Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 20, 2026

FindTreatment.ca ("we", "our", or "the site") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you use findtreatment.ca, how we use it, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. By using this site you agree to the practices described below.

Who We Are

FindTreatment.ca is an independent directory of addiction treatment providers across Canada. We are a private operator and are not a government agency, healthcare provider, or paid referral service.

Information We Collect

Information you provide. If you send us an email or use a contact form, we receive the content of your message and any email address you include. We use that information solely to respond to you.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers collect certain technical information automatically when you visit, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This data is used to operate the site, monitor performance, prevent abuse, and measure aggregate traffic.

Search and map activity. When you search for treatment centres, filter results, or view the map, your queries may be logged in aggregate form. We do not attempt to link search activity to an individual. We do not ask for, and do not want, any personal health information on this site.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality (such as remembering that you have dismissed the crisis banner), for analytics, and for advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the site but will not prevent you from browsing listings.

Advertising and Google AdSense

FindTreatment.ca may display advertising served by Google AdSense and its partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You may also opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

Third-party advertising vendors we may work with include Google and its advertising partners. These vendors may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Analytics

We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used. Analytics data is collected in aggregate and is used to improve content, navigation, and search results. Where Google services are used, Google's privacy practices apply and can be reviewed at policies.google.com/privacy.

Third-Party Services

Our site uses the following third-party services to deliver core functionality: Algolia (search), Leaflet with OpenStreetMap tiles (map rendering), and image and content delivery networks. When you interact with these features, the relevant provider may receive technical information such as your IP address. These providers operate under their own privacy policies.

How We Use Information

  • To operate, maintain, and secure the site.
  • To measure site performance and improve the quality of our directory and educational content.
  • To respond to inquiries, corrections, or partnership requests.
  • To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from authorities.

We do not sell personal information. We do not transfer personal information to treatment centres. We do not operate the site as a paid lead-generation service.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your province of residence, you may have rights under Canadian privacy law (including PIPEDA and provincial equivalents such as Quebec's Law 25) to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information we hold about you. To make such a request, contact us using the information on our contact page.
