Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 2026

1. Scope

This policy describes how FieldBasket.org ("the site") processes information when you visit pages at fieldbasket.org. It applies to all visitors regardless of location.

2. Information Collected

2.1 Automatically Collected Data

When you visit the site, standard web server logs may record your IP address, the pages you request, the date and time of the request, and the browser user-agent string. This data is used solely for server administration and security monitoring. It is not combined with personally identifiable information.

2.2 Contact Form Submissions

The contact form on the About page collects a name, email address, phone number, and message. On this static site, form data is processed locally in your browser only and is not transmitted to any external server or stored in any database. No personal data from form submissions is retained.

2.3 Cookies and Local Storage

The site uses browser localStorage to remember your response to the cookie consent banner. No third-party tracking cookies are set. No advertising networks are used. No analytics tools that set persistent cookies are deployed on this site.

3. How Information Is Used

Server log data is used only to maintain site availability and investigate security incidents. No profiling or behavioural analysis is performed. No data is sold or shared with third parties for commercial purposes.

4. Third-Party Content

Images on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org) under Creative Commons licences. When your browser loads these images, Wikimedia's servers receive your IP address as part of the standard HTTP request. Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy governs this data: foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy.

External links to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and other reference sites are provided for informational purposes. FieldBasket.org does not control the privacy practices of linked sites.

5. Your Rights

Since FieldBasket.org does not collect or retain personal data beyond standard server logs, requests for access, correction, or deletion of personal data do not apply in most cases. If you have questions about server log data, contact us using the form on the About page.

6. Cookies Banner

A cookie consent banner is displayed on your first visit to the site. Your Accept or Reject choice is stored in localStorage on your device only. Clicking Reject has no functional effect on site behaviour because the site does not use tracking cookies — it simply records your preference so the banner does not appear again.

7. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13. No information is knowingly collected from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes materially, the effective date at the top of the page will be updated. Continued use of the site after a posted change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

9. Contact

Questions about this policy can be submitted through the contact form on the About page.
