Privacy & image use
Plain-English site information.
Traffic monitoring
Garden to Galaxy records privacy-friendly totals such as the page visited, broad referral source and device type. It uses browser session storage to avoid counting the same page repeatedly in one tab. The site dashboard does not store visitor IP addresses or create advertising profiles. Hosting and security providers may process technical request information to operate and protect the website.
AI features
The gallery search, image questions and beginner coach can send the question and relevant published image information to an AI service to produce a response. Do not enter private or sensitive information. AI answers can be mistaken and should be treated as guidance rather than a verified scientific record.
Cookies and browser storage
The public site does not use advertising cookies. Limited session storage is used for approximate traffic counting. The protected Admin area uses the hosting platform’s sign-in system.
Copyright and permitted use
Unless stated otherwise, all photographs and written material are © Rob Langhorn and all rights are reserved. Please do not reproduce, sell, edit, train models on or republish an image without written permission. Sharing a direct link to a public Garden to Galaxy page is welcome.
Location privacy
Published photographs use broad public location labels and estimated Bortle classes. Exact private observing addresses are not intentionally displayed.
