This privacy policy describes how RiverHearth (riverhearth.org) handles information in connection with your use of this website. This site is a static informational resource. It does not operate user accounts, e-commerce, or subscription services.

Information Collected

Contact Form Submissions

This site includes a contact form that collects your name, email address, and optionally your phone number and message text. The form operates as a frontend-only interface — submissions are not transmitted to a server or stored in any database. The form is provided as a visual element for demonstration purposes. No submitted data is received or retained by this site.

Server Log Data

Like most web servers, the server hosting this site may automatically record standard access log information when you visit a page. This typically includes your IP address, the pages you access, the time of access, browser type, and referring URL. This data is used for server administration and is not used to identify individual visitors.

Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses localStorage — a browser storage mechanism — to save your response to the cookie consent notice displayed on the main page. This preference is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to any server. It is used solely to prevent the notice from appearing again once you have responded.

This site does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies.
