Privacy policy
The site is designed to work without an account and to collect as little visitor information as practical.
What Burlington News stores
The site does not currently require an account, sell visitor data or build advertising or political-preference profiles. A small browser setting may be stored on your device so the site remembers whether you chose light or dark mode.
Interactive quizzes may keep temporary progress in the page while you play. That score is not sent to a Burlington News database.
Feedback
The feedback page lets you write a message and optionally enter an email address. The current form opens your own email application with that information filled in; the static website does not submit or store the form contents itself.
If you send the email, your email provider and the receiving mail service will process the message under their own policies. Do not include sensitive information that is not needed to resolve the issue.
Ward finder and embedded services
The ward page uses the City of Burlington's official address lookup. If you enter an address in that embedded City/ArcGIS tool, the request is handled by that service rather than by Burlington News. A direct link is also provided if you prefer to use the City's tool outside this site.
Hosting and normal web logs
The site is hosted using GitHub Pages. GitHub and network providers may process ordinary technical information needed to deliver a webpage, such as an IP address, browser information, request time and requested page. Their handling of that information is governed by their own policies.
External links and images
Pages may load or link to material from government sites, local reporting, candidate websites, Wikimedia Commons and other third parties. Those services can receive ordinary browser request information and have their own privacy practices. Burlington News does not control their systems.
If the site adds new features
If a future newsletter, account, advertising, analytics, partnership or other feature materially changes what visitor information is collected or stored, this page should be updated to explain it before or when that feature is introduced.
