Privacy policy
LadnerBC.com is operated by Digified Media. This page says what the site collects when you visit or write to us, what we do with it and how to have it removed. The short version: you can read every page without telling us who you are.
When you visit
Server logs. The server that sends you a page records the request, as every web server does: your IP address, the time, the page you asked for, the page you came from and the kind of browser you use. We use the logs to keep the site running and to spot abuse. They are deleted after about two weeks, though a backup of the server can hold a copy for longer.
Visit statistics. We use Google Analytics to see which pages are read and how people find them. It sets cookies in your browser and records the pages you view, the kind of device and browser you use, your approximate location and the site that sent you here. Google processes that information on its own servers; Google's own page explains how it uses data from sites like this one. What we see is totals and trends. Your name and your email address are never part of it.
To stay out of those statistics, block cookies for this site in your browser or install Google's opt-out add-on. Every page works the same either way.
Cookies of our own. The site sets none for visitors.
When you write to us
We receive what you put in the message, which is usually your name, your email address and the message itself. It is stored in the site's database and sent to us by email. We use it to answer you and to correct the site. There is no mailing list to add you to.
We keep a message for as long as we need it to answer you and to keep a record of what was corrected. Ask us to delete yours and we will.
Who else sees it
Personal information is never sold. It is handled by the companies that provide the site's hosting, email delivery and statistics, and only so they can provide those services. We would also release information if the law required it.
Where it is stored
The site is hosted in the United States, and Google processes visit statistics on servers in several countries. Information held outside Canada is subject to the laws of the country where it is held.
Links to other sites
Our pages link to the City of Delta, DriveBC, the Ladner Village Market and other sites we don't run. Each has its own privacy policy.
Seeing, correcting or removing your information
Ask through the contact page and we'll tell you what we hold about you, correct it or delete it. If our answer doesn't satisfy you, you can take it to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
