Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 12, 2026

Overview

This privacy policy describes how riverandfield.org handles information in connection with your use of this website. This site does not collect personal information beyond what is necessary to operate a static reference website.

Information We Do Not Collect

This website does not:

  • Run analytics scripts that track individual visitors
  • Use advertising networks or tracking pixels
  • Collect form submissions through a backend server (the contact form uses a simulated frontend submission only — no data leaves your browser)
  • Set third-party cookies
  • Process payment information of any kind

Browser Storage (localStorage)

This website uses the browser's localStorage API to remember your cookie consent preference. A single key (rf_cookie_consent) is stored locally in your browser with a value of accepted or rejected. This value:

  • Is stored only on your device
  • Is never transmitted to any server
  • Can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain

Server Logs

Like all websites, the web server hosting this site automatically records access logs. These logs may include IP addresses, browser type, the pages requested, and timestamps. These logs are retained for standard operational purposes and are not used for profiling or sold to third parties.

External Links

This site contains links to external websites, including official provincial government websites, that are not operated by or affiliated with riverandfield.org. When you follow a link to an external site, that site's own privacy policy governs your visit. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Contact Form

The contact form on the About page does not transmit data to any server. It uses a JavaScript simulation that shows a confirmation message locally in your browser. No name, email address, phone number, or message text is collected, stored, or transmitted anywhere.

Images

Images displayed on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, Wikimedia's servers may log your IP address as part of standard web server operation. For information on how Wikimedia handles server log data, see the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.

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. Changes take effect when the revised policy is posted.

Questions about this privacy policy can be submitted using the contact form on the About page.
