Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2026

1. Who We Are

NewLiquorLicenses (www.newliquorlicenses.com) is operated by Nicolas Primeau, a sole proprietor based in Ontario, Canada. This policy explains what personal information we collect from you as a user of the Service, how we use it, and your rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Public Records, Not Personal Information

Separate from the account information described above, the dataset NewLiquorLicenses publishes is compiled entirely from public government records. It contains business and establishment names, business addresses, license numbers, license types, statuses, and issue and expiry dates only. We deliberately exclude and do not store any licensee, owner, or applicant personal names, phone numbers, or email addresses. The Service is a directory of licensed businesses, not a database of individuals.

Not a Data Broker

Because we do not collect, store, or sell personal information about individual consumers, NewLiquorLicenses is not a "data broker" as defined under the California Delete Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.99.80 et seq.) or the Texas, Oregon, or Vermont data-broker registration statutes. The information we provide consists solely of public business and regulatory records.

2. Information We Collect

• Billing information — collected and stored by Stripe; we do not store full card numbers
• API usage logs — request timestamps, endpoints called, response codes, and your IP address

3. How We Use Your Information

• Deliver the API service and authenticate your requests
• Send alert emails and transactional notifications you have opted into
• Process payments and issue invoices
• Monitor service performance and prevent abuse
• Communicate service updates and material changes

4. Third-Party Services

• RapidAPI — API distribution; usage data governed by RapidAPI's Privacy Policy

5. Data Retention

• API access logs: 90 days
• Email addresses: retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• Billing records: 7 years as required by Canadian tax law

6. Your Rights

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us using the form below. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies

We use cookies for Google Analytics (anonymized) and session management. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; this will not affect API access.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The updated date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
