Privacy Policy
Who We Are
This website is operated by Alloway Property Group Ltd., a privately held corporation headquartered in Toronto, Canada. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and share personal information.
Information We Collect
We collect personal data and certain technical information when you interact with our website. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Information you voluntarily submit via forms (e.g., name, email, comments).
- Technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and referring URL.
- Tracking data through cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pages viewed, links clicked, time spent on the site).
Comments and User-Generated Content
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible next to your comment.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may be able to download and extract location data from such images.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our site uses cookies to enhance user experience, analyze site traffic, and manage sessions. Cookies are small data files stored on your device.
- If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience.
- Temporary cookies are set to determine browser compatibility and are deleted once you close your browser.
- Login-related cookies may be used to maintain session preferences and persist login status if “Remember Me” is selected.
By continuing to use our site, you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies in accordance with this privacy policy. You may adjust your browser settings to disable cookies, though some site features may not function properly as a result.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or social media feeds). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those external sites directly and may collect data, use cookies, and track your interactions. Please refer to those third-party websites for their specific privacy practices.
Consent to Data Collection and Sharing
By using this website, you expressly consent to the collection, use, and potential sharing of your information as described in this policy. We do not sell your personal data.

For example:
- Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and related metadata are retained indefinitely for moderation and follow-up purposes.
For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also access and manage this information.
