What this policy covers
This policy describes the WHL Schedule pages and tools on this website. It does not describe the official WHL, a ticket seller or a streaming provider. You do not need an account, name or email address to read a schedule or download a file. These WHL pages do not include an account-registration, payment or message-submission form.
The current WHL pages do not include advertising or audience-analytics scripts. If you choose to play an embedded video, the video provider's practices also apply.
Cookies and saved preferences
Your time zone
A cookie remembers your selected zone for up to one year from when it is set. On schedule and tool pages, your browser can suggest its time zone; this does not request GPS location. Simply reading these four website-information pages does not start time-zone detection.
Your schedule selections
A separate cookie lets the website remember selections such as teams, dates and page number, and a calendar link you have just generated. With the current settings, this cookie can remain for seven days, and the saved session expires after seven days of inactivity. Closing a tab or browser does not necessarily clear it.
Small browser reminders
Tab storage remembers whether time-zone detection has already run and whether the team directory should scroll to its results. These reminders normally end with the tab's session; browser session-restoration settings may preserve them.
How to change or remove them
Use a page's Reset button to clear its filters while keeping your time zone. To remove cookies and tab storage, use your browser's site-data controls. On a shared website address, clearing all site data can also affect other sections of that website. Blocking cookies may stop filters from staying selected or prevent a generated calendar link from appearing after you submit your choices. Downloaded files and subscriptions already added to another app are separate.
Calendar subscriptions and downloads
A subscription link is public
Creating a subscription saves the selected teams, season, schedule filters, time zone and creation time so the same schedule can be served again. Anyone with the resulting URL can read that sports schedule and may infer which teams you follow. Treat it as a shareable public link, not a private calendar.
The link does not give this site access to your personal calendar, account password or other appointments. When you add it to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook or another app, that service receives the link and fetches the schedule under its own privacy practices.
Stopping a subscription
Remove or unsubscribe from it in your calendar app. That does not delete the saved public schedule definition on this website. Subscription definitions currently have no automatic expiry and there is no self-service delete or revoke control. Clearing browser cookies does not revoke a calendar URL.
Files and clipboard
PDF, CSV, Excel and ICS files are generated for your chosen schedule and sent to your browser. This tool does not keep a separate saved copy of each generated file. Your browser, device and any app you use to open or share it may retain a copy. Copy buttons write the displayed link or checklist to your clipboard only when pressed; they do not read your clipboard.
YouTube and external services
You decide when to load a player
Game highlights initially show a text play button. Choosing a clip loads an embedded player from youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain. Before that click, the highlights module does not load a YouTube player or thumbnail.
Playback connects your browser to Google/YouTube and can disclose your IP address, browser information, the referring website and playback activity. Privacy-enhanced mode does not mean no information is sent. Read Google's privacy policy. You can leave the player unloaded or choose the separate Watch on YouTube link.
Following an external link
League, club, broadcaster and calendar-provider sites follow their own policies and may process information outside Canada. Their cookies, sign-ins and payments are controlled by those services. This website does not ask for their account credentials.
Technical records and retention
Delivering a page requires a connection from your browser to the hosting service. Hosting and diagnostic records may include your IP address, requested page or calendar URL, browser information, request time and response status. These records can be used to operate the website, investigate errors and protect availability.
A fixed retention period for hosting and diagnostic records has not yet been published. This policy does not promise immediate deletion or storage exclusively in Canada. Browser-storage durations and the current treatment of public calendar definitions are described above.
If you email us
Your email provider and our mailbox provider handle the message. Your address and any information you include are received to address your question or correction. Avoid sending sensitive personal information. A fixed retention period for correspondence has not yet been published.
Questions and policy changes
For a privacy question or a request to access, correct or delete information you have sent us, email [email protected]. Describe the information concerned and the page or feature involved without sending passwords or identity documents.
Changes to these practices will be described on this page with a revised review date. Review the policy again if you start using a new feature.
