Who we are and what this page covers

African Heritage Style & Craft (ushirika.pl) is an informational website. This page describes which data is processed when you read it, for what purpose, and what your rights are.

What we collect — and what we don’t

You can read everything on this site without creating an account. There is no user registration, no newsletter and no comment section here, and we do not ask for your name, e-mail address or any other personal details.

Server logs and delivery

Like any website, the servers that deliver these pages automatically process the technical data needed to show the page and keep the service secure: your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page requested and basic browser information. This data is used for security and troubleshooting only and is not combined with other information to identify you.

Pages are delivered through a content delivery and security network (Cloudflare), which processes the same technical data on our behalf to protect the site from abuse and to speed up loading.

Visitor statistics

We measure visits with a self-hosted statistics tool that works without cookies. It records anonymous, aggregated figures only — for example how many times a page was viewed and where visitors came from. Nothing is stored on your device for this purpose.

This site also uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics sets its own cookies (for example _ga and _ga_…) to distinguish visitors and to produce aggregated reports on how the site is used: which pages are viewed, for how long, from which approximate location and on what type of device. The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to Google and may be stored on servers outside your country; Google processes it on our behalf to evaluate the use of the site. You can prevent this by blocking cookies in your browser or by installing the browser add-on that Google offers for opting out of Google Analytics.

Cookies

Apart from the Google Analytics cookies described above, this site does not set advertising or tracking cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will continue to work.

Embedded content and external links

Some articles may include content embedded from other services, for example videos. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the provider’s own website: the provider may collect data about you and set its own cookies, in particular when you play the video.

Articles may contain links to third-party websites. We have no control over those sites; once you follow a link, the privacy policy of that website applies.

Your rights

Under data protection law (UK GDPR and GDPR) you have the right to ask what personal data is processed about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, and to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority. Because we do not keep data that identifies individual visitors, in most cases there will be nothing to disclose or delete — but we answer every request.
