Privacy Policy

1. Overview

warmpaperhouse.eu is a static informational website. This page describes what data, if any, is collected when visiting the site, how cookies are used, and the rights visitors have under applicable European data protection law.

2. Data Controller

The responsible party for data processing on this website is the operator of warmpaperhouse.eu, reachable through the contact form on the About page.

3. What Data is Collected

This website does not use server-side analytics tracking, advertising pixels, or third-party tracking scripts. The following data is processed:

• Web server logs: Standard access logs (IP address, request path, timestamp, browser type) may be retained by the hosting provider for a limited period for security and stability purposes. This site operator does not actively collect or analyse this data.
• Contact form submissions: The contact form on this site uses a JavaScript simulation. No form data is transmitted to or stored on any server. The message exists only in the visitor's browser session and is discarded when the browser window is closed or the confirmation is dismissed.
• Cookie preference: The cookie consent choice (accept or reject) is stored in the visitor's browser localStorage. This value stays on the visitor's device and is not transmitted to any server.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses one item of browser localStorage:

• wph_cookie_consent — stores whether the visitor accepted or rejected the cookie notice. Value: "accepted" or "rejected". Stored locally in the browser; not transmitted anywhere.

No third-party cookies are set by this site. External fonts are loaded from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Google may set its own cookies according to Google's privacy policy. Images are loaded from upload.wikimedia.org (Wikimedia Commons). Wikimedia may log requests according to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy.

5. External Links and Third-Party Content

Article pages link to external institutional websites (museum collections, craft organisations). Following these links takes visitors to third-party sites governed by their own privacy policies. WarmPaperHouse has no control over and takes no responsibility for third-party data practices.

Images displayed on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons servers. When a page containing a Wikimedia image loads, the visitor's browser makes a direct request to Wikimedia's servers, and standard web request data (IP address, timestamp) may be logged by Wikimedia in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.

6. Legal Basis (GDPR)

To the extent personal data is incidentally processed (server access logs held by the hosting provider), the legal basis is the legitimate interest of the site operator in maintaining site security and availability (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). No data subject to visitor consent is collected or processed by the site operator.

7. Data Retention

The site operator does not store contact form data. Server access logs held by the hosting provider are subject to the provider's retention policy, typically not exceeding 30 days unless legal or security obligations require longer retention.

8. Your Rights

Under GDPR, visitors have the right to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data held about them. Since this site does not retain visitor-submitted data, there is in practice no stored personal data to access or delete. Rights inquiries may be submitted through the contact form.

9. Changes to this Policy

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in site functionality or applicable law. The effective date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision.
