What this website is
BirdsAndVisitors.com shows a live stream, videos and blog posts about birds and other wildlife in a private garden. You can visit the website without creating an account.
Server log files
When you open a page, the hosting provider KVC Hosting LLC (412 E. Madison St., Suite 1122, Tampa, FL 33602, USA) automatically stores technical data in log files: your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, and your browser and operating system. This is needed to deliver the website and keep it secure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The log files are kept and deleted according to the hosting provider’s retention policy. Because the provider is based in the USA, this data may be processed there.
Cookies and consent
This website uses a consent banner. Cookies that are not technically necessary, such as statistics cookies, are only set after you agree. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the banner.
Google Analytics
If you agree, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are read most. Google processes usage data and a shortened IP address, and data may be transferred to the USA. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.
YouTube videos
The live stream and videos on this website are embedded from YouTube, a service of Google Ireland Limited. When a page with a video loads, your browser connects to YouTube servers and YouTube may set cookies and process your IP address. More information is in Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Links to other websites and affiliate links
This website links to other websites such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and Amazon. Some links to products are affiliate links: if you buy something through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The privacy policies of those websites apply once you leave this site.
Contact
If you contact me through Facebook, YouTube or TikTok, your message is processed by that platform under its own privacy policy. I use your message only to answer you.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw a consent you have given. You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority.
Changes
This privacy policy may be updated when the website changes. Last updated: 6 October 2026.
