This Privacy Policy describes how cedarjournal.org ("this site") handles information from visitors. This is a static informational website with no user accounts, no e-commerce, and no advertising systems. The site does not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties.
Information collected
Contact form submissions
This site includes a contact form that requests a name, email address, phone number, and message. The form is implemented using client-side JavaScript only. Submissions are not transmitted to or stored on any server. The confirmation message displayed after submission indicates that the form was received locally by your browser, not that data was sent anywhere.
Server logs
Standard web server access logs may record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referrer URL, and the pages you visit. These logs are used for server maintenance and security monitoring only. They are not analysed for marketing purposes and are not shared with third parties.
Cookies
This site uses a single cookie preference stored in your browser's localStorage to remember whether you have accepted or declined the cookie notice. No tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies are set by this site.
Third-party content embedded on this site — specifically images served from Wikimedia Commons (wikimedia.org) — may result in requests to third-party servers. Those servers are governed by their own privacy policies.
Third-party links
Articles on this site include links to external resources including iNaturalist, NatureServe, the Government of Canada website, and Wikimedia Commons. Clicking these links takes you to third-party sites operating under their own privacy policies. This site does not control and is not responsible for the data practices of those sites.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13 years of age and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
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 after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
