1. Introduction
Welcome to Friday Morning Gaming, operated by fridaymorninggaming.com ("we," "our," or "us"). We are a free social arcade entertainment platform based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, designed exclusively for adults aged 19 and over who reside in Canada.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation. We are committed to being fully transparent about our data practices because we believe trust is the foundation of every good Friday morning.
By accessing or using fridaymorninggaming.com, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, please discontinue use of our platform. We encourage you to read this document in its entirety — it's written in plain language, and we've tried to keep it as warm and straightforward as everything else we do.
Our accountability for your personal information extends to all information under our control, including information transferred to third-party service providers for processing. We have designated a Privacy Officer who oversees our compliance with PIPEDA and is available to address any privacy-related concerns you may have.

All service providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and are permitted to use your information only as directed by us and in compliance with PIPEDA.

7. Data Security
We take the security of your personal information seriously and have implemented a range of organisational and technical safeguards to protect it from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures include:

In the event of a data breach that poses a real risk of significant harm to you, we will notify you and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada as required under PIPEDA's mandatory breach reporting provisions.
While we take every reasonable precaution, no system is completely immune to security risks. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account and to contact us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised activity.
