Information We Collect
Information You Provide
When you use the contact form on this site, you may provide your name, phone number, and email address. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not sell, rent, or share this information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, our server logs record standard access data when you visit: IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages accessed. This data is used for technical administration and is not linked to individual identities.
Cookies
This website uses a single cookie to remember your cookie preference (accept or reject). This cookie is stored in your browser's local storage and contains no personally identifying information. It is used only to avoid showing the consent banner on repeat visits.
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies. If you choose to reject cookies via the banner on the homepage, no additional tracking will occur.
Third-Party Content
This site includes images hosted by Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, your IP address may be recorded by Wikimedia's servers in accordance with their own privacy policy. We do not control this data collection. Wikimedia's privacy policy is available at foundation.wikimedia.org.
External links on this site point to third-party websites including canada.ca, nrc-cnrc.gc.ca, and heritage.gov.on.ca. These sites operate under their own privacy policies. We do not track your activity on external sites.
Data Retention
Contact form submissions are retained for a maximum of 12 months from the date of receipt and are then deleted. Server access logs are retained for up to 90 days and then overwritten.
Your Rights
Under PIPEDA, you have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate information, and to withdraw consent to our use of your information at any time (subject to legal and contractual restrictions). To exercise these rights, contact us at info@stonecornerhouse.org.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect the information submitted through this site from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information transmitted to us.
