1. Information Collected
This site does not collect personal information automatically. No tracking pixels, advertising networks, or behavioral analytics tools are installed. Server logs may record IP addresses, referral URLs, and browser type as standard web server operation; these logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes only.
If you submit the contact form on this site, the information you enter — name, email address, phone number, and message text — is transmitted to the site operator. This information is used only to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.
2. Cookies
This site uses a single cookie via localStorage to store your preference regarding the cookie notice banner. No cross-site tracking cookies are used. No cookies are set by third-party advertising or analytics networks.
You may reject the cookie notice banner at any time. Doing so stores a preference record locally in your browser but does not transmit any data to the server.
3. Third-Party Content
Article images on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org) under Creative Commons licences. When your browser loads these images, a request is made to Wikimedia Foundation servers. The Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy applies to those requests.
External links on this site point to government websites (canada.gc.ca), museum collections (historymuseum.ca, vam.ac.uk), and publicly available reference databases. Following these links takes you away from this site and subjects you to those sites' respective privacy policies.
4. Data Security
This site does not store submitted form data in a database. Contact form submissions generate a simulated response in the browser; no data is transmitted to or stored on a server. If future functionality requires server-side form processing, this policy will be updated accordingly.
5. Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
6. Changes to This Policy
