1. Who We Are
This website, pdm1.org, is operated by an individual content publisher. For any privacy-related questions or requests, please contact us at: https://pdm1.org/contact
2. What Data We Collect and Why
a) Contact Form
When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list or share your details with third parties without your explicit consent.
b) Analytics Data (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This service collects data such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and approximate geographic location.
This data is processed by Google LLC and is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We do not use analytics data to identify you personally.
c) Embedded Content from Third Parties
Some pages on this site include embedded content such as YouTube videos and maps (e.g., Google Maps). Embedded content from third-party websites behaves as if you have visited those websites directly. These services may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interactions with the embedded content — including if you are logged into an account on their platform.
Relevant third-party privacy policies:
d) Cookies

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site function. We use a cookie consent mechanism to obtain your agreement before placing non-essential cookies.
e) Future Data Collection (Notice)
We may in the future introduce user accounts and/or email newsletter subscriptions. If and when we do, this privacy policy will be updated accordingly, and we will obtain your explicit consent before collecting any additional personal data.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

- Consent — for non-essential cookies and any future email communications. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
- Contract performance — if you contact us, to respond to your inquiry.
4. How Long We Retain Your Data
- Contact form submissions: We retain your message and contact details for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, and delete them once the matter is resolved — generally within 12 months.
- Analytics data: Retained by Google in accordance with their data retention settings, which we have configured to 13 months.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

We will disclose your personal data if required to do so by law or in good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations.
6. International Data Transfers
As an internationally accessible website, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or participation in recognized data privacy frameworks) to ensure your data is protected.
