Privacy Policy

Last updated September 11, 2026

New Tecumseth Ghost Walks (“we,” “us”) runs this website to share information about our free, volunteer-run Ghost Walk events in Alliston, Beeton, and Tottenham. This page explains what information the site collects from visitors, which is very little.

What we don’t collect

There is no visitor account system, no email sign-up, and no online payment or ticketing on this site — every walk is free, and any donation to our supported charities is made in person, in cash, at the end of a walk. We do not run any analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts, and we do not build profiles of visitors or their browsing activity.

Location, only if you choose to share it

Walk Mode can optionally use your device’s location, only after you explicitly grant permission, to tell you when you’re near the next stop on a route. That location is used entirely in your browser to compare your position against public stop coordinates — it is never sent to or stored on our servers, and it is not shared with anyone. You can deny or revoke location access at any time and still complete a walk manually using the on-screen Previous/Next controls.

What your browser remembers locally

While you’re on a Walk Mode page, your browser keeps a small amount of session information (which stop you’re on) using your browser’s built-in session storage, so refreshing the page doesn’t restart your walk. This clears automatically when you close the tab and is never transmitted to us.

Services that support this site

• Google Maps and Places — used to display walking routes and, only after you select a category on a Town page, nearby restaurants, shops, or attractions. Those requests are handled by our server, not by sending your data to Google directly from your browser; Google’s own privacy policy governs how it handles those requests on its end.
• Supabase — our hosting and database provider, which stores the public content of this site (routes, events, gallery images, and so on).
• Cloudflare Turnstile — a bot-protection check used only on our private staff sign-in page. It is not shown to, and does not run for, ordinary visitors.

Testimonials

Testimonials shown on this site are added by our team from feedback shared with us directly, with permission to publish. There is no public submission form, so visiting this site never automatically enrolls your feedback for publication.

Children

Because we don’t collect personal information from visitors of any age, we don’t knowingly collect information from children either.

Changes to this policy

If how this site handles visitor information changes, we’ll update this page and the date above.

Questions

You’re welcome to ask us about this policy in person at any Ghost Walk, or through New Tecumseth Ghost Walks’ social media.
