Information Collected
WarmThread does not require account registration and does not solicit personally identifying information from visitors outside the optional contact form. The contact form collects name, email address, and optionally a phone number and message. This information is not transmitted to any server and is handled entirely in the browser. No form submission data is stored or processed beyond the local session.
Server Logs
Like most websites, warmthread.org generates standard server access logs. These may include IP address, browser type, referring URL, and page visited. These logs are used for operational purposes (diagnosing errors, monitoring traffic volume) and are not shared with third parties for marketing.
Cookies and localStorage
This site uses browser localStorage to store your cookie consent preference (accepted or rejected). No advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or cross-site identifiers are used. If you reject cookies, the preference is recorded in localStorage so the banner is not shown again — no additional data is written.
Third-Party Content
Images on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). Wikimedia Foundation has its own privacy policy applicable to that content. This site uses Google Fonts, which loads typeface files from Google's servers. Google's standard privacy policy applies to that request.
This site does not use analytics scripts, advertising networks, or social media tracking buttons.
Children's Privacy
This site does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. The contact form is not intended for use by minors without parental consent.
Data Retention
Since no personal data is stored server-side by this site, there is no retention period applicable. Server logs are retained for operational purposes according to standard hosting provider practices.
Your Rights
Visitors in Canada have rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation. Since this site does not collect or store personal data beyond browser-local consent preferences, there is no data to access, correct, or delete on request. If you have a concern about any data held by the hosting provider, requests should be directed to that provider.
External Links
Articles on this site link to external resources including inspection.canada.ca, canada.ca, and Wikimedia. WarmThread is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.
