Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This privacy policy describes how ClearPorchway.org handles information when you visit this site. This is a static informational site. No user accounts exist and no personal data is stored on a server operated by this site.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit any website, your browser transmits certain information to the server hosting that site — including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and the pages you request. This information is logged by web hosting infrastructure as part of normal server operation. ClearPorchway does not use this log data for tracking or profiling individual visitors.

Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses browser localStorage — not a server-side cookie — to record your response to the cookie notice displayed on the homepage. The stored value is a single string indicating whether you accepted or rejected the notice. No other browser storage is set by this site.

If you clear your browser's local storage, the notice will reappear on your next visit to the homepage.

Third-Party Content

Images on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org), operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. When your browser loads these images, your IP address and request details are transmitted to Wikimedia Foundation servers. Wikimedia's privacy practices are described at foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy.

Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) is used to load the Inter typeface. Loading this resource transmits your IP address to Google servers. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
