Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

BirchMarket.eu is a static informational website. No legal entity currently operates this site commercially. For content-related enquiries, use the contact form on the About page.

2. Data Collected

This website does not run server-side analytics, tracking pixels, or advertising scripts. Data that may be collected:

• Contact form submissions — name, email address, optional phone number, and message text entered voluntarily by the visitor. This data is processed on the client side only and is not transmitted to any server.
• Cookie preference — a single key (cookie_choice) stored in your browser's localStorage to remember whether you accepted or rejected the cookie notice. This value never leaves your device.
• Hosting logs — if this site is hosted on a third-party server, standard access logs (IP address, browser type, requested URL, timestamp) may be recorded by the hosting provider. BirchMarket.eu does not control or access these logs directly.

3. Cookies

The site uses a single localStorage entry to store your cookie banner choice. This is not a cookie in the HTTP sense; no cookies are set by this site's code. Third-party fonts loaded from Google Fonts may set their own cookies subject to Google's privacy policy.

4. Third-Party Services

• Google Fonts — typography is loaded from fonts.googleapis.com. Google may log font requests. See Google Privacy Policy.
• Wikimedia Commons — images are served directly from upload.wikimedia.org. Wikimedia Foundation may log image requests. See Wikimedia Privacy Policy.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Union, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, rectify, or erase personal data held about you. Since this site does not store personal data server-side, most GDPR rights are satisfied by default. For questions, use the contact form on the About page.

6. External Links

This site links to third-party websites (Lasy Państwowe, FAO, European Commission, Wikimedia). BirchMarket.eu is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites.

7. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site following a policy change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

8. Disclaimer

Content on BirchMarket.eu is provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, regulatory, or professional forestry advice. Readers should verify information against current Polish and EU regulations before making decisions based on content published here.
