Privacy Policy

This policy describes how harvestandfield.org handles information related to site visitors.

Effective: June 12, 2026

1. Overview

Harvest & Field (harvestandfield.org) is a static informational website. This site does not operate a user account system, does not collect personal information through server-side processing, and does not store visitor data in a database. This Privacy Policy describes the limited technical interactions that occur when you visit the site.

2. Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site's web server may log standard access information for each request, including:

  • Your IP address (typically assigned by your internet service provider)
  • The date and time of your visit
  • The pages requested and their HTTP response codes
  • The browser and operating system type reported by your device
  • The referring URL, if you arrived via a link from another site

This information is retained in standard web server logs and is used only for security monitoring and aggregate traffic analysis. It is not linked to personally identifiable information and is not shared with third parties for advertising or profiling purposes.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses the browser's localStorage API to save your cookie consent preference. When you click "Accept" or "Reject" on the cookie consent banner, your choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the key cookieConsent. This information does not leave your device and is not transmitted to any server.

This site does not set any tracking, advertising, or analytical cookies. If you use a browser extension that blocks tracking scripts, no additional scripts are present on this site to block.

4. Contact Form

The contact form on the About page is a client-side demonstration form. It does not transmit data to any server, email address, or third-party service. Data entered into the form is processed locally in your browser and is not stored or transmitted. Any confirmation message shown after submission is generated locally and does not indicate that data has been received by anyone.

5. External Links

This site contains links to external resources including Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the Canadian Grain Commission, the Canola Council of Canada, and university websites. These links are provided for reference. When you follow an external link, you leave this site and are subject to the privacy policies of the destination site. Harvest & Field has no control over and takes no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of linked third-party sites.

6. Images and Third-Party Content

Images on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org) under applicable Creative Commons licences. Loading these images may result in your browser sending a request to Wikimedia Foundation servers. Wikimedia's own privacy policy applies to such requests.

The site loads the Inter typeface via Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com). Google's privacy policy applies to font requests made to their servers.

7. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated periodically. The effective date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last revised. Continued use of this site after a policy change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

9. Contact

Questions about this privacy policy can be submitted using the contact form on the About page. Note that the form does not transmit data to a server; this reference is provided for completeness of the policy document.
