protected by modern TLS 1.2 / TLS 1.3 encryption with strict HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) preloading.
Our site traffic is routed through Cloudflare's global content delivery network, featuring automated Web Application Firewall (WAF) filtering and volumetric DDoS mitigation.
By design, Celluplan is a statically pre-rendered site. We operate zero databases storing user credentials, personal identities, payment tokens, or consumer account histories.
08. Changes to This Policy
Celluplan may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in regulatory statutes (such as amendments to PIPEDA or CRTC consumer guidelines), emerging technologies, or website operational enhancements:
1 Timestamp Updating
Whenever adjustments are enacted, we will update this page and immediately reflect the revision date in the "Last Updated" metadata field at the summit of this document.
