This Privacy Policy describes how harbornest.org collects, uses, and stores information from visitors to this website. By using this site, you accept the practices described here.
Information Collected
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit this site, standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and time of access. This information is used solely for site security and aggregate traffic analysis. It is not linked to personally identifiable information.
Information You Provide
If you submit the contact form on this site, you provide a name, email address, optional phone number, and a message. This information is not transmitted to any third-party service and is not stored server-side. The form operates through a client-side simulation only. No personal data from the contact form is retained.
Cookies and Local Storage
This site uses browser localStorage — not traditional HTTP cookies — to store a single user preference: whether you have acknowledged the cookie consent notice. No tracking or advertising cookies are placed. No third-party analytics cookies are used.
The localStorage value stored is:
- Key: harbornest_cookie_consent
- Value: "accepted" or "rejected"
- Purpose: Prevents the consent banner from appearing on every page visit once a choice has been made
This value can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's site data for harbornest.org.
Third-Party Content
This site displays images hosted on Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, a request is made to Wikimedia servers, which may log your IP address in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.
This site uses Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com) to load the Inter typeface. Google's collection and use of information through this service is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
External Links
This site contains links to external websites including government agencies and publicly funded resources. HarborNest has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the privacy practices of linked external sites.
Data Retention
No personal data is retained by this site beyond what is present in standard server access logs. Server log data is not linked to individual user profiles and is retained only for the period required for security monitoring purposes.
Your Rights
If you have submitted information through the contact form and wish to confirm that no data from that submission is retained on server systems, you may request confirmation by using the contact form. Because the form does not transmit or store data, confirmation can be provided that no personal data from the submission exists.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. The date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
