Last updated: June 8, 2026

Overview

This privacy policy describes how pineandporch.org handles information related to visitors of this website. This site is a static informational resource and does not operate user accounts, subscriptions, or e-commerce.

Information Collected

Server Logs

When you visit this site, standard server access logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and the pages accessed. This information is used solely for technical operation and security purposes and is not linked to personally identifiable profiles.

Contact Form Submissions

If you submit the contact form on the About page, the information you enter (name, email address, phone number, and message) is collected. This information is used only to respond to the inquiry. It is not sold, shared with third parties for marketing, or used for any automated profiling.

Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses browser localStorage to store your cookie consent preference. This is a client-side storage mechanism that does not transmit data to the server. The preference is stored under the key pp_cookie_consent and contains either "accepted" or "rejected". No tracking cookies or analytics cookies are set by this site.

Third-Party Content

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Google's own privacy policy governs how font requests are handled. When your browser loads the page, it sends a request to Google's servers to retrieve the font files. Google may log this request per their standard practices.

Images on this site are served from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). Accessing these images sends a request to Wikimedia's servers; Wikimedia's privacy policy governs those interactions.

Data Retention

Server log data is retained for a limited period for technical and security purposes. Contact form data is retained only as long as necessary to respond to an inquiry and is not stored in a database on this site.

Your Rights

If you have submitted information through the contact form and wish to request correction or deletion of that information, you may contact the site through the same form with that request. Requests will be addressed on a reasonable-effort basis.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
