Privacy

Your privacy, in plain English

Last updated September 29, 2026

Wartburg Local is a free community calendar. There are no accounts, and we don't sell or rent anyone's information. Here's what we collect and why.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site: which events get the most interest, which pages are useful, and what we can improve. It shows us things like the pages you visit, how you found us (a search, Facebook, a link), your general area (city or region), and your device and browser type.

Google Analytics uses cookies to tell new visitors from returning ones. The reports we see are aggregated. We don't see your name or contact information, and Google Analytics doesn't store IP addresses. Google handles this data under the Google Privacy Policy (see also how Google uses information from sites that use its services).

To opt out, install Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on, block cookies for this site in your browser settings, or use a content blocker. The site works the same either way.

Event submissions and emails

The submit form doesn't send anything by itself. It opens an email in your own mail app for you to review and send. We use what you send to list your event and to follow up if we have questions. Event details you submit may be published. Your name, email and phone number won't be, unless you ask us to list them as the event contact.

If you email us about a featured spot or anything else, we'll only use your message to reply.

Server logs

Like almost every website, our web server keeps short-term technical logs (IP address, browser type, page requested and time) to keep the site running and secure. We don't use them for marketing.

Links to other sites

Event pages link to venues, Facebook pages, ticket sites and Google Maps. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which apply once you click through.

Children

This site is a general-audience community calendar and isn't directed at children under 13.

Changes and questions

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Questions, or want something you sent us removed? Email contact@wartburglocal.com.
