We may aggregate and collate the data we record from availability lookups in order to publish reports on the state of cell coverage in Canada. These reports may be derived from details recorded from your form data, your detected IP address or geographical information derived from your postal code. These reports may report on trends in cell coverage nationally, across specific network providers, specific types of cell service or specific broad geographical areas etc. They will not identify individual site users.
