Privacy Policy

About This Site

The Resilient Frontline is an independent personal website created by David Marentette, an RCMP Staff Sergeant and Counselling Psychology graduate student based in Alberta, Canada.
This site shares reflections on resilience, trauma, service, and leadership. It does not sell products, host advertisements, or collect unnecessary personal data.

What Information We Collect

We only collect the information you choose to share — such as your name and email address if you contact us directly or subscribe to updates.
Basic, non-identifiable analytics data (like page visits or time on site) may also be gathered automatically through standard web tools such as Google Analytics. These metrics help improve site performance and content relevance.

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files that help websites remember visitor preferences.
This site uses limited cookies for basic functionality and analytics — never for advertising or profiling. You can disable cookies anytime through your browser settings without affecting your ability to view the site.

Contact Form and Email

If you email Dave directly (at [email protected]) or use the contact form, your message and contact details will be used solely to respond to your inquiry.
They are never shared, sold, or stored beyond what’s needed for correspondence.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
Data is shared only with trusted service providers essential to operating this website (for example, WordPress and hosting servers) — each of which complies with strong privacy and security standards.

Data Retention

We retain correspondence or submitted information only as long as necessary to address your inquiry or maintain contact history.
Analytics data is stored in aggregate form and cannot identify individual visitors.

Your Data Rights

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to:

  • Request access to any personal data held about you.
  • Ask for corrections or deletion of that data.
  • Withdraw consent to future communication.

To exercise these rights, contact Dave directly at [email protected].

External Links

This website occasionally links to external resources, articles, or videos.
The Resilient Frontline is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external sites.

Security

We use secure connections (HTTPS) and standard hosting protections to keep your information safe from unauthorized access or misuse.

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect new features or legal requirements. The “Last Updated” date will appear at the top of this page when changes occur.
