How maplecrossing.eu handles information and uses cookies.
Last updated: May 2025
This Privacy Policy applies to the website maplecrossing.eu (the "Site"). The Site is a static informational resource and does not operate user accounts, membership systems or e-commerce. The policy describes what information may be collected when you visit the Site and how it is used.
The contact form on the Site collects name, email address, telephone number (optional) and message text. This information is submitted for the purpose of responding to enquiries. The form operates as a frontend-only simulation on this static site and does not transmit data to any server. No submitted data is stored, forwarded or processed beyond the local browser session.
As with most websites, server infrastructure may automatically record standard access log data, including IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages requested and time of access. This data is used for operational and security purposes and is not used to identify individual users.
The Site does not use third-party analytics scripts, advertising networks, social media tracking pixels or similar technologies that collect personal data for profiling purposes.
The Site uses a single first-party cookie stored in localStorage for the purpose of recording your response to the cookie consent banner (accept or reject). This preference is stored in your browser and is not transmitted to any server. No third-party cookies are set by this Site.
You may clear this stored preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or site data.
Images displayed on the Site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons servers (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, a request is made to Wikimedia Foundation servers, which may log your IP address in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy. This Site has no control over Wikimedia's data processing.
External links to third-party websites (GBIF, flora.org.pl, EEA, Wikimedia) are provided for reference. This Site is not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites.
As the Site does not collect or store personal data beyond server log files controlled by hosting infrastructure, there is no user-level data retention to describe. Server logs are retained according to the hosting provider's standard policies.
Under applicable data protection law (including the GDPR where applicable), you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion and objection concerning personal data that relates to you. As this Site does not store personal data in any accessible user database, these rights apply primarily to server log data held by the hosting provider. For such requests, contact the site administrator through the contact form on the main page.
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 changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
