Information policy

Privacy, stated plainly.

Butterfly Haven is an educational atlas. It should collect only the information needed to respond to visitors and operate the services you deliberately connect.

Contact messages

If the optional PHP contact handler is configured, the name, email address, subject, consent choice, and message you submit are sent to the site owner’s configured mailbox. These details should be used only to read and respond to your message.

Do not submit precise locations of rare or vulnerable wildlife, passwords, payment details, health information, or other sensitive personal data.

Newsletter subscriptions

The newsletter fields included in this project are demonstrations until the site owner connects a real mailing provider. Before that connection is activated, a published policy should identify the provider, explain consent and unsubscribe procedures, and describe how subscription data is retained.

Technical information

The static website does not require an account or database. The hosting provider may still process ordinary server logs such as IP addresses, request times, browser information, and requested URLs for security, reliability, and traffic management. Consult the active hosting provider’s policy for its practices.

Keep less, for less time

Contact correspondence should be retained only as long as it remains useful for the conversation, required for legitimate administration, or legally necessary. Messages that are no longer needed should be deleted securely.

Your choices

You may ask the site owner to correct or delete information submitted through the contact form, subject to applicable law and any legitimate retention requirement. Use the contact page for a privacy request.
