This Privacy Policy describes how QuietBrook.org (referred to as "this site") handles information when you visit or interact with it. This site is an informational resource and does not operate as a commercial service or collect personal information for marketing purposes.
Information Collected
This site does not use third-party tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or analytics services that identify individual visitors. The contact form on the home page collects name, email address, phone number, and message content. This information is submitted locally through the browser form and is not transmitted to any server or stored in any database. The form is provided as a reference interface only; submissions do not result in any data being collected or processed by this site.

This site uses browser localStorage to store your response to the cookie notice (accepted or rejected). This data remains in your browser and is not transmitted to any server. It can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
Server Logs
As with most websites, the web server hosting this site may automatically record standard technical information when pages are accessed, including IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes and is not used to identify individual users or shared with third parties.
Third-Party Content
This site displays images hosted on Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, Wikimedia's servers may record the request in their own logs, subject to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. This site also loads fonts from Google Fonts via the Google APIs CDN. Google's privacy practices apply to that connection.
