What this site keeps, and what it does not

Who runs this guide

TownofNiwot.com is an independent community guide to Niwot, Colorado, published and edited privately by a resident. It is not a municipal government website, the Niwot Election Commission, Boulder County, or an incorporation campaign, and no public body collects anything through it.

Requests and questions reach the editor through the submission form, choosing “Something else”. A direct editorial address will be published here as soon as one is in regular use.

What is collected, and why

The submission form. When you send a listing, an event or a correction, we receive what you type: the kind of submission, the name of the business, event or page, the details, a link to your page or source, and your email address if you choose to give one. The email address is optional and is used only to reply about that submission.

The notices form. When you ask for email notices, we receive your email address. It is used only to send those notices. The form is not on the site while delivery is being tested; the commitments below apply whenever it is.

Server logs. The hosting provider records each request to the site — the address requested, the time, your IP address and browser details — for security and to keep the site running. We do not use these logs to identify readers.

Type from Google Fonts. The pages load two typefaces from Google Fonts. Your browser requests the font files from Google’s servers, which receive your IP address and browser details under Google’s own privacy policy. Nothing else on the site is loaded from a third party.

Where it is processed and stored

Form submissions are received by Formspree, a form-handling service, which forwards each one as an email to the editor’s mailbox. Formspree operates in the United States. It receives only what you type into the form, keeps a copy in its submission archive so that a lost email can be recovered, and is not given the information for any other purpose. Nothing you send is sold or shared with advertisers. It is not passed to any organization other than Formspree, which handles it only to deliver it, and the editor who reads it.

How long it is kept

A submission is kept for as long as it is needed to act on it. Where it leads to a published correction or listing, the submission is kept as the record of what changed and why, because corrections here are published with their date and source. A submission that leads nowhere is deleted within twelve months.

Notice addresses are kept until you unsubscribe, and then deleted within seven days.

Notices, and how to stop them

Notices are sent only to addresses entered in the notices form; sending a correction does not sign you up. They are occasional — one when something on the guide changes, never on a fixed schedule and never for advertising. Every notice says how to unsubscribe — reply with the word unsubscribe, or use the link in the message — and the address is then removed.

Access and deletion

You can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Send the request through the submission form, choosing “Something else”, or reply to any notice. We answer within thirty days.

Cookies, analytics and tracking

This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics, carries no advertising and includes no third-party tracking scripts. The only requests that leave the site are the font files described above.

Questions and changes

Privacy questions go to the editor by the routes above. Changes to this page are published with the date they took effect and a note of what changed.

The opening said nothing beyond two email addresses was collected while later sections described server logs and font requests; it now says what the hosting and font providers process. The statement that nothing is passed to any other organization was reconciled with the naming of Vercel and Resend as processors.
