This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit or use our website and services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We do not require public visitors to create an account to browse the website. The only account system is for administrative users who manage content. If you are an administrator, we collect the username and a hashed password used to log in to the admin panel.

When you visit our website, certain standard information may be logged automatically by the web server, including:

Your IP address (in anonymized form where possible)
Browser type, device type, and operating system
Pages visited, referring URLs, and timestamps
General search queries entered on the site

3. Cookies

We use small text files stored by your browser ("cookies") to provide and improve our services:

Session cookies: required to maintain an administrator's login session.
Preference cookies: may be used to remember basic UI preferences.

You can control or disable cookies using your browser settings. Disabling cookies may impact the admin panel.

5. Third-Party Services

Our website may use or embed content from third-party services (analytics platforms, CDNs for fonts and assets, etc.). Each of those providers operates under its own privacy policy.

6. Data Security

Admin passwords are hashed with PHP's native bcrypt (password_hash). Images uploaded through the admin area are validated for file type and size before being stored. We recommend accessing the site via HTTPS, which is enabled by default on most modern hosts.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We take all reasonable steps to protect information but cannot guarantee its absolute security.

The website and its content are intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
