Privacy Policy
Last updated 15 September 2026
The German Council Pacific Coast (“GCPC”, “we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It is written to reflect the British Columbia Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and general good practice.
Cookies and tracking
This website does not use cookies, analytics, advertising, or any third‑party trackers. All fonts, images, and stylesheets are served from our own domain, so visiting the site does not load content from outside services. Because we set no cookies, there is no cookie banner and no separate cookie policy — this section is it.
What we collect
We only collect personal information that you choose to give us:
- Contact form. If you send us a message through the contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you enter so we can reply. Submissions are delivered by email to our mailbox and are not stored on this website.
- Direct contact. If you email us directly, we receive the contents of your message and your email address.
How we use it
We use the information solely for the purpose you provided it — responding to your enquiry. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties except where required by law.
How long we keep it
Messages and correspondence are kept only as long as needed to handle your request and our records.
Your rights
You may ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. To make a request, or if you have any questions about this policy, contact us via our contact form.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site and our activities evolve. The “last updated” date above shows when it last changed.
