This Privacy Policy describes how fieldandlane.org handles information when you visit this site.
1. Information Collected
This site does not collect personal information through registration, accounts, or tracking systems. The contact form on the About page collects name, email address, and phone number solely for the purpose of responding to enquiries. This information is not stored on a server; the form operates as a client-side simulation and no data is transmitted to or stored by fieldandlane.org.
Standard web server logs may record the following information for each request: IP address, date and time of access, URL requested, HTTP status code, and referring URL. These logs are used for operational and security purposes only and are not used to identify individual visitors.
2. Cookies
This site uses a single cookie preference stored in your browser's localStorage to record whether you have accepted or declined the cookie notice displayed on the homepage. This preference is stored locally in your browser only; no data is transmitted to any server. You can clear this preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or site data.
This site does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.
3. Third-Party Links and Resources
Articles on this site link to external resources hosted by government and regulatory agencies, including provincial ministries, the BC Agricultural Land Commission, and Health Canada. These external sites have their own privacy policies and are not covered by this policy. Images used on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org) under Creative Commons licences; Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy governs any data collected through that service.
Google Fonts are loaded for typography. Google may collect data as described in Google's privacy policy when fonts are fetched from their servers.
4. No Analytics or Advertising
This site does not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party analytics or advertising service. No visitor behaviour data is collected, profiled, or shared with advertisers.
5. Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. No personal information is knowingly collected from children.
6. Data Retention
Because no personal data is collected or stored by this site (beyond standard server logs and the local cookie preference described above), no data retention or deletion policy applies to personal information beyond what is standard for server log management.
7. Your Rights
Visitors in Canada have rights under applicable provincial and federal privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) where applicable. Because this site does not collect or retain personal information beyond the server logs described above, most of these rights do not apply in practice. Questions about privacy can be directed to info@fieldandlane.org.
8. 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 a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
