Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how this website (“Site”) collects and processes personal data.
Controller: 'The Heritage of the Great War' (the “Project”).

2. What data we collect

Depending on how you use the Site, we may process:

  • Usage data: pages viewed, time on page, clicks, scrolling, referrer, approximate location (city/region), device type, browser, operating system.
  • Technical data: IP address (typically processed in truncated/anonymized form where possible), language settings, timestamps, error logs.
  • Contact data (if you contact us): your name, email address, and the content of your message.
    We do not ask visitors to provide sensitive personal data (e.g., health, religion, political opinions).

3. Why we process data

We process data to:

  • operate and secure the Site,
  • understand which pages and topics are useful to visitors,
  • improve content, navigation, and performance,
  • respond to messages you send us.

4. Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

Where applicable (e.g., EEA/UK), we rely on:

  • Consent (for analytics cookies and similar technologies, when required),
  • Legitimate interests (site security, basic performance monitoring),
  • Contract/pre-contract steps (if you request something explicitly),
  • Legal obligations (when we must comply with the law).

5. Cookies and similar technologies

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., local storage) for:

  • essential functionality and security,
  • analytics (Google Analytics), subject to your choices/consent where required.
    Details about specific cookies should be provided in a separate Cookie Policy.

6. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure and understand Site usage (for example, which pages are visited most). Google Analytics may set cookies and collect usage information.
Where required by law, analytics will only run after you provide consent via a cookie banner/settings.
You can also use Google’s analytics opt-out solutions (e.g., browser add-on) and browser settings to limit cookies.

7. Sharing and disclosure

We may share data:

  • with service providers that help run the Site (e.g., hosting, analytics),
  • if required to comply with legal obligations or to protect rights and security.
    We do not sell personal data.

8. International transfers

Some providers (including Google) may process data outside your country. When required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers (such as contractual protections).

9. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary:

  • analytics data: retained according to our analytics configuration and legal requirements,
  • contact messages: retained as needed to respond and keep basic correspondence records,
  • security logs: retained for a limited period to detect abuse and troubleshoot issues.

10. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • access your personal data,
  • correct inaccurate data,
  • delete data,
  • object to processing or restrict processing,
  • withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent),
  • data portability (where applicable),
  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise rights, contact us at the email listed above.

11. Children’s privacy

This Site is an educational/historical archive and is not intended for children under the age where parental consent is required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

12. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to reduce risks.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the Site or legal requirements. We will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date.
