Overview

This privacy policy describes how lakesidehomeco.org (referred to as "this site") collects, uses, and handles information in connection with your use of the site. This site is an informational reference and does not sell products, process payments, or operate user accounts.

Information Collected

This site may collect the following categories of information:

  • Usage data: When you visit this site, standard web server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring page, pages visited, and the date and time of your request. This information is collected automatically and is used for operational purposes such as identifying errors and understanding traffic patterns.
  • Contact form submissions: If you submit the contact form on the About page, the information you enter (name, email address, phone number, and message) is processed client-side only. This site does not transmit contact form data to a server, email address, or third-party system. Submissions are not stored or forwarded.
  • Cookies and local storage: This site uses browser localStorage to record whether you have accepted or declined the cookie notice. No tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies are placed. If you use the Google Fonts stylesheet loaded by this site, Google may set cookies in accordance with their own privacy policy.

Use of Information

Usage data collected through web server logs is used solely for the operation and maintenance of this site. It is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. Aggregated, anonymized statistics may be reviewed internally to understand how content is being used.

Third-Party Services

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Google's collection and use of data through this service is governed by Google's Privacy Policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. Images on this site are served from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org), which is operated by the Wikimedia Foundation under its own privacy policy.

Cookies

This site uses browser localStorage (not cookies in the traditional sense) to store your response to the cookie consent notice. This value persists in your browser until you clear site data. No tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies are set by this site directly.

Data Retention

Web server access logs are retained for operational purposes and are not used for profiling individual users. Contact form data submitted through this site is not transmitted to or stored on any server and is therefore not retained.

Your Rights

If you have questions about information that may have been collected in connection with your visit to this site, you may contact us using the form on the About page. Residents of Canada may have rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) or applicable provincial privacy legislation.

Changes to This Policy

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