Privacy Policy

Transparency regarding data collection, cookies, server diagnostics, and privacy practices across EachTown.

1. Information We Collect

EachTown operates without requiring user registration, personal accounts, logins, or passwords. Visitors may browse all locality profiles, search indexes, and statistical tables anonymously.

Standard web server access logs collect transient technical diagnostics when you make HTTP requests: client IP address, user agent header, referral URI, and request timestamps. These logs assist security monitoring, rate limiting, and infrastructure diagnostics. We do not correlate server logs with individual personal identities.

2. Cookies & Local Storage

EachTown uses only essential technical cookies necessary for website operation and security:

Cookie / Storage Key Category Purpose Duration
csrf_cookie_name Strictly Necessary Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection token. Session (2 hours)
ci_session Strictly Necessary Session state maintenance for server requests. Session

We do not load third-party commercial advertising trackers, fingerprinting scripts, or behavioral data brokers.

3. Public Records & Data Ethics

All population counts, demographic tables, and geographic coordinates published across EachTown are derived from open public records released by federal agencies under open data mandates. We do not index individual private citizens, credit histories, or non-public property records.

4. Outbound Links & Third Parties

EachTown contains hyperlinks to external sites, including federal agencies (Census Bureau, USGS, NOAA) and educational directories (k12guides.com). EachTown does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party domains.
