Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 12, 2026

Overview

BrightlaneCo (brightlaneco.org) is a static informational website. No user accounts are created, no databases are maintained, and no personal data is stored on our servers. This policy describes the limited data handling practices in effect on this site.

Information We Do Not Collect

This site does not collect, store, or process:

  • Personal identification information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers entered into the contact form. The contact form is a front-end simulation only; no data is transmitted to any server.
  • Payment information of any kind.
  • Health information.
  • Location data beyond the general country or province level that may be inferred from standard web access logs.

Browser Storage (localStorage)

This site uses the browser's localStorage mechanism to store a single preference record: whether you have accepted or declined the cookie notice displayed on the homepage. This record is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to any server. It can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.

Third-Party Resources

This site loads resources from two external sources:

  • Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com): The Inter typeface is loaded from Google's font delivery network. When your browser requests this font, Google may log your IP address, browser type, and referring page in accordance with Google's own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.
  • Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org): Images displayed on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons. When your browser loads these images, Wikimedia Foundation may log standard server access data in accordance with Wikimedia's privacy policy, available at foundation.wikimedia.org.

Web Server Logs

Like all websites, BrightlaneCo's hosting environment generates standard server access logs that include IP addresses, request timestamps, requested URLs, and browser user agent strings. These logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostics purposes and are not used for marketing or shared with third parties.

Cookies

This site does not set HTTP cookies. The preference record described above under Browser Storage uses localStorage, which is distinct from cookies. No tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies are set by this site.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. No information is knowingly collected from children.

Links to External Sites

Articles on this site contain links to external resources such as provincial road condition systems, Parks Canada, and Transport Canada. This privacy policy applies only to brightlaneco.org. Third-party websites have their own privacy practices, which are not within our control or responsibility.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
