This Privacy Policy explains how Golden & Stone ("this site") handles information. This is a static educational website. It is designed to operate without collecting personal data on its server.
Information collected
The site does not require registration and does not ask visitors to create accounts. The pages themselves do not gather personal information from visitors as part of normal browsing.
The contact form
The contact form on this site runs entirely within your web browser. When you submit it, the form simulates a confirmation locally and does not transmit your name, email address or phone number to any server. Because the data is not sent anywhere, it is not stored, shared or retained by this site.
Cookies and local storage
This site does not set advertising or tracking cookies. To remember your cookie-banner choice, the site stores a single value in your browser's local storage. This value stays on your device, is not transmitted to any server, and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
Third-party content
Photographs are loaded from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org), and web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. When your browser requests these files, the relevant providers may receive technical information such as your IP address as part of serving the content. These services are governed by their own privacy policies.
External links
Articles link to external references such as national geological surveys and community databases. This site is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external websites.
Changes
This policy may be updated to reflect changes to the site. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
