Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how SmallTownWorks (smalltownworks.org) handles information in connection with your use of this website. This is a static informational site with no user accounts, no e-commerce, and no backend server that stores form submissions.

Information Collected

This site does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information to a server. The contact form on the home page operates entirely in your browser using a client-side JavaScript simulation — no data entered into the form is sent over the network.

Standard server access logs maintained by the web host may record IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps in accordance with the host's own privacy practices. SmallTownWorks does not directly access or process these logs.

Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses browser localStorage — not cookies — to record your cookie-banner consent preference (accepted or rejected). This preference is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to any server. You can clear this preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for this domain.

No third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics scripts are loaded by this site.

Third-Party Content

Images on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org), a service operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. When your browser loads an image from that server, your IP address is visible to Wikimedia Foundation servers. Their privacy practices are governed by the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.

This site loads the Google Fonts CSS from fonts.googleapis.com. Your browser makes a request to Google's servers to retrieve the font stylesheet. Google's data practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy.

External Links

This site contains links to external websites including Parks Canada, the Canadian Conservation Institute, ABANA, and others. Once you follow a link to an external site, you are subject to that site's privacy policy. SmallTownWorks has no control over and takes no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of external sites.

Children's Privacy

This site is an informational reference intended for general audiences. It does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy is updated, the date shown at the top of this page will reflect the revision. Continued use of the site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
