Privacy Policy

1. Scope and contact

This policy applies to localcornerjournal.org, the Local Corner Journal website. For questions about this policy or a request concerning information you have sent, write to contact@localcornerjournal.org.

2. Information you choose to send

If you contact us by email, your email address, message and any information you include are used to respond to the inquiry. Please do not send passwords, banking records, tax identifiers or other sensitive documents. Email correspondence is not an automatic newsletter subscription.

3. Contact form availability

The web form is not yet connected to its receiving service. Use the published email address for inquiries at this stage. An unavailable form does not store a message successfully or create a confirmed submission. The page confirms receipt only when the receiving service acknowledges a message.

4. Form processing when activated

When connected, the form sends your name, email address, optional phone number, topic and message through a Cloudflare contact gateway to a Google Sheet using Google Apps Script. These service providers handle the data to support inquiry delivery. Cloudflare Turnstile processes technical browser and network signals to help prevent spam. This is separate from email delivery and does not automatically subscribe you to marketing.

5. Technical data and browser storage

The hosting service may process technical request information such as IP addresses and browser details to deliver and protect the website. The site contains no analytics tags or advertising trackers. When the contact service is active, session storage keeps a submission identifier and confirmation token, not the form contents. Gateway delivery records expire after up to 24 hours of active use and are cleaned periodically; this technical period does not describe retention of a delivered message in a mailbox or spreadsheet.

6. Retention and requests

Contact information is used for responding to inquiries and handling related follow-up, rather than building advertising profiles or selling contact lists. Ask the contact address about access, correction, deletion, retention or the processing location of your correspondence. A request may require proportionate identity verification. Do not send identification documents unless a secure method and a specific need have been agreed.

7. External services and changes

Links to Intuit, Cloudflare, Google and other external websites lead to services with their own privacy practices. The hosting and inquiry services may process information in different countries. This policy must be reviewed when the form is activated or the site adds a new data use.
