Overview
Stonebrook Home (accessible at stonebrookhome.org) is an informational website covering rural well water systems in Canada. This page describes what information, if any, is collected when you visit, and how it is handled. This site does not operate a user account system, does not sell products or services online, and does not engage in advertising.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit any website, your browser automatically sends certain technical information to the server delivering the page. This typically includes your IP address, the browser and operating system you are using, the page you requested, and the referring URL if you arrived via a link. This information is recorded in standard server log files.
Server log data on this site is used solely for the purposes of diagnosing technical problems and understanding aggregate traffic patterns. Individual log entries are not used to identify, profile, or track visitors. Logs are retained for a limited period consistent with standard server administration practices.
Cookies and Local Storage
This site does not set tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any cookies that persist beyond your browser session for behavioural or analytical purposes.
The homepage uses browser localStorage — a client-side storage mechanism built into your browser — to record whether you have acknowledged the cookie notice. This preference is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to the server. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.
No third-party analytics scripts, social media embeds, or advertising code are loaded on this site. Google Fonts is loaded from Google's content delivery network for typography rendering; this request sends your IP address to Google's servers as a standard web request. If you prefer not to load external fonts, your browser's network request blocking tools can prevent this.
Contact Form Submissions
The contact form on the About page operates as a client-side simulation only. No data entered into the form is transmitted to any server or stored in any database. The form demonstrates expected user interaction behaviour without collecting or processing any personal information.
