Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how oakviewjournal.org handles information collected from visitors to this website. This site is a static informational publication. It does not operate user accounts, process payments, or collect personally identifiable information for commercial purposes.

Information Collected

This site does not actively collect personally identifiable information from visitors beyond what is voluntarily submitted through the contact form on the About page. The contact form accepts name, email address, phone number (optional), and a message. This information is received for correspondence purposes only and is not shared with third parties.

Standard web server logs may record IP addresses, browser type, referring URLs, and pages visited. These logs are used for technical administration and security purposes only.

Cookies

This site uses a single cookie (stored in browser localStorage) to record whether a visitor has accepted or rejected the cookie notice banner. This storage item contains only a preference value ("accepted" or "rejected") and no personally identifiable information. It is not shared with any third party.

No third-party advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies are set by this site. If you use a browser extension that blocks cookies, the cookie preference banner may reappear on return visits.
