Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how MarketGrove Media Inc. ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit marketgrove.org. We take a minimal-data approach: we do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
1. Information Collected
We collect only the information necessary to operate this website:
- Server logs: Your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited are stored in standard web server access logs for up to 30 days. This data is used solely for diagnosing technical issues and understanding aggregate traffic patterns.
- Contact form submissions: When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and phone number. This information is used only to respond to your enquiry and is not shared with third parties.
- Cookies: We use a single first-party cookie to store your consent preference (accept or reject). No third-party tracking cookies are placed on this site.
2. Cookie Policy
Upon your first visit to the homepage, a cookie consent banner is displayed. Your choice is stored locally in your browser using localStorage under the key mg_cookie_consent. No data from this preference is transmitted to our servers.
If you click "Reject", no cookies beyond the technical session requirements are set. You can clear your browser's localStorage at any time to reset this preference.
3. Third-Party Services
This site loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) and images from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). These external services may set their own cookies in accordance with their respective privacy policies. We do not control those services.
4. Data Retention
Server logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days. Contact form data is retained for up to 12 months unless you request earlier deletion.
5. Your Rights
Under applicable Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), you have the right to:
- Request access to personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data where there is no legal obligation to retain it
To exercise these rights, contact us at info@marketgrove.org.
6. Security
Data transmitted to this site is encrypted via HTTPS. We implement standard server security practices, though no method of internet transmission is completely secure.
