This Privacy Policy describes how bluefieldliving.org (referred to as "this site") collects, uses, and handles information in connection with your use of the website. This site is a static editorial publication covering green building standards in Canada. It does not operate a user account system, process payments, or store personal data on a server.

Information This Site Does Not Collect

This site does not operate any server-side scripts that collect, store, or process personal data. The contact form on the About page is simulated in JavaScript and does not transmit data to any server or email address. No personally identifiable information entered into the contact form is retained.

Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses browser localStorage, a client-side storage mechanism, to save your response to the cookie consent banner displayed on the homepage. The stored value records only whether you selected "Accept" or "Reject" and is used solely to prevent the banner from reappearing on subsequent visits. This data remains on your device and is never transmitted to any server.

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

Third-Party Services

This site loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts via a CSS import. When your browser renders the page, a request is made to Google's servers to download font files. Google's own privacy policy governs the handling of data associated with that request. You can review Google's privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.

Article images are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons servers (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser requests these images, a standard HTTP request is made to Wikimedia's infrastructure. The Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy governs the handling of those requests.

This site contains links to external websites including government agencies, standards bodies, and other reference sources. This site has no control over the content or privacy practices of those external sites. Links are provided for reference purposes only. You should review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

Children's Privacy

This site is an informational publication intended for adult readers interested in building standards and construction. It does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided information through this site, please contact us so it can be addressed.
