This Privacy Policy describes how harborandstone.org ("the site", "this site") collects, uses, and handles information when you visit its pages.
1. Information Collected
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit this site, standard web server logs may record technical information including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used for operational purposes such as server security, error diagnosis, and aggregate traffic analysis.
Information You Provide
If you use the contact form on this site, you provide a name, email address, and message. This information is submitted for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. The contact form on this site does not transmit data to a third-party server; submissions are handled client-side only.
2. Cookies and Local Storage
This site uses browser localStorage to store your cookie consent preference. No advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies are set by this site. The single localStorage entry ("hs_cookie_choice") records whether you accepted or rejected the cookie notice and prevents it from appearing on subsequent visits.
External resources loaded by this site (such as Google Fonts) may set their own cookies in accordance with their respective privacy policies. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
3. Use of Information
Technical log data is used solely for site operations and is not sold, traded, or provided to third parties except as required by law. No profiling or behavioral advertising takes place on this site.
4. Third-Party Links and Resources
Articles on this site may contain links to external sources including government websites, standards bodies, and reference publications. This site is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites.
Images on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons infrastructure (upload.wikimedia.org). Loading these images involves a connection to Wikimedia Foundation servers. Wikimedia's privacy policy is available at foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy.
5. Data Retention
Server logs are retained for a limited operational period. Contact form submissions handled client-side are not stored on any server operated by this site.
6. Your Rights
If you are located in Canada, certain rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) or applicable provincial privacy legislation may apply to how your personal information is handled. Given that this site collects minimal personal information and does not transmit contact form data to a backend, the practical scope of these rights in this context is limited.
For any privacy-related inquiries, use the contact form on the home page.
7. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
