The Banner Archive — Privacy.

This privacy notice explains what CalgaryTrail collects, what it does not collect, how long we retain anything, who else handles the data, and the rights adults have under Canadian and applicable European privacy regimes. Last revised on the date in the footer below. The trail crew rewrites this notice plainly and without legal jargon every time the site changes, so it is honest rather than ornamental.

1. What we collect.

Two strictly necessary entries are stored on the visitor's device on the first visit. These are required for the site to remember the eighteen-or-older confirmation and the cookie-consent record. They are not transmitted to a remote server. Both are stored as cookies and as localStorage entries with a sibling expiry timestamp.

If the visitor accepts non-essential cookies, the site loads Google's consent-mode-v2 measurement script. That script may set its own cookies for analytics and advertising signals; those cookies are listed in full on the Ribbon Notes page.

2. What we do not collect.

A negative inventory is more useful than a positive one for a small site. We do not collect any of the following:

3. Third-party processors.

A short, complete list of every other party that may handle visitor data:

4. Cookies and local storage.

A complete inventory with categories, purposes, and expiry windows lives on the Ribbon Notes page. The two strictly necessary entries listed in section one are required for the site to function. Everything else is opt-in via the cookie notice.

5. How we use the data.

The two strictly necessary entries are used to remember the eighteen-or-older confirmation and the cookie preferences across pages of the site. The optional Google Analytics measurements, if accepted, are used to understand how many visits the site receives and which pages are read. The trail crew uses the analytics dashboard to decide which placards need to be rewritten more clearly.

No other use. The trail crew does not sell, trade, or transfer collected data to anyone for advertising, profiling, lookalike modelling, lead generation, or any other purpose.

6. Data retention.

7. Your rights.

Adult visitors in Canada have rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and, in Quebec, under Loi 25. Adult visitors in the European Union and the United Kingdom have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation. In every regime, those rights typically include the right of access, the right of correction, the right of deletion, the right to withdraw consent, and the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.

The cleanest way to exercise the right of deletion on this site is to clear the cookie storage in the browser settings, which removes both strictly necessary entries and any optional analytics cookies. The site will treat the next visit as a first visit. The trail crew does not hold any data on remote servers, so there is nothing remote to delete.

8. Security.

The site is served over HTTPS by the hosting provider. The strictly necessary cookies use the SameSite=Lax attribute. The localStorage entries are accessible only to scripts loaded from the same origin. The site does not run third-party JavaScript before consent.

9. International transfers.

The Google services used (Analytics 4 and Fonts) are operated globally; their requests may be served by data centres in the United States, Europe, or other regions depending on the visitor's network conditions. Their data-transfer arrangements are described in their own privacy notices.

10. Changes to this notice.

When this notice changes materially, the version field of hvx_consent_v2 is incremented and the cookie banner reappears on the next visit so adults can re-confirm their preferences. Small grammatical edits are made in place without re-prompting.

11. Contact.

Email [email protected]. The writer reads the inbox once a day and answers within a working week. The trail crew is reachable in person at the studio above the stencil shop on Stephen Avenue, Calgary, AB, Canada, T2P 1J9.
