Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 10, 2025

This privacy policy describes how rillhome.org ("the site", "we") collects and handles information from visitors. The site is operated by RillHome, registered in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Information Collected

The site does not require account registration and does not collect personal information from visitors who browse content. If you submit the contact form, the information you enter (name, phone number, email address, and message text) is sent directly to our email inbox and is not stored in a database on the server.

Cookies

The site sets a single first-party cookie to record your response to the cookie consent banner (accepted or rejected). This cookie does not contain personal information, does not track behaviour across sites, and expires after 365 days. No third-party analytics or advertising cookies are used.

Server Logs

Like all web servers, this site's hosting provider automatically records standard access log data: IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages requested, and timestamps. These logs are retained for up to 30 days for security and diagnostic purposes and are not shared with third parties.

Third-Party Content

Articles on this site display images hosted on Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, Wikimedia's servers receive your IP address as part of the standard HTTP request. Wikimedia's own privacy policy governs this data: foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy.

Your Rights Under PIPEDA

Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) gives you the right to access personal information we hold about you and to request corrections. To make a request, write to info@rillhome.org. We will respond within 30 days.
