1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to the website brickhearthlane.org (the "Site"). It describes the categories of information that may be collected when you visit the Site, how that information is used, and the choices available to you.
2. Information Collected
Automatically collected technical data: When you access the Site, standard web server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and the pages visited. This information is used for operational purposes, including monitoring server performance and diagnosing errors. It is not linked to personal identity.
Contact form submissions: The contact form on the homepage collects your name, email address, phone number, and the message you submit. This form processes data locally in your browser and does not transmit data to a backend server. No submission data is stored on site servers.
Cookies and local storage: The Site uses browser localStorage to record your cookie consent choice (accept or reject). No tracking cookies are set. Third-party analytics or advertising scripts are not loaded by default.
3. Use of Information
Automatically collected log data is used solely for site administration and security purposes. The Site does not use this data for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.
4. Third-Party Content
Images displayed on the Site are served from Wikimedia Commons infrastructure (upload.wikimedia.org) under Creative Commons licenses. Loading these images causes your browser to connect to Wikimedia servers, which may log connection data according to the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.
External links to NFPA, CSIA, WETT, and government resources open in new tabs. Those sites are governed by their own privacy policies.
5. Data Retention
Server log data is retained for a limited period for operational purposes and is not archived long-term. No personal data submitted through the contact form is retained on site infrastructure.
6. Your Choices
You may reject cookies when prompted by the banner on the homepage. Rejecting cookies prevents any optional tracking mechanisms from activating. The core content of the Site is accessible regardless of your cookie consent choice.
7. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed toward individuals under the age of 16. No information is knowingly collected from children.
8. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated periodically. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the Site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
