Privacy Policy
Updated 12 October 2026. This policy covers alwenmerchstore.com, an English-language knowledge website about everyday goods. Questions about this policy can be sent to otindam@alwenmerchstore.com.
Reading the website
You can read the articles without creating an account on the self-hosted HTML website. The site code does not include advertising trackers, analytics tags, a newsletter signup or a checkout. Images, styles and scripts are served with the website rather than embedded from stock-photo services.
The server or hosting provider receives connection information needed to deliver pages, such as an IP address, the requested address, browser information and the time of a request. Hosting logs and retention depend on the provider and server configuration. This website does not set a separate retention schedule for those infrastructure logs.
Search and browser storage
Article search and subject filtering run in your browser using text already on the page. The site does not send your search terms to a search service or save them in a visitor profile. The site code does not set preference cookies or use local storage.
A private preview hosted by another platform may require that platform’s sign-in and use its own cookies. Those platform functions are covered by its policies; they are not part of the downloadable static website.
Email you choose to send
If you contact the listed address, your email provider and the receiving mailbox process the message. The message may include your address, name and anything you write or attach. It is used to understand and respond to your enquiry or deal with the issue you raise. Please send only information needed for that purpose.
This website does not promise a fixed mailbox retention period. If you want a message corrected or deleted, write to the same address and identify the correspondence. Requests may be limited by information that must be retained for a legal obligation or an unresolved matter.
Links to other websites
Some articles link to manufacturers, reference material or other outside pages. Following a link takes you to a separate website with its own information practices. Alwen does not control those websites or receive the contents of forms you submit there.
Changes and questions
If the website adds a feature that changes how personal information is handled, this page should be updated to describe it. The date above identifies this version. Contact the listed email address with questions or requests concerning information you have provided.
