Information Collected

Server Logs

The web server that hosts MossyBridge.org automatically records standard access logs when you visit pages on this site. These logs include the requesting IP address, the date and time of the request, the URL requested, the HTTP status code returned, and the browser and operating system reported by your browser. Server logs are retained for 30 days and then deleted. They are not sold or shared with third parties.

Contact Form Submissions

If you submit the contact form on the About page, the information you enter — phone number, name, email address, and message — is transmitted to the archive operator by email. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry. It is not added to any mailing list or shared with third parties.

Cookies

MossyBridge.org uses one functional cookie stored in your browser's local storage: a record of whether you have accepted or declined the cookie notice shown on the homepage. This record is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to any server. It is used solely to avoid showing the cookie notice on subsequent visits. No tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies are used on this site.

Use of Information

Information collected through server logs is used for the sole purpose of maintaining the technical operation of the site — identifying errors, monitoring load, and responding to security incidents. Contact form submissions are used solely to respond to the inquiry submitted. No collected information is used for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.

Third-Party Services

MossyBridge.org loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). When your browser loads a page, it may send a request to Google's servers to retrieve font files. Google's privacy policy governs data collected through this request: policies.google.com/privacy.

Article images are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). Your browser may send a request to Wikimedia's servers when loading these images. Wikimedia's privacy policy governs data collected through this request: foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy.

Data Retention

Server logs are retained for 30 days. Contact form submissions are retained until the inquiry has been resolved, and for a maximum of one year thereafter. Local storage data (cookie consent record) remains in your browser until you clear your browser data.

You may request access to any personal information held by MossyBridge.org, request correction of inaccurate information, or request deletion of information. To make such a request, contact info@mossybridge.org.
