Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how StoneWindowWay (stonewindowway.org) handles information in connection with your use of this website. This is a static reference resource with no user accounts, no e-commerce functionality, and no backend data collection through forms.
Information Collected
Server Logs
Web hosting servers automatically record standard access log data when pages are requested. This typically includes IP addresses, browser type, referring URL, and the date and time of access. This data is used only for operational purposes such as security monitoring and traffic analysis. It is not shared with third parties for advertising purposes.
Cookies and Local Storage
This site uses browser localStorage to store your cookie consent choice (accepted or rejected). No tracking cookies are placed on your device without your acceptance. If you reject cookies, the consent preference itself is stored in localStorage so the banner does not re-appear.
Contact Form
The contact form on the About page is a frontend-only simulation. No data entered into the form is transmitted to a server, stored in a database, or sent by email. The form is provided as a visual element consistent with the site format. If you need to contact the site operator, use the domain registrar's WHOIS contact information.
Third-Party Content
Wikimedia Commons Images
Images on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons servers (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads a page containing these images, a request is made to Wikimedia Foundation servers. Wikimedia's own privacy policy governs data collected by those servers. See foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy.
Google Fonts
This site loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Your browser sends a request to Google's servers to retrieve font files. Google's privacy policy governs that data collection. See policies.google.com/privacy.
External Links
This site links to external resources including the Stained Glass Association of America and the National Research Council of Canada. Following those links takes you to third-party websites with their own privacy practices. This site has no control over and no responsibility for the content or data practices of linked external sites.
Children's Privacy
This site does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian believes that a child has submitted personal information through this site, contact the site operator to request removal.
Data Retention
Server access logs are retained for a standard period defined by the hosting provider, typically 30 to 90 days, after which they are deleted automatically. No other personal data is retained by this site.
Your Rights
If you are located in Canada, you may have rights under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) or applicable provincial privacy legislation. As this site collects minimal personal data, most requests for access, correction, or deletion can be addressed by clearing your browser's localStorage data, which removes the locally stored cookie consent preference.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy 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 are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
Contact
Questions about this Privacy Policy can be directed through the site's contact form on the About page.
