Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 28, 2026

RedbankValley.org provides community information and online services for the Redbank Valley area. This policy explains what information may be collected when you use this website, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

Information we collect

We collect information that you choose to provide through contact forms, directory or classified-listing submissions, job or volunteer forms, newsletter sign-ups, account registration, and other interactive features. Depending on the form, this may include your name, email address, phone number, organization, message, listing details, uploaded files, and other information you submit.

When you visit the site, our hosting, security, and analytics services may automatically process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages, referring page, timestamps, and security events. Cookies or similar technologies may be used to operate essential site features, remember preferences, prevent abuse, measure site usage, and support embedded content.

How we use information

We use information to operate and improve RedbankValley.org, respond to inquiries, deliver requested services, publish approved community submissions, manage user accounts, protect the site from spam and malicious activity, troubleshoot technical issues, and comply with applicable legal obligations. We do not sell personal information.

Contact forms and email

Information submitted through a contact form is used to respond to the inquiry and may be delivered through third-party email and security providers. Do not submit sensitive personal, financial, medical, or confidential information through a public website form.

Service providers and third-party content

We may use trusted service providers for website hosting, content delivery, security, spam prevention, email delivery, analytics, backups, and site administration. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services and under their own privacy terms. The site may also include maps, videos, social-media feeds, advertisements, job listings, or other embedded content. Interacting with embedded content may allow the third-party provider to collect information as if you visited that provider directly.

Public submissions

Information submitted for publication in a business directory, classified listing, event, job posting, community calendar, or similar public feature may be displayed publicly. Please submit only information you are authorized and comfortable to make public.

Cookies

Essential cookies may be used for security, forms, user sessions, and site functionality. Additional cookies may be set by analytics or embedded third-party services. You can control cookies through your browser, although disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.

Data retention and security

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain site records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal or security requirements. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no online service or method of transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that you submitted, subject to legal, security, and operational requirements. You may also unsubscribe from optional communications by using the instructions in the message or contacting us.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the website and its services change. The effective date above will be revised when material changes are published.
