Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Local Corner Market ("we", "the archive") collects, uses, and handles information in connection with localcornermarket.org. We operate in compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation in Canada.

Information Collected

The archive does not require user accounts or registration. We collect limited technical information automatically when pages are accessed:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring URL
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • General geographic region (province or country level, derived from IP address)

This information is used in aggregate to understand how the archive is used and to identify technical issues. It is not linked to individual identities.

Contact Form Submissions

If you submit a message through the contact form on this site, we collect the name, phone number, and email address you provide. This information is used solely to respond to your submission and is not added to marketing lists or shared with third parties.

Cookies

This site uses a single session cookie to record your response to the cookie consent banner. No tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies are set. The session storage value expires when your browser session ends.

You may reject cookies using the banner that appears on your first visit to the homepage. Rejecting cookies does not affect your ability to read content on this site.

Third-Party Content

Some pages display images hosted on Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, a connection is made to Wikimedia Foundation servers. The Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy governs any data collected through those connections. We do not embed third-party advertising, social media trackers, or analytics scripts.

Your Rights

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if that information is inaccurate. Requests can be made by email to info@localcornermarket.org or by post to the address listed on the About Us page.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for no longer than 12 months. Server log data (technical information listed above) is retained for 90 days and then deleted.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
