Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how stoneandhome.org ("the Site") handles information in connection with your use of the website. The Site is a static editorial resource with no user accounts, no e-commerce transactions, and no backend form processing. This policy is provided for transparency and compliance with applicable Canadian privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
Information Collected
Server Logs
Like most websites, the hosting server automatically records standard access log entries when you visit pages on the Site. These entries typically include your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and the pages accessed, along with timestamps. These logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes and are not used for advertising or individual tracking.
Local Storage
The Site uses the browser's localStorage API to record your response to the cookie/privacy notice displayed on the homepage. This data is stored entirely on your device. No personal information is involved; only a single value indicating whether you accepted or declined the notice is stored. You can clear this at any time through your browser's storage settings.
Contact Form
The contact form on the About page is handled entirely in the browser using JavaScript. No data entered into the form is transmitted to a server, stored in a database, or sent by email. The form is provided as a frontend demonstration only. If you have a genuine inquiry, please use the contact information provided in any response to a direct communication from this site.
Third-Party Content
Google Fonts
The Site loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts, which is served from Google's CDN. This causes your browser to make a request to Google's servers, during which Google may collect standard access log data including your IP address. Google's use of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.
Wikimedia Commons Images
Images displayed on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). Your browser makes direct requests to Wikimedia servers to load these images. Wikimedia's privacy practices are governed by the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.
Cookies
The Site does not set any HTTP cookies from the site's own domain. The localStorage value described above is not a cookie and is not transmitted with any request. Third-party content such as Google Fonts may result in third-party cookies being set by those providers depending on your browser settings.
Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed at individuals under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information via this Site, please use the contact information below to request its removal.
Your Rights Under Canadian Law
Under PIPEDA, individuals in Canada have the right to access personal information held about them and to request correction of inaccurate information. Given that this Site retains only access logs and does not collect identifiable personal information from users, these rights have limited practical application here. Any inquiries regarding personal information can be directed to the contact address on the About page.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
