Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how mapleandporch.eu ("the site") handles information related to visitors. The site is a static informational resource. It does not operate user accounts, process payments, or store personal data on a server.

2. Data We Collect

The site does not actively collect personal data. No registration forms, tracking pixels, or analytics scripts that transmit visitor data to third parties are used.

The contact form on the About page is a front-end simulation. It does not transmit any data to a server. Nothing entered in that form is stored or sent anywhere.

3. Cookies

The site uses a single cookie preference stored in your browser's localStorage. This stores only your cookie consent choice ("accepted" or "rejected"). It does not identify you personally and is not transmitted to any server.

No third-party cookies are set by this site. Embedded images are loaded from Wikimedia Commons servers; their standard server logs may record your IP address as part of normal HTTP operation, subject to the Wikimedia Foundation's own privacy policy.

4. Third-Party Services

The site loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Google's privacy policy applies to any data collected by their font delivery infrastructure. No other third-party scripts or tracking services are loaded.

External links on the site point to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy does not cover the practices of those sites.

5. Server Logs

Standard web server access logs may record IP addresses, request paths, timestamps, and browser identifiers as part of normal HTTP operation. These logs are used only for technical diagnostics. They are not used to build visitor profiles and are not shared with third parties.

6. Your Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), residents of the European Economic Area have rights regarding personal data including access, rectification, erasure, and objection. Because this site does not store personal data, most of these rights have no practical application here. If you believe personal data relating to you has been processed in connection with this site, contact us via the form on the About page.

7. Children

This site is not directed at children under 16. No data is knowingly collected from minors.

8. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in how the site operates. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

9. Contact

Questions about this policy can be submitted via the contact form on the About page. Note that the form is a front-end simulation and does not transmit data; it is provided for user convenience only.
