1. Data Controller
The website riverporchlane.eu is operated as an editorial information resource. For questions about data handling, contact: contact@riverporchlane.eu.
2. What Data Is Collected
Server Log Files
When you access any page on this site, the web server automatically records standard technical data in its log files. This typically includes the IP address of the requesting device, the date and time of the request, the URL of the page requested, the HTTP status code returned, and the referring URL and browser identifier string if transmitted by your browser. This data is used solely for technical operation and security monitoring of the server.
Cookies and Local Storage
This site does not use tracking, advertising or analytics cookies. The only data stored in your browser is a single localStorage entry recording your response to the cookie information banner (accepted or rejected). This entry is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to any server.
Contact Form
The contact form on the About page is a frontend-only simulation. Data entered into the form is not transmitted to any server, not stored anywhere and is cleared from the browser when you close the page. No personal data entered into the contact form is processed or retained by this site.
3. Use of Data
Server log data is used exclusively for the following purposes:
- Ensuring the technical functionality and availability of the site
- Identifying and responding to security incidents (e.g. attempted unauthorised access)
Log data is not used for profiling, marketing or any purpose beyond server operation.
4. Third-Party Content
This site displays images hosted on Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org), a public repository operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. When your browser loads an image from that domain, your browser's request (including your IP address) is received by Wikimedia Foundation servers. The Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy applies to those requests: foundation.wikimedia.org.
No other third-party scripts, tracking pixels, social media widgets or advertising networks are loaded by this site.
5. Data Retention
Server log files are retained for a period consistent with the requirements of the hosting provider's operational procedures and applicable law, typically not exceeding 30 days, after which they are deleted.
6. Your Rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Polish Act on Personal Data Protection, you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of personal data that relates to you, to the extent such data is held. Given that this site processes only anonymous server log data and stores no user-submitted information, the practical scope of these rights in the context of this site is limited. For any enquiry, contact contact@riverporchlane.eu.
7. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
8. Disclaimer
The content published on riverporchlane.eu is for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes engineering, legal or professional advice. No liability is accepted for decisions made in reliance on the information published here.
