Privacy Policy

1. About This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to villageandfield.org (the "site"). It describes what information is collected when you visit the site, how that information is used, and your choices regarding your data. By using this site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

2. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit this site, standard web server logs may capture information including your IP address, the date and time of your visit, the page requested, the browser and operating system you are using, and the referring URL if you arrived from another site. This information is used for the purpose of maintaining the technical operation of the site and identifying errors. It is not used to identify individual users.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses browser local storage — not traditional cookies — to remember your cookie consent preference. If you accept or reject the cookie notice displayed on the home page, your selection is stored in your browser's local storage so that the banner does not reappear on subsequent visits. No personal information is stored in this way.

Third-party services integrated with this site — including Google Fonts, which is used to load typefaces — may place their own cookies or make requests to external servers. Google's privacy policy applies to those requests. Visitors who prefer not to load external fonts may use a browser extension to block such requests.

4. Contact Form

This site provides a contact form through which visitors may submit their name, email address, an optional telephone number, and a message. This form is for general enquiries only. Submissions are received for review and are not automatically processed or stored in a database. By submitting the form, you consent to your information being used solely to respond to your enquiry.

This site does not sell, rent, or share contact form submissions with third parties.

5. External Links

Articles and pages on this site link to external websites, including provincial government ministries, educational organizations, and federal government resources. This site is not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites. Visitors following external links should review the privacy policies of those destinations.

6. Children's Privacy

This site is an information resource intended for adult readers, including parents and guardians researching education options. The site does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information through this site, please contact us using the form on the home page.

7. Data Retention

Server log data is retained for a limited period for operational purposes and then deleted. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to address the enquiry they relate to.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy legislation regarding access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information held about you. To exercise any such rights, contact the site using the form on the home page with a description of your request.
