Privacy Policy

Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how RW LYNCH collects, uses, and shares information when you visit rwlynch.com or interact with the site’s features. The site runs on WordPress and is administered by a small team. User registration is not open to the public; accounts exist only for site administrators.

Information we collect

We collect only the information needed to operate the website, respond to messages, and maintain security.

  • Contact form submissions: the details you enter (such as your name, email address, and message) and any files you choose to send.
  • Comments: if you leave a comment on a post, WordPress asks for your name, email address, and an optional website URL. WordPress also records your IP address and browser user agent as part of basic anti-abuse and troubleshooting measures.
  • Server and CDN logs: our hosting environment and content delivery network record technical logs when you access the site. These logs typically include IP address, date and time of request, the page requested, and user agent.

How we use your information

We use the information described above to operate and improve the site, to respond to inquiries, to moderate comments, and to keep the site secure and reliable. We do not sell your personal information and we do not run advertising or affiliate tracking on this site.

Cookies and local storage

This site uses minimal cookies.

  • Commenter convenience: if you leave a comment, WordPress may store your name, email, and website in cookies on your device so you do not have to re-enter them next time.
  • Administrator sessions: cookies are set for logged-in site administrators to maintain their sessions. These cookies are not used for visitors who are not logged in.
  • No analytics or ad cookies: the site does not use third-party analytics, advertising, or newsletter tracking cookies.
