Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains what information Tri-Cities Queer Concierge collects and how it is used. This site is designed to collect as little personal information as possible.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect or use:

  • advertising or marketing profiles
  • browser fingerprints
  • third-party tracking identifiers
  • data that is sold or shared for advertising

We do not set tracking cookies. The site uses a single essential session cookie (described in section 4) that is required for the site to function securely.

2. Voluntary Information

The only personal information collected is what you choose to provide when contacting the site through the contact form. This may include:

  • your name
  • your email address
  • the content of your message

This information is used only to respond to your inquiry. It is not shared, sold, or used for marketing.

3. Spam Protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)

To prevent spam and automated abuse, the contact form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile. When you submit the form, your IP address and basic technical information are sent to Cloudflare to verify that the submission is from a real person. This processing is performed by Cloudflare under its own privacy policy. We use it only to keep the contact form free of abuse, not to track or identify you.

4. Cookies

This site sets one essential cookie, a session cookie, which is required for security features such as protecting forms against cross-site request forgery and for signing in to the admin area. It contains no personal information and is not used for advertising, analytics, or tracking. No other cookies are set by this website.

5. Security Logging

To protect the admin area from automated attacks, failed administrator login attempts are temporarily recorded along with the originating IP address. These records are used solely to limit repeated login attempts and are automatically deleted after a short period. This logging applies only to attempts to sign in to the private admin area and does not affect ordinary visitors browsing the site.

6. Analytics and Tracking

This site does not use any analytics or tracking services. We do not measure, profile, or follow your activity across this site or any other website.

7. Third-Party Links

Listings may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. When you leave this website, their policies apply.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent personal information. We do not share or transfer it to any third party, except for the limited service providers described in this policy (such as Cloudflare for spam protection and our email provider for delivering contact messages) or when required by law.

9. Data Security

Reasonable measures are used to protect any information you voluntarily submit. However, no method of communication or storage is completely secure.

10. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. The "Last updated" date will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the site indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
