Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Ormonxel.org ("the Site") is a static educational reference website. This Privacy Policy describes how the Site handles information when you visit its pages. The Site does not operate a user account system, does not sell products, and does not process payment data.

2. Information Collected Automatically

When you access the Site, standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages requested, and access timestamps. This data is retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes and is not linked to any personal identity.

No third-party analytics scripts (such as Google Analytics) are currently installed on this site. If analytics are added in the future, this policy will be updated to reflect that change.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

The Site uses a cookie consent preference stored in your browser's localStorage under the key ormonxel_cookie_consent. This stores only your Accept or Reject choice and contains no personally identifiable information. It is used to prevent the cookie banner from reappearing on subsequent visits.

No tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site identifiers are set by this site.

4. Contact Form

The contact form on the About page collects your name, email address, phone number (optional), and message text. This form operates as a client-side simulation only — no data entered into the form is transmitted to any server or stored anywhere. The form is provided for user interface demonstration purposes. If you wish to contact the site operator, use the email address listed in the footer.

5. External Links and Third-Party Content

The Site contains links to external websites including MushroomExpert.com, MycoBank, First Nature, and Health Canada. These sites operate under their own privacy policies. The Site also embeds images from Wikimedia Commons via direct URL references. Wikimedia's privacy policy applies to those requests.

6. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. No information is knowingly collected from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the contact form (which does not transmit data), no action is required as no data is retained.

7. Data Security

As a static website, the Site does not store user data on its servers. No database is maintained. The Site is served over HTTPS where configured by the hosting provider.

8. Your Rights (Canadian Residents)

Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), individuals have the right to access personal information held about them and to request corrections. Since this Site does not collect or retain personal information, no such requests are applicable. For any questions, contact info@ormonxel.org.

9. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site following a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
