Privacy Policy

How this restored static edition handles information, local search, external links, and requests.

The scope of this policy

This policy describes the restored static edition of groundwater-quality.org and its new editorial pages. It does not describe the historic operators’ former services or the practices of organizations linked from the archive. The original Friends of Groundwater and World Water Quality Alliance material is preserved with its historical context. New editorial work is identified separately.

Information processed by the website

The supplied website code has no visitor accounts, newsletter subscriptions, payment processing, advertising scripts, analytics trackers, or active submission forms. Its search feature searches a bundled index in your browser. Search words are placed in the search-page URL; they are not sent by this code to an external search provider. Do not enter sensitive personal information into a search field or a URL.

The hosting provider may receive ordinary request information such as IP address, requested address, browser information, and request time when delivering a page. Actual logging, security processing, retention, and geographic processing depend on the hosting configuration. They cannot be established from this static package. A deployed operator should publish its verified hosting details and responsible contact before offering services that collect personal information.

Cookies, storage, and assets

The current supplied code does not set cookies or use localStorage or sessionStorage to profile visitors. Fonts and article images are served locally. Ordinary browser caching can retain copies of resources. See the Cookies page for the distinction between caching and cookies.

Links to other organizations

References open websites operated by other organizations. Following a link sends a request to that organization, which applies its own policies. The archive contains historic partner and resource links; their presence does not mean those services are operated by this edition. There are no automatically loaded third-party video players or article-photo hosts in the supplied editorial pages.

Requests and corrections

Use the Contact page to check the current contact status. No active public email address has been verified in the restored source. Do not submit sensitive information through the historic forms: they are inactive. Applicable privacy rights and the responsible party depend on the actual operator and jurisdiction. This page does not claim a response channel or a retention period that has not been established.

Changes

Reviewed on 14 November 2026 against the supplied static code. If analytics, forms, hosting arrangements, or other services change, review this policy and the Cookies page before those changes are introduced.
