This Privacy Policy describes how Oakridge Collective Inc. ("we", "us") collects and handles information in connection with oakridgecollective.org (the "Site"). By accessing the Site, you accept the practices described here.
1. Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, our web server records standard access log data including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is retained for up to 90 days for security and diagnostic purposes and is not linked to any personally identified individual.
2. Cookies
The Site sets a single functional cookie (orc_cookie_consent) to remember your cookie-consent decision. This cookie contains no personally identifiable information and expires after 365 days. No third-party advertising or tracking cookies are placed. If you click "Reject" on the cookie banner, only the consent preference cookie is stored.
3. Contact form submissions
If you submit the contact form on the homepage, we collect the name, email address, and phone number you provide. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties. Submissions are retained for up to 24 months, after which they are deleted.
4. No sale or sharing of personal data
We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. Data may be disclosed if required by Canadian law or a valid court order.
5. Data security
The Site is served over HTTPS. Contact form submissions are transmitted using encryption. We maintain reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, though no transmission over the Internet is completely secure.
6. Your rights under PIPEDA
Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, and to withdraw consent for its further use. Requests can be directed to contact@oakridgecollective.org or by post to our Toronto address.
