Privacy Policy

There’s no sign-up and no account on Get Local, so I don’t ask you for a name or email to use the site.

The only personal data that ever lands in my hands is what you choose to give me — typically when you reach out through the contact form. I use that solely to write you back.

Event details displayed on the calendar (title, date, time, location, description) come from the organizers themselves or from public sources. They are public information by design.

Like virtually every website on the internet, my server automatically logs standard, anonymized technical data when you visit:

• Browser type and approximate device category (desktop / mobile).
• Pages visited and general traffic patterns.
• Error logs that help me catch and fix bugs.

There’s also a simple visitor counter that tallies one visit per browser per day — it powers the Today / Lifetime pills in the footer. It records nothing about who you are: no IP, no fingerprint, no cookies. The only thing stored in your browser is a tiny per-day flag (in localStorage) so the same browser isn’t counted twice in one day.

I use all of this solely to improve the experience for the community.

I use a small number of trusted, industry-standard third-party services to keep the platform running safely:

• Database — my database provider stores event data on secure, encrypted infrastructure.

When you click an external link (a ticketing site like Eventbrite, a venue’s own page, AllTrails, etc.), you are leaving Get Local and entering a site governed entirely by that service’s own privacy policy. I have no visibility into what happens once you leave.
