Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
1. Who operates this site
This website, silverandbrook.eu, is operated as an informational publication covering freshwater photography and nature observation in Poland. The site does not collect, process, or store personal data on its own servers as part of normal operation.
2. Data collected through forms
This site contains a contact form with fields for name, email address, phone number, and message. The form operates entirely in the browser and does not transmit data to any server. No personal data entered into the form is stored, sent, or processed beyond the user’s own device. A confirmation message is displayed after submission as a visual indicator; no actual data transfer occurs.
3. Cookies and local storage
This site uses the browser’s localStorage (not a traditional cookie) to store a single preference: whether you have accepted or rejected the cookie notice. The stored value is a string indicating your choice. No personal identifiers, browsing data, or tracking information are stored in localStorage.
If you clear your browser’s local storage, this preference is reset and the cookie notice will be displayed again on your next visit.
No third-party tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or advertising cookies are set by this site.
4. Third-party content
This site displays images hosted on Wikimedia Commons servers (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, your IP address is disclosed to Wikimedia Foundation servers as part of the HTTP request. This is a standard function of how web browsers retrieve images from external servers. Wikimedia Foundation’s privacy practices are documented at foundation.wikimedia.org.
Typography is loaded via Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). When your browser retrieves font files, your IP address is transmitted to Google servers. Google’s privacy practices for this service are documented at policies.google.com.
5. Server logs
Web hosting servers typically generate access logs containing the IP addresses of visitors, the pages requested, the date and time of access, and browser identification strings. These logs are generated by the hosting infrastructure and are subject to the hosting provider’s data retention and privacy policies. This site operator does not actively collect, review, or use these logs for any purpose.
6. External links
This site links to external websites including official Polish government sites, national park websites, and international organisations. Visiting these sites subjects you to their respective privacy policies. This site has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of linked external sites.
7. Your rights
As this site does not collect or process personal data, there is no personal data held about you that would be subject to access, correction, or deletion requests. If you believe personal data about you has been processed in connection with this site in a manner not described in this policy, contact can be made via the form on the About page.
8. Changes to this policy
This privacy policy may be updated to reflect changes in site functionality or applicable regulations. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
