Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how localporchlight.eu (referred to as "the site") handles information collected when you visit and use this website. The site is an informational resource; it does not sell products or process payments.

2. Information Collected

The site collects minimal information. The following categories may apply:

• Browsing data: Standard server logs may record IP addresses, browser type, referring URLs, and pages visited. This data is not linked to personal identity and is used only for aggregate traffic analysis and security purposes.
• Cookies: The site uses a single preference cookie to record whether you have accepted or rejected the cookie notice. No tracking or advertising cookies are set by this site.
• Contact form: The contact form on the About page is a client-side demonstration. No form data is transmitted to any server or stored.

3. Cookies

A cookie named cookie_choice is stored in your browser's localStorage when you interact with the cookie notice. It records only "accepted" or "rejected" and is used to prevent the notice from reappearing. It contains no personal data.

You can clear this at any time through your browser settings. Rejecting the cookie notice has no effect on your ability to browse the site.

4. Third-Party Content

Images displayed on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org), a public media repository operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. Accessing these images may result in a request being logged by Wikimedia servers. Their privacy policy is available at foundation.wikimedia.org.

The site loads web fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Google's privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Data Retention

Server logs, if retained, are kept for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes only. No personal data is sold, shared with third parties for marketing, or used for profiling.

6. Your Rights

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Polish data protection law (implementing Regulation 2016/679), you have rights including access to data held about you, correction, and erasure. Because this site retains no personally identifiable information beyond standard server logs, there is typically nothing to access or erase. For enquiries, use the contact 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 periodically. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
