Your data, with a clear purpose

Controller & purpose

Col. David J. Wright administers this stage of Vichada Network and reviews submissions. Forms collect your name, contact channel, message and optional details to handle an inquiry, explore a trip, assess a contribution or process a correction. The controller’s institutional notice must be completed and reviewed before public release.

Access, storage & retention

Submissions are stored in the Site database. Only the configured owner can view them in the private desk. Contacts are not published or automatically forwarded to providers. Submission does not generate an automatic email.

Each request expires after 180 days. Expired records are deleted when new requests arrive or the desk opens; there is not yet an independent scheduled deletion job. The owner can delete them earlier. A separate contractual record requires a disclosed purpose and retention period before it is retained separately.

Information we do not request

These forms do not request identity documents, passports, ethnicity, precise home locations, health details or payment data. Please keep these out of your message. Community participation does not require public disclosure of ethnic identity.

Preferences & security

Your browser may store your language choice. Geolocation is not used to choose a language. Forms use server validation, duplicate-prevention identifiers and submission limits. Those limits temporarily store a cryptographic key derived from the connection rather than a plain-text IP address in the request database. Hosting infrastructure may keep its own technical logs.

Usage statistics with Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand website usage, including pages viewed, sessions, devices and general traffic sources. Google may use cookies and browser identifiers to produce these statistics. This measurement complements the hosting platform’s statistical tools.

This integration does not send form contents as custom events and excludes the private desk. Initial page and referrer URLs are sent without query parameters or fragments. This integration does not enable Google Signals or advertising personalization signals. Browser preferences, blockers and Google settings can limit measurement.

Your choices & rights

You may request access, correction, consent withdrawal or deletion through the contact form, quoting your reference. The owner must verify the requester’s identity before disclosing records. Forwarding to a provider or publishing identifiable information requires a specific agreement; this form does not authorize it.
