Privacy Policy

Updated May 29, 2026

This policy explains how OpenHearthLane handles information when you visit the site. The site is a static informational reference and is intentionally light on data collection.

Information collected

OpenHearthLane does not maintain user accounts and does not run a backend that stores personal data submitted by visitors. The contact form on the site is handled entirely in the browser for demonstration purposes and does not transmit your entries to a server. Because of this, details typed into the form are not received, stored, or shared by the site.

Browser storage and cookies

The site uses a small amount of local browser storage to remember your choice on the cookie notice so that it is not shown repeatedly. This preference stays in your own browser and is not transmitted. No advertising or third-party tracking cookies are set by the site.

Third-party content

Images on the site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons, and web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. When your browser requests these files, the respective providers may receive standard request information such as your IP address, as happens with any externally hosted resource. Please refer to those providers for their own privacy practices.

External links

Articles link to external authoritative sources such as government and standards organizations. Those sites operate under their own privacy policies, which are not controlled by OpenHearthLane.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
