2. Information Collected
Automatically collected data
When you visit this site, our web server logs standard access data: IP address (truncated after 24 hours), browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time of visit. This data is used exclusively for server administration and aggregate traffic analysis.
Information you provide
If you submit the contact form on this site, we collect the name, email address, and phone number you enter, along with the message content. This information is used only to respond to your enquiry and is not stored beyond 90 days unless an ongoing correspondence warrants longer retention.
3. Cookies
This site uses a single first-party cookie to record your response to the cookie consent banner (accept or reject). No third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics platforms that set persistent cookies are deployed on this site.
You may decline cookies via the banner shown on your first visit, or clear them at any time through your browser settings. Declining does not affect your ability to read any content on this site.
4. Third-Party Content
Images on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org) under Creative Commons licences. When your browser loads these images, Wikimedia's servers receive your IP address in the standard HTTP request. Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy applies to those requests: foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy.
Outbound links to the EPA, Natural Resources Canada, WETT, and other external sites are governed by those organisations' own privacy policies.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Information may be disclosed if required by law, court order, or legitimate government request under applicable Canadian legislation.
6. Data Retention
Server access logs are retained for 30 days, then deleted. Contact form submissions are retained for 90 days. The cookie consent record stored in your browser expires after 365 days or when you clear your browser storage.
7. 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 its processing (subject to legal or contractual restrictions). Submit requests to privacy@morninghearth.org. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Security
This site is served over HTTPS. Contact form submissions are transmitted via encrypted connection. We apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, though no internet-based system is unconditionally secure.
