Effective date: May 1, 2026. Last updated: May 22, 2026.

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how QuietHarvest ("this site", "we") handles information in connection with your use of quietharvest.org. This is a static informational site with no user accounts, no e-commerce, and no backend data processing beyond standard web server logging.

2. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit this site, standard web server logs may record the following:

  • Your IP address
  • The date and time of your request
  • The page or resource you requested
  • Your browser type and operating system (from the User-Agent header)
  • The referring URL, if any

This information is retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes and is not used to identify individual visitors.

3. Contact Form

This site includes a contact form that collects name, email address, phone number, and a message. This form operates as a client-side simulation only — no data entered into the form is transmitted to any server or stored. The form is provided as a visual element; it does not deliver messages to any recipient.

4. Cookies

This site uses a single cookie mechanism to record your response to the cookie consent banner. This preference is stored in your browser's localStorage and is not transmitted to any server. No third-party tracking cookies are set by this site.

You may clear your browser's localStorage at any time to reset your cookie preference.

5. Third-Party Services

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). When your browser requests these fonts, Google's servers may log your IP address and the resource requested, subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

Images on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org), subject to the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.

No advertising networks, analytics services, or social media tracking pixels are loaded on this site.

6. Your Rights

Residents of Canada have rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation. Given that this site does not collect or retain personally identifiable information beyond standard server logs, the practical scope of these rights in relation to this site is limited.
