Privacy Policy

Information collected

Automatically collected information

When you visit this website, standard web server logs may record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages viewed. This information is used for technical operation and aggregate traffic analysis. It is not used to identify individual visitors.

Cookies and local storage

This website uses a cookie consent banner on the homepage. Your response (accept or reject) is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key hbl_cookie_consent. No data from this preference is transmitted to any server.

If you accept cookies, basic analytics may be collected to understand aggregate traffic patterns — specifically page views and general geographic region. No personally identifying data is collected through analytics.

If you reject cookies, no analytics cookies are set. The site functions fully without any cookies accepted.

Contact form

The contact form on this site is a frontend-only form. It does not transmit data to any server and does not send email. Information entered into the form is not collected, stored, or transmitted anywhere. It is provided as a visual demonstration only.

Information sharing

This site does not sell, rent, or share visitor information with third parties for marketing purposes. No personal information is transferred outside the site operator's control.

Third-party content

Images on this site are served from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org), operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. Loading these images may result in your IP address being visible to Wikimedia's servers under their privacy policy.

Google Fonts is used to load the Inter typeface. This request may log your IP address per Google's privacy policy. No other third-party scripts or tracking pixels are used on this site.

Data retention

Server access logs are retained for a limited period for technical purposes and then deleted. No personal data is retained beyond standard server log rotation schedules.

Your rights

Under PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy law, individuals have the right to access personal information held about them and to request corrections. Given that this site collects minimal information and the contact form does not transmit data, there is little personal information to access or correct.

To make a request regarding personal data, or to ask questions about this privacy policy, use the contact form on the About page. Responses are not guaranteed within a specific timeframe but all requests are acknowledged.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13. No information is knowingly collected from children.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated periodically. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Governing law

This privacy policy is governed by the laws of Canada. Disputes arising under this policy are subject to Canadian jurisdiction.
