Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. Who Operates This Site

This website is operated under the domain riverandgardenco.eu and provides reference information on rain garden design and stormwater management. The site does not collect personal data through forms for commercial purposes.

2. Data Collected

This site is static and does not operate a database or user accounts. The following limited data interactions occur:

  • Server access logs: Standard web server logs may record IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, and requested URLs. These logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes only.
  • Contact form: The contact form on the About page performs a client-side simulation only. No form data is transmitted to any server, stored, or processed.
  • localStorage: The cookie consent banner stores your Accept or Reject choice in your browser's localStorage under the key cookie_choice. This data never leaves your device.

3. Cookies

This site uses no tracking cookies or analytics cookies. The cookie banner records your preference in localStorage (not a browser cookie) solely to avoid showing the banner on repeat visits. No third-party advertising or tracking scripts are loaded.

4. Third-Party Content

Images displayed on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org) under Creative Commons licences. When your browser loads these images, Wikimedia servers may log your IP address according to the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.

Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Google may process connection metadata as described in the Google Privacy Policy.

5. Your Rights Under GDPR

Residents of the European Economic Area have rights under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), including the right of access, rectification, and erasure of personal data. Given that this site processes no personal data beyond server access logs (which are not linked to individual identities), there is no personal data to retrieve or erase from this site's systems.

If you have questions about third-party data processing (Wikimedia, Google Fonts), consult the respective privacy policies of those organisations.

6. Children's Privacy

This site does not knowingly collect information from persons under the age of 16.

7. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated without individual notice. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
