Privacy policy

Reading Tilish without an account

Reading the news needs no account. Visits are counted in aggregate (page views, clicks to articles, shares) with no identifier, no cookie and no IP address kept.

One essential cookie remembers your language (French or English). It isn't used to track you.

Tilish uses no analytics or advertising cookies.

With an account

When you sign up: your email address, your name or nickname and your password (stored encrypted) or, if you choose Google, the basic details Google passes to us. The country you sign in from, as determined by our provider Cloudflare, is noted with your session.

To personalize Tilish: the storylines and stories you follow, your teams and preferences, and what you read and search (articles seen or opened, searches). You can see your interests in your profile, remove any, and turn off learning from your reading, after which nothing more is recorded.

To write to you: service emails (confirmation, sign-in link, password reset) are sent through our provider Resend. Protection against automated sign-ups (Cloudflare Turnstile) may appear when you sign up.

We never sell your information and don't use it for anything else.

How long

Detailed reading data is kept for 180 days, aggregate visit counters for a year. Your account and its preferences are kept until you ask for them to be deleted.

An old waitlist sign-up that was never confirmed is deleted after 30 days.

Who has access

Only the Tilish team sees this information. Our servers are hosted by Tilish in Quebec, behind Cloudflare, and our encrypted backups are kept on Google Drive.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete your information, and withdraw your consent, by writing to [email protected]. We answer within 30 days.

Person in charge of the protection of personal information: [email protected]. You can also file a complaint with Quebec's Commission d'accès à l'information.
