Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 23, 2026

Geographic Core (“we,” “us”) operates the website geographiccore.org (the “Site”). This policy explains how information is handled when you read our articles and use our contact email. We do not operate a user login system on the Site as shipped in this static template; if you add accounts or forms later, update this document to match.

1. Information we do not intentionally collect on-page

The HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files in this project do not embed hidden fields that extract personal data from your device. You may browse pages without creating an account on our template.

2. Information your browser sends automatically

When you request a page, servers and networks involved in hosting may log technical data such as IP address, approximate region derived from routing, browser type, timestamps, and requested URLs. Those logs are controlled by your hosting provider, not by this repository. Ask your host for their retention and access policies.

3. Third-party resources loaded from CDNs

This Site may load fonts, Tailwind CSS, or jQuery from public content delivery networks. Those providers may receive standard HTTP data (including IP address) when your browser fetches assets. Review their privacy notices if you require a strict data-minimization posture; self-hosting assets removes that category of transfer.

4. Email correspondence

If you email us at hello@geographiccore.org, we receive your address, message content, and message headers. We use that information only to respond and to maintain ordinary mailbox security. We do not sell email lists.

5. Cookies and local storage

This template does not set analytics cookies by default. If you add measurement tools, disclose their names, purposes, and opt-out paths here.

6. Legal bases (EEA/UK readers)

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on legitimate interests to operate the Site, respond to emails, and secure our systems; where consent is required for optional tools you add, obtain it before activation.

7. Retention

Email is retained as long as needed for the conversation and any follow-up obligations, unless law requires longer storage. Server logs follow the hosting provider’s schedule.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Contact us at the email above to exercise rights connected to messages you have sent us.

9. Children

The Site is educational and suitable for curious teenagers, but it is not directed at collecting data from children under 13 (or the age required in your jurisdiction). If you believe we have received a child’s personal information inadvertently, email us and we will delete it where feasible.

10. Changes

We may revise this policy when the Site’s features or legal context change. The “Last updated” line will change accordingly. Material changes may be highlighted on the home page if we add a notice mechanism.

11. Contact for privacy questions

Email hello@geographiccore.org with “Privacy” in the subject line.
