Privacy Policy

1. Who operates this site

LocalBrookline (localbrookline.eu) is a static informational website covering freshwater stream ecology and water quality monitoring in Poland. The site is not operated by a commercial entity. Contact: info@localbrookline.eu.

2. Data we collect

This site does not use any analytics tracking scripts, advertising networks, or form processing that sends data to third-party servers. The contact form on the home page is a front-end simulation that does not transmit any data over the network.

Your web server or internet service provider may log standard access information (IP address, browser type, pages viewed, timestamp) as part of normal server operation. This site operator does not actively collect or process these server logs for identifying individual visitors.

3. Cookies

This site uses a single first-party cookie preference stored in your browser's localStorage. This value records whether you have accepted or rejected the cookie notice that appears on the home page. No data from this preference is transmitted to any external service.

The site does not set any third-party cookies. No advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or analytics cookies are used.

4. External content and links

Images displayed on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons servers (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads one of these images, Wikimedia's servers may log your IP address as part of their standard server operation. This site has no control over Wikimedia's data handling. Refer to the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy for details.

Links to external sites (GIOŚ, EEA, IMGW, regional WIOŚ offices) are provided for reference only. This site is not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.

5. Fonts

This site loads web fonts (Inter, JetBrains Mono) from Google Fonts. When fonts are requested, Google's servers receive your IP address and browser information. See the Google Privacy Policy for details. If you prefer not to use Google Fonts, you can block requests to fonts.googleapis.com in your browser or network settings; the site will fall back to system fonts.

6. Contact form

The contact form on the home page is a client-side simulation. When you submit the form, a success message is displayed locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server. No email is generated or received by this site. The form is provided as a visual element consistent with a real contact form for demonstration purposes.

7. Your rights

Since this site does not collect personal data, there is no personal data to access, rectify, or delete. If you have any questions about how your data is handled, contact info@localbrookline.eu.
