WinShark Privacy Policy
In Canada, WinShark keeps privacy straightforward: we do not collect, process, or store personal data through our website. The site runs without accounts, contact forms, or interactive features that would request names, emails, phone numbers, or other identifiers.

What we do not collect
WinShark is designed around data minimization, so normal browsing does not create a personal profile—either through direct submissions or background tracking often used for marketing and analytics.
- No personal data entry points, including sign-up fields or contact forms.
- No device storage via cookies, including session or login cookies.
- No tracking or advertising cookies.
- No performance monitoring or analytics cookies, including analytics platform tagging.
Cookies, tracking, and integrations
We run without cookies, so our platform does not store anything on your device. We also avoid third-party integrations that could collect data indirectly, helping maintain consistent privacy protections across common browsing environments.
- No analytics tools such as Google Analytics or similar platforms.
- No social media plugins or embedded content modules.
- No external fonts such as Google Fonts.
- No embedded maps or location services, and no video platform embeds.
GDPR alignment and user rights
We align our approach with GDPR principles and other applicable European Union privacy laws. Because we do not process personal data, GDPR Article 6 legal bases are not needed for our website operations.
Standard rights are still recognized, even if a request may not apply in practice because no records exist. These rights include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, objection, and the right to understand processing.
Security and retention
Even without personal data collection, we protect the website infrastructure through secure hosting, routine security updates, and safeguards against unauthorized access. We also monitor for vulnerabilities as part of ongoing maintenance.
We do not retain personal data because none is collected, and we do not use profiling or automated decision-making that would affect individuals.
Minors and site purpose
WinShark does not specifically target individuals under the age of 16, and our no-data-collection design helps avoid inadvertently gathering information from minors. The website content is informational and educational, and it does not operate as a gambling platform or gaming service.
