Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how NorthHarborPost (northharborpost.org) handles information collected through normal site operation. This site does not collect personal information for commercial purposes and does not sell data to third parties.

Information collected automatically

When you visit this site, standard server log data may be recorded. This includes your IP address, the pages visited, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and the date and time of access. This information is used solely for diagnosing technical issues and understanding how pages are accessed. It is not linked to personally identifiable information unless required by law.

Cookies

This site uses cookies in the following limited ways:

• Cookie consent preference — A single localStorage key (nhp_cookie_consent) is stored in your browser to remember whether you have accepted or rejected the cookie banner. No data is transmitted to any server from this key.
• Analytics cookies (optional) — If analytics tracking is enabled, session data may be recorded through a third-party analytics service. This data is anonymized and aggregated. You may reject this by selecting "Reject" on the cookie banner.

You can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Rejecting cookies does not affect your ability to read content on this site.

Contact form data

The contact form on the About page collects your name, email address, phone number, and message. This data is processed client-side only and is not transmitted to or stored on a server. It is used solely to display a confirmation message. No copy of the submission is retained after you leave the page.

Third-party content

This site displays images hosted on Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). These are direct image embeds. Accessing this site may cause your browser to make requests to Wikimedia servers. Wikimedia's own privacy policy applies to those requests: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy.

Google Fonts are loaded via fonts.googleapis.com. This results in a DNS request to Google's servers. Google's privacy policy applies: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

External links

This site includes links to government and public-information websites. NorthHarborPost is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external sites. Links are provided for reference and do not constitute endorsement.

Children's privacy

This site does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If you believe information from a minor has been submitted through this site, contact us via the form on the About page so it can be reviewed and removed.

Data retention

Server log data, if retained, is kept for a period not exceeding 90 days for diagnostic purposes. No personally identifiable information is archived beyond that period.

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of data associated with you. Since this site retains minimal data, requests of this nature should be submitted through the contact form on the About page.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent version was published. Continued use of this site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
