Data sources & credits
Listings in Canada For You are compiled from the sources below. Each is named with the dataset it came from, the licence it is used under, and the credit that licence requires. Where a licence makes attribution a condition of use, that credit is reproduced here word for word.
Required attributions
- Google Maps — Google Maps Platform Terms of Service (credentialed paid API)
Google Places — audited paid corpus (dated tags only)
Google Places API business records, Canadian general-business corpus, April 2026 audited pull
- Required credit:
Google Maps
- Last updated from source:
- 2026-04-07
Google specifies the Google Maps logo, or the text "Google Maps" where space is constrained. Scope is the dated audited tags only; the bare `google_places` tag is a separate, unresearched authority and is never covered by this entry.
legacy_pre_path_y (unknown provenance)
Pre-PathY legacy rows — originating authority not recorded at load time
- Licence:
- No licence asserted — provenance not recorded
- Last updated from source:
- 2026-05-15
These rows predate the PathY provenance standard and carry no recorded source authority, so no licence can be asserted over them and no credit can honestly be given. They are listed here rather than omitted, because an omitted source on a credits page is a false provenance claim, not a shorter page. This is IRRECOVERABLE, not unresearched: it is not closable by reading a licence page.
Self-serve (user submitted)
Rows submitted by the business owner through /list-your-business
- Licence:
- Submitted by the listing owner under this site's Terms
- Last updated from source:
- 2026-08-04
Not an external authority. The row is contributed by the business itself, so no third-party credit is owed.
