Who we are

PuzzleYYC is a community-driven puzzle movement based in Mohkinstsis (Calgary), Treaty 7 territory. The site is operated under MZM Labs (Pheak Meas, sole proprietor, Calgary, Alberta, Canada). For privacy questions, contact [email protected].

What we collect

PuzzleYYC is a volunteer-run information site. We collect only what you provide and what's needed to operate the site:

• Sign-up form data — when you sign up to volunteer or stay informed: your name, email, optional Calgary quadrant, and your indicated areas of involvement.
• Cookies — see our Cookie Policy. Essential cookies only by default; analytics and marketing only with your consent.
• Email content — emails you send to [email protected], retained while needed to reply.

Why we collect it

To coordinate volunteer events, communicate launch updates to people who asked for them, and improve the site. Legal basis under GDPR: consent (Article 6(1)(a)).

Who we share it with

We use third-party services to operate PuzzleYYC. Each is bound by their own privacy policy:

• Cloudflare — site hosting and DNS (US/global)
• Sign-up form processor — to be confirmed once we go live; will be added here before any submission

We never sell, rent, or trade your data.

How long we keep it

Sign-up data: kept while you wish to receive updates. You can request deletion anytime. Email correspondence: kept for two years then deleted unless still active. Cookies: per our Cookie Policy.

Where it's stored

Children's data

PuzzleYYC is open to all ages, but we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13 without a parent's consent. Family events involve adults registering on behalf of their families.
