This website is administered by City of Prince Rupert staff, and was a collaborative effort between the City, Community Futures Pacific Northwest and the Prince Rupert Port Authority. We’re here to help people learn about Prince Rupert and why you might want to move here (we hope!).
When visitors send inquiries through the site we collect the data shown in the comments form on our Get in Touch page, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. We’re collecting that to help us reach back out and get you the information you need. We might also use aggregated information at the end of year to take stock of what people find most interesting or appealing, so we can make sure we’re selling ourselves effectively.
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, job board, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
No one! We collect information from the inquiries section to reach out to you with requested answers to your questions. That’s it. We’re here to help, not to farm data.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have sent comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments are sent to staff at the City of Prince Rupert and one of our community representatives may get in touch to answer the questions you’ve sent in.
