Privacy Policy and Terms

Welcome to ItalianHeritage.eu. This document outlines the privacy practices and terms of use governing this website. My goal is to keep things as simple, clear, and safe as possible.

1. Privacy Policy (No Data Collection)

This website is completely static. I care deeply about your digital footprint, which means:
• No Accounts or Databases: I do not use any databases. You cannot register, and I do not store usernames, passwords, or personal profiles.
• No Newsletters or Email Storage: I do not collect, request, or store your email address or any contact details.
• No Tracking Scripts: I do not run tracking scripts or analytical tracking pixels that follow your behavior across the web.
• Third-Party Services: I embed interactive elements like Google Street View maps and provide links to PayPal for voluntary tips. These external platforms may collect technical logs or cookies required to run their services. I highly recommend reviewing the privacy policies of Google and PayPal regarding how they process your data.
