1. Information we collect
Automatically collected data
When you visit this site, our server logs may record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and the pages you visit. This information is used solely for diagnosing technical problems and understanding aggregate traffic patterns. It is not sold or shared with third parties for advertising purposes.
Cookies
This site uses a single first-party cookie to store your response to the cookie consent banner. No third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels are present. You may reject cookies using the banner on the homepage; doing so will not prevent you from reading any content on this site.
Contact form submissions
If you submit the contact form on the About page, we collect your name, email address, phone number (optional), and the message you send. This information is used only to respond to your enquiry and is not added to any mailing list or shared with third parties.
2. How we use information
- To respond to contact form enquiries
- To diagnose server and application errors
- To understand aggregate visitor traffic in anonymised form
We do not use your information to send unsolicited marketing communications, and we do not sell or rent personal data to any third party.
3. Data retention
Server access logs are retained for 90 days and then deleted. Contact form submissions are retained for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry, and deleted within 12 months unless ongoing correspondence requires otherwise.
4. Your rights under PIPEDA
Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to request corrections, and to withdraw consent for its use. To exercise these rights, write to info@northendpantry.org or by post to the address below.
5. Third-party content
Some images on this site are loaded from Wikimedia Commons servers (wikimedia.org). Fetching those images may cause your browser to send a standard HTTP request to Wikimedia servers; we have no control over how Wikimedia handles that data. Wikimedia's own Privacy Policy applies to those requests.
6. Security
This site is served over HTTPS. Contact form submissions are transmitted over an encrypted connection. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information you send.
