Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026. This policy describes how MaLife handles personal information for this website and related services (including gas price notifications) for individuals in Canada, including Quebec.

1. Who we are and scope

MaLife operates the site and services available at https://malife.ca. This policy applies to information collected through those channels unless a separate notice says otherwise (for example, a different product with its own policy).

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the service, we may process:

  • Account and authentication: email address, password stored using a one-way derived value (hash), optional display name, email verification status, and tokens used for verification or password reset.
  • Service preferences: stations or filters you save (for example address, postal code, fuel type), subscriptions or notification preferences when those features are offered.
  • Technical data: routine server logs (for example IP address, time, requested URL, response code), and a secure session identifier in a session cookie.
  • Communications: content of transactional emails we send or receive as needed to operate the service.

3. Purposes

We use this information to provide and secure the service, manage your account, send operationally necessary messages (for example verification, password reset), deliver notifications you request, comply with law, and protect our legal rights.

4. Legal bases (overview)

In Quebec and elsewhere in Canada we aim to process information lawfully, including your consent where required by law (for example certain marketing communications), performance of a contract or steps prior to contracting, and legitimate interests where permitted (for example security and fraud prevention), subject to statutory exceptions.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We use essential cookies to maintain your session when you are signed in. You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some features (such as sign-in) may not work reliably.

6. Disclosure to others

We do not sell your contact lists to data brokers. We may share information with service providers who help us run infrastructure or send email (under confidentiality and security obligations), where required by law, or to protect the safety and rights of individuals.

7. Retention

We keep information for as long as needed for the purposes above and for legal, accounting, or evidentiary requirements, then delete or anonymize it when reasonable.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. No system is perfectly secure; please protect your password and device.

9. Quebec — Law 25 (Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information)

If you are in Quebec, provincial law may provide rights including access and correction, withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent, and rights related to portability, cessation of dissemination, and de-indexing in situations provided by law. You may file a complaint with the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec (CAI): cai.gouv.qc.ca.

10. Canada — PIPEDA and substantially similar provincial laws

Depending on the circumstances, Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) or a substantially similar provincial private-sector law may apply. You can learn more from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada: priv.gc.ca.

11. Cross-border processing

We aim to host and process information in Canada where feasible. If a service provider is located outside Canada, we consider applicable legal requirements (for example transparency and appropriate safeguards) as required in the circumstances.

12. Changes

We may update this policy to reflect legal or technical changes. We will revise the “last updated” reference; continued use of the service after an update may constitute acceptance where law permits.

13. Contact

For questions about this policy or your personal information, use the contact methods published on https://malife.ca or the channels available from your account (for example profile or support), when offered.

This text describes our practices in general terms. It is not legal advice. Align specifics (legal entity name, contact details, exact processing activities) with your real operations and consult qualified counsel where appropriate.
