Overview
This privacy policy describes how Dexorloe.org (the "site") handles information when you visit. The site is a static informational reference and does not operate user accounts, collect payment information, or build visitor profiles.
Information Collected
Server Logs
Web servers typically record standard access logs including IP addresses, browser type, pages requested, and referrer URLs. These logs are used solely for security and operational purposes and are not shared with third parties. Log retention follows standard server practices and does not exceed 30 days.
Contact Form
The contact form on the About page collects name, email address, phone number, and message text. This form is for informational correspondence only. Form submissions are processed locally (client-side simulation) and no data is transmitted to a server. No data entered in the form is stored or retained.
Cookies and Local Storage
The site uses the browser's localStorage API to store your cookie consent preference. This is a single key-value entry (cookie_consent: accepted or cookie_consent: rejected) that persists in your browser until you clear your browser data. No tracking cookies are set, and no third-party analytics or advertising cookies are used.
Third-Party Resources
Google Fonts
The site loads typefaces from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). This creates a direct request from your browser to Google's servers when you visit, which may log your IP address under Google's own privacy policy. If you prefer to block this, browser extensions such as uBlock Origin can prevent external font loading.
Wikimedia Commons Images
Article images are served directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). Requests to load these images are subject to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy.
External Links
This site links to external resources including the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (rasc.ca), DarkSky International (darksky.org), NASA (nasa.gov), Stellarium (stellarium.org), and others. This site does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices of those linked sites.
Data Sharing
This site does not sell, rent, or share visitor information with third parties for marketing purposes. No advertising networks are integrated. No visitor data is shared with any party beyond what is described in the server logs section above.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 years of age and does not knowingly collect information from minors.
