Privacy Policy

Overview

MapleThread (maplethread.org) is a static informational website. This policy describes what data, if any, is collected when you visit this site, how it is used, and your choices regarding that data.

Data We Do Not Collect

This site does not operate a server-side backend that processes form submissions. The contact form on the home page uses client-side JavaScript only. No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or message content entered into that form are transmitted to or stored on any server.

This site does not use advertising networks, remarketing pixels, or tracking scripts from third parties.

Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses browser localStorage to record your response to the cookie consent banner. This value (cookie_consent) is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to any external service. You may clear it at any time through your browser's storage settings.

No session cookies, authentication cookies, or tracking cookies are set by maplethread.org directly.

Third-Party Resources

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). Google may log the IP address of font requests in accordance with Google's own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.

Images on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org) under Creative Commons licences. Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy applies to those requests: foundation.wikimedia.org.

Server Logs

Standard web server access logs may be generated by the hosting provider. These logs typically include IP address, request path, browser user-agent string, and timestamp. They are used for security and diagnostics and are not used for tracking individual visitors across sessions.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for a general adult audience. No content is directed at children under the age of 13, and no personal data from children is knowingly collected.

Your Rights

If you are located in Canada, the European Union, or another jurisdiction with applicable privacy legislation, you have the right to request access to or deletion of any personal data that may have been collected. Given that this site does not collect or retain personal data server-side, there is typically no data to provide or delete.
