This Privacy Policy describes how Common Brook Living (commonbrookliving.org) handles information in connection with your use of this website. This site is a static informational resource. It does not operate user accounts, run e-commerce, or process payment information.
Information Collected
This site collects minimal information in two circumstances:
- Server logs: Standard web server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This information is used for site administration and is not linked to personally identifying information.
- Contact form submissions: If you submit the contact form on the homepage, the name, email address, phone number, and message you provide are captured in that submission. The form on this site uses a JavaScript-based front-end simulation — no data is transmitted to a backend server or stored in a database. The submission is processed locally in your browser only.
Cookies and Local Storage
This site uses browser localStorage (not cookies) to store your preference when you accept or reject the cookie consent notice on the homepage. This preference is stored only in your browser and is not transmitted to any server. It persists until you clear your browser storage or change your browser settings.
No advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics scripts are loaded on this site.
Third-Party Content
Images on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org), which is operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. When your browser loads these images, a request is made to Wikimedia's servers. The Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy governs any data that may be collected in that context.
Typography is loaded via Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). When your browser loads the Inter typeface, a request is made to Google's servers. Google's privacy policy applies to that request. No user data from this site is shared with Google Fonts beyond what is inherent in a standard web font request (IP address, browser headers).
External Links
This site contains links to external websites including government resources (canada.ca, toronto.ca, metrovancouver.org), established environmental organisations (davidsuzuki.org), and Wikimedia Commons. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those external sites. Each external site operates under its own privacy policy.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. No information is knowingly collected from children.
Data Retention
Because the contact form on this site does not transmit or store data server-side, no submission data is retained beyond your browser session. Server log data is retained for a standard operational period as determined by hosting infrastructure and is not retained indefinitely.
Your Rights
If you are located in Canada, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) or applicable provincial privacy legislation may provide you with rights regarding personal information. Because this site collects minimal personal information and does not store contact form submissions, the practical scope of these rights in relation to this site is limited. For questions about what information, if any, this site holds about you, use the contact form or reach out through the contact section of the homepage.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after any revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
