Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Plain Hearth Co (plainhearthco.org) handles information. Plain Hearth Co is a static reference site without a server-side application or database.

Information collected

The site does not operate a server-side backend that stores personal data. The contact form runs entirely in your browser and does not transmit what you type to a server. No account system, tracking profile, or marketing database is operated by this site.

Cookies and local storage

Plain Hearth Co uses your browser's local storage for a single purpose: to remember whether you accepted or rejected the cookie notice, so the notice is not shown again. This value stays in your browser and is not sent anywhere. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

The contact form

The contact form validates fields in your browser and simulates submission locally. Because nothing is sent to a server, the information entered into the form is not received, stored, or forwarded by this site.

External links and images

Articles link to third-party sources such as Parks Canada and AdventureSmart, and load images hosted by Wikimedia Commons. When your browser loads those resources or you follow those links, the relevant third parties may receive standard request information under their own privacy practices. Plain Hearth Co does not control those services.

Changes

This policy may be updated as the site changes. The date above reflects the most recent update.
