Privacy policy
Updated November 11, 2026.
This policy explains what personal information Lazlo School Finder collects, why, and your choices. We follow Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
What we collect
- Account details: your full name, email address, whether you are a licensed realtor, and your password (stored only as a one-way scrambled hash that nobody, including us, can read).
- Billing: handled by Stripe. We receive your billing name and address, the last four digits and expiry of your card, and your payment history. We never receive or store your full card number.
- Sign-in and security: the date, approximate device (browser and operating system) and IP address of sign-ins, and records of security events such as password changes.
- Use of the service: counts of how many map pictures, address lookups, drawn areas and live board checks your account used each hour and day, to apply the allowances. Addresses you look up are sent to the map's address search and to school boards' own lookup services to answer your question; we don't keep a list of the addresses you searched.
Why
To run your account and membership, take payments, keep accounts secure, apply fair-use allowances, prevent copying of the map data, answer your questions, and meet legal obligations. Whether you are a realtor is used to understand who uses the service. We don't sell your information and don't use it for advertising.
Who else handles it
- Stripe (payments), Resend (account emails), and Fly.io (hosting, in Toronto). Stripe and Resend may store information in the United States.
- Address searches go to our address search provider and, for live board checks, to the school board's own lookup service.
Cookies
We use one cookie, needed to keep you signed in. If you choose "Remember me", it lasts 30 days on that device; otherwise it ends when you close the browser. There are no advertising or analytics cookies.
How long we keep it
Account details are kept while you have an account. Sign-in and usage records are kept for up to 12 months. When you delete your account, your account details are deleted; payment records stay with Stripe as tax law requires.
Your choices
You can see and change your details on your account page, and delete your account there. You can ask us for a copy of your information or to correct it by emailing lazlomap@outlook.com. If you're not satisfied with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Emails
We send only account emails (confirmation codes, password resets, security notices and membership changes). Stripe sends payment receipts. We don't send marketing emails without your consent.
