Privacy Policy
This policy describes how Riatalver.org handles information in connection with your use of this website.
Last updated: May 2026
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to riatalver.org. It covers what information is collected when you visit the site, how that information is used, and what controls you have over it.
2. Information Collected
Contact Form
If you submit the contact form on this site, you are asked to provide your name, email address, phone number, and a message. This site is static and does not transmit form data to any server. The form provides a visual confirmation message only; no data is sent, stored, or transmitted externally.
Cookies and Local Storage
This site uses browser localStorage to store your response to the cookie consent banner. This data remains in your browser and is not transmitted to any server. It stores only whether you accepted or rejected the banner, not any personal information. You can clear this at any time through your browser settings.
Server Logs
As with most websites, the server hosting this site may automatically collect standard technical log data, including your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request. This data is used solely for technical maintenance and security purposes and is not combined with personal information.
3. Third-Party Content
This site displays images hosted on Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, a request is made directly to Wikimedia's servers. Wikimedia's own privacy policy applies to those requests. This site has no control over that data collection. External links to third-party websites (Environment Canada, Canadian Wildlife Federation, Pollinator Partnership Canada, etc.) are subject to the privacy policies of those respective organizations.
4. Analytics
This site does not use third-party analytics services at this time. No tracking pixels, advertising networks, or social media widgets are embedded.
5. Data Retention
Since this site does not collect or transmit personal data through its forms, there is no personal data stored on this site's servers beyond standard server logs, which are retained in accordance with routine hosting practices.
6. Your Rights
If you are a resident of a province with applicable privacy legislation (such as Quebec's Law 25 or federally under PIPEDA), you may have rights regarding access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data. Given that this site does not store personal data, these rights are not practically applicable here. For questions, use the contact form on the home page.
7. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
