Privacy Policy
Summary
This site is primarily informational. The only personal data you typically provide is your email address if you subscribe to updates.
- We do not publish personal medical details.
- We only use email addresses to send occasional updates (if you opt in).
- You can unsubscribe at any time.
What we collect
- Email address (only if you submit the “Subscribe” form on the main page or use the unsubscribe form).
- Basic web server logs (typical for any website): IP address, browser/user agent, and the pages/files requested.
- Analytics events (if enabled in your browser): the site uses Google Analytics (via gtag.js) to understand traffic in aggregate.
How we use it
- Email updates: to send occasional milestone/logistics/fundraising updates to subscribers.
- Site improvement: to see what pages are helpful and to fix issues (using aggregated analytics and logs).
Email subscriptions and unsubscribe
The subscription form on the main page submits to a third-party email handling endpoint (api.lfbuilders.ca). The form includes a hidden “honeypot” field used to reduce bot signups.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the dedicated page: unsubscribe.html.
Third-party services and embeds
This site links to or embeds services that may set their own cookies or collect usage data:
- GoFundMe (donation links and embed widget)
- Google Analytics (gtag.js)
- CDN-hosted libraries (e.g., Font Awesome, GSAP on the main page)
- Links to social platforms (TikTok, Facebook, YouTube)
If you prefer, you can block third-party scripts and cookies in your browser settings and still read the core site content.
Data sharing
We do not sell personal information. Email addresses are used for updates only. Analytics data is used in aggregate to understand site performance.
Retention
Email addresses are retained only as long as necessary to provide updates, or until you unsubscribe. Server/analytics logs are retained according to typical operational needs and provider defaults.
