Privacy Policy
How Harvestbrook handles information about visitors to this site.
Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how harvestbrook.org collects, uses, and stores information when visitors access the site. Harvestbrook is a static informational website. It does not operate user accounts, process payments, or store personal data on its own servers beyond what is described below.
Information Collected
Information You Provide
The contact form on the About page collects a name, email address, phone number, and message. This form operates client-side only — submissions are not transmitted to or stored on any server. No data entered into the form is retained after the browser session ends. The form is provided as a channel for correspondence only; it does not function as a live communication system.
Automatically Collected Information
Standard web server logs may collect basic request data including IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is retained for a short period for security and operational purposes and is not used for advertising or sold to third parties.
Cookies and Local Storage
Harvestbrook uses the browser's localStorage to store your response to the cookie consent banner shown on the homepage. The stored value records only whether you accepted or rejected the banner — no personal information is stored. This value persists in your browser until you clear your browser data.
No advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or persistent third-party cookies are set by this site.
Third-Party Services
Google Fonts
This site loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts. When your browser requests the font, Google receives your IP address and browser information as part of the standard HTTP request. Google's use of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
Wikimedia Commons
Images displayed on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons servers (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, Wikimedia receives a standard HTTP request. Wikimedia's data practices are governed by the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.
Children's Privacy
This site does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. The site is an informational reference directed at adults engaged in agricultural activity.
Data Retention
Server log data is retained for no longer than 30 days. The site does not maintain a database or user records. The localStorage entry for cookie consent remains on your device until you clear it.
Your Rights
Visitors in Canada have rights regarding personal information under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial legislation. Because this site does not store identifiable personal data, most PIPEDA rights — access, correction, withdrawal of consent — are not applicable in practice. For any questions about data practices, use the contact form on the About page.
Changes to This Policy
This policy will be updated if the site's data practices change in a material way. The 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.
