Privacy Policy

How FredSave handles your personal information — plain language, Canadian law, no nonsense.

Last updated: July 29, 2026

FredSave Inc. ("FredSave," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website fredsave.com and related fantasy hockey services (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website, create an account, participate in fantasy leagues, subscribe to newsletters, or otherwise interact with FredSave. We are committed to handling your information responsibly and in compliance with applicable Canadian privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and substantially similar provincial laws where they apply.

By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please discontinue use of the Services. For questions about this policy or your personal information, contact us at [email protected] or through the contact form on fredsave.com.

Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly, information generated through your use of the Services, and information from third parties where permitted by law.

Information You Provide

When you register for an account, we may collect your name, email address, username, password, date of birth (to verify eligibility), province or territory of residence, and communication preferences. If you subscribe to our newsletter or contact support, we collect the information you submit in those forms, including email address and message content. If you purchase a premium subscription, payment information is processed by our third-party payment processor; we do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit fredsave.com, we automatically collect certain technical and usage data, including IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, time spent on pages, click patterns, and approximate geographic location derived from IP address. We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. Log files and analytics tools help us understand how users interact with roster builders, team pages, news articles, and game simulations.

Information from Third Parties

We may receive information from authentication providers if you choose to sign in through a third-party service, from marketing partners where you have consented to share data, and from publicly available NHL statistics and news sources used to populate fantasy content. We do not purchase personal information from data brokers.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information for the following purposes: to create and manage your account; to provide fantasy hockey features including roster management, league participation, and game simulation; to send transactional emails such as password resets and subscription confirmations; to deliver newsletters and marketing communications where you have opted in; to respond to support requests; to personalize content such as Canadian team news and arena guides; to analyze usage and improve the Services; to detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security incidents; to comply with legal obligations; and to enforce our Terms of Use.

We may aggregate or de-identify personal information so that it no longer identifies you, and use such information for research, analytics, and product development. De-identified data is not subject to this Privacy Policy.

Legal Basis and Consent

Where required by applicable law, we rely on your consent to collect, use, and disclose personal information. You may withdraw consent for marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any message or by contacting us. Withdrawal of consent for essential account processing may limit your ability to use certain features. We may also process information where necessary to perform a contract with you, to comply with legal obligations, or where we have a legitimate interest that is not overridden by your privacy rights.

Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with: service providers who assist with hosting, analytics, email delivery, payment processing, and customer support, subject to contractual confidentiality obligations; league commissioners and other participants as necessary for fantasy league functionality you choose to join; law enforcement or regulatory authorities when required by law or to protect rights and safety; and successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided the recipient agrees to honour this Privacy Policy.

International Transfers

FredSave is based in Canada. Some service providers may process data in the United States or other jurisdictions. Where personal information is transferred outside Canada, we implement appropriate safeguards such as contractual clauses requiring comparable protection to PIPEDA standards.

Retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal retention requirements. Inactive accounts may be deleted after twenty-four months of no login, with prior email notice where feasible. Newsletter and marketing data is retained until you unsubscribe.

Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit (TLS), hashed password storage, access controls, and regular security reviews. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information we hold about you, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of your account and associated data, restriction of certain processing, and portability of data you provided. To exercise these rights, contact [email protected]. We will respond within thirty days unless an extension is permitted by law. You may also file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe we have not addressed your concern adequately.

Children

The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of eighteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn that we have collected information from a minor without parental consent, we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notified by email or prominent notice on the website. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
