Privacy policy
Last updated: September 2026
Introduction
Welcome to Khela Meets World (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website at khelameetsworld.com.
Information We Collect
Information you provide
- Contact form: name, email, what the message is about (family/YouTube, a collaboration, a Bird Sitting merch order, or something else), and your message — plus a hidden honeypot field we use only to block bots. The topic you pick is added to the top of the message we receive.
- Newsletter: name and email. We use this to send travel guides, new videos, and site updates. You can unsubscribe from every email.
The newsletter form appears on every page of the site. These forms collect only what you type into them; the analytics we run are described below.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our site, including:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring website addresses
- Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
- Clicks and interactions with page elements. PostHog's autocapture is on, which means it records that you clicked a button or link and which one — not what you type into a form.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and messages
- Send our newsletter to people who asked for it
- Improve our website content and user experience
- Analyze website traffic and usage patterns
- Comply with legal obligations
Analytics
- PostHog — product analytics: pages viewed, referrers, device.
- Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights — aggregate page views and performance timings for the site we host on Vercel.
Bird Sitting Analytics
This family site loads a script from mybird.birdsittingtoronto.ca on every page. Bird Sitting Toronto is a related business we operate, and the script is how merch enquiries from this site are attributed to it. It is disclosed here because it runs on every page, not only on our merch page.
Cookies
PostHog may set a first-party cookie. You can block cookies in your browser. We do not run Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or ad retargeting on khelameetsworld.com.
Email (CASL)
Newsletter signup is your consent for us to email you about Khela Meets World, under Canada's anti-spam legislation. Every email has an unsubscribe link and we will not sell your address. To reach us, use the contact form — we do not publish a personal inbox on this page.
Third-Party Services
Our website contains links to third-party services such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites.
Our travel map page also loads map tiles from openstreetmap.org and marker images from unpkg.com, so those providers receive your request when you open that page. The site itself is hosted on Vercel.
Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information. Newsletter subscribers are stored in our Supabase database, and contact form messages are delivered to us by email. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
This is a family site that shows photos of our children. It is not directed at children under 13 as users, and we do not knowingly collect an email address from a child under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete your information. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
