Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the website located at greenridgehome.org (the "Site"). It describes what information the Site collects from visitors, how that information is used, and the choices visitors have regarding their data.

2. Information Collected

2.1 Server Logs

When you visit the Site, the web server automatically records standard log data, including your IP address, browser type, referring page URL, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used solely for the purposes of maintaining and troubleshooting the Site and is not used to identify individual visitors.

2.2 Contact Form

The contact form on the homepage collects your name, email address, optional phone number, and the content of your message. This form uses a client-side simulation only — submissions are not transmitted to any server or stored in any database. No contact information entered into the form is retained or transmitted.

2.3 Cookies

The Site uses a single first-party cookie for the purpose of remembering your cookie consent choice (accept or reject). This is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key cookie_choice. It contains only the string "accepted" or "rejected" and does not contain any personal data. No third-party tracking cookies are set by this Site.

3. Analytics

If analytics tracking is enabled on this Site in the future, this policy will be updated to reflect the analytics provider, the data collected, and the retention period. As of the effective date of this policy, no analytics service is active on the Site.

4. Third-Party Content

The Site displays images hosted on Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, a request is made to Wikimedia Foundation servers. The Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy governs any data collected through those requests. The Site links to external reference websites including Natural Resources Canada, provincial utility websites, and Wikipedia. This policy does not cover those external sites.

5. Data Retention

Server log data is retained for up to 30 days for operational purposes. No personal information from contact form submissions is retained, as described in section 2.2.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your province of residence, you may have rights under applicable Canadian privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) or provincial equivalents, to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information held about you. Because this Site retains no personal information beyond standard server logs (which are not used to identify individuals), such requests would typically result in a confirmation that no personal data is held.

7. Children

This Site is not directed at individuals under 18 years of age. No information is knowingly collected from minors.

8. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will be revised when material changes are made. Continued use of the Site following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
