We value your privacy. This page explains what we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect
When you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, category, message, and any photos you choose to submit.
If you choose to include a display name and a caption, those may appear publicly with approved gallery submissions.
When you visit the site, we and our service providers may automatically receive technical and usage information such as your IP address, browser and device details, approximate location, pages viewed, referral source, interaction events, and the date and time of your visit.
How We Use and Share Information
We use information to respond to messages, review submissions, operate and secure the community gallery, understand site usage, and improve the site.
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us operate, secure, measure, and support the site, including Google for analytics. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or with your direction or consent.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand traffic and how visitors interact with the site. Google may use cookies and similar technologies and receive technical and usage information for site measurement.
Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Cookies, Caching, and Similar Technologies
We use essential cookies for site security, preferences, and access to protected community-gallery images. These cookies are necessary for the site to function.
Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies for site measurement. Your browser may cache site files, such as images, styles, and scripts, to help pages load faster.
We no longer serve Google AdSense website ads. Embedded YouTube videos are separate Google services and may use their own cookies and display ads when played.
Your Privacy Choices
The site notice acknowledges our use of cookies, caching, and Google Analytics; dismissing it does not change Analytics settings. You can block or delete cookies and clear cached files through your browser settings, although some site features may not work correctly.
Security & Access Logs
To protect gallery images from abuse, we log access attempts and may temporarily block or ban suspicious activity.
These logs can include IP address, browser user agent, time of access, and the image requested.
Retention
Photos are retained for a limited time, and older uploads are removed automatically based on site settings.
Other information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including security, legal, and operational needs. If you need your submission removed, contact us and we will help.
Children’s Privacy
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can review and remove it as appropriate.
Changes to This Notice
We may update this notice as the site or our services change. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when the latest changes took effect.
